    apparently no IBAN needed or available. I just sent a small sum of money to test and a small fee was deducted but they have not yet been able to explain where it has come from. So I am waiting for a proper explanation on that. Separately there are also 'telex fees'...

    OCBC account opening - reference letter

    well I eventually got it done in the third branch. You have to kind of be aware of what they want, i.e. more than what they say online, which is just KITAS/KITAP - I had a surat domisili, and they asked lots of questions like global net worth. Also it's probably best not to tell them you want to...

    Dying for Democracy in Indonesia #MartirDemokrasi

    I agree, it is idiotic to report 300 people died without knowing what the normal rate of death is among such a number of Indonesians of their age. Very simply if you say 1 in 1000 risk of death per year per person (and I bet it is higher), then out if 7 million people in 11 days you expect 200...
