    Any good pork in Jakarta?

    I'm surprised Indonesia imported pork from many countries (you mentioned US, Spain, Denmark, and Japan). Indonesia is exporting pork to Singapore from Batam or Riau where Salim Group has a large pig farm.

    Unlimited KITAP

    New vs Used Car Buying Experience

    That means, oil change every 5,000 KM as per Suzuki service manual. For me, I always insist on oil change every 10,000 KM, not because of cost but time/effort and saving the environment (not wasting the oil when it is still good). By the way, after almost 30 years, did you ever had the need...

    EV in Indonesia

    I have kgs of old phone battery at home (from phones with user-replaceable batteries) which I cannot conscientiously dispose for garbage collection (due to safety concern). A phone seller once told me to just bury it in my backyard. Obviously, he doesn't want to take it too.

    A problem with a healthcare insurance company

    The Rp600,000 is for BPJS Kesehatan (which is what we are talking about here). "Retirement Savings" is on BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. Different department, separate office, each their own entity.
