    This is how one of the wealthiest families on earth, multi-billionaires, compensate their servants

    That's history, today's world, and the future. If anyone can point out a time in history where the rich and/or powerful didn't tell the rest of the world what to do, please educate me. The only issue to consider is how happy people are living in that world. I believe, apart from the worst...

    OECD accession forces Indonesia’s hand on integrity

    I'll go with about the same - pretty much impossible

    Indonesia's Jobless Gen-Z and demographic disaster

    Indonesia's education system appears to have problems, and they need to be fixed. I don't really know enough about how they work, they seem to choose education ministers without the required level of skill to sort out the system. Perhaps they could look at what China did after the last actually...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    I seem to recall one man died after taking the vaccine under a series of borrowed IDs. The anti vax fools found their mirror in a different type of twit.

    Has anyone here brought household items intoIndonesia

    I wanted ease so I decided which clothes I wanted, then essentials such as a laptop, and that was about that. I looked at shopping and realised it was going to be very easy to buy a fridge and all the usual stuff.

    My house has a maid's room. I wouldn't keep a dog in there.

    Indonesia's Jobless Gen-Z and demographic disaster

    Back to the story itself. The first ting to do is see how many other news outlets have the same story. If it's just one, the story is either a rock solid exclusive, or utter rubbish. Let's say it isn't a popular story in the press. Then to the bones of the story - Is it a lie? In this case...

    I gather tin foil hats are quite cheap.

    Indonesia's Jobless Gen-Z and demographic disaster

    To the JP first That rag quotes pieces from Bloomburg, the NST in Sing, and other couple I forget. Instead of printing lies, they reference lies from other news outlets so they aren't actually claiming anything, thus aren't breaking the law. What this boils down to, is don't believe anything...

    I don't know, but it's the sort of thing I would expect from them

    Has anyone here brought household items intoIndonesia

    I moved over for work a few years ago and, after reading posts on here and another forum, I decided it was a bad idea to bring my things over. The fridge, furniture, and so on were sold. For UK nationals, life is easier as the UK and Indonesian electricity systems are comparable (Close enough)...

    OECD accession forces Indonesia’s hand on integrity

    Obviously the hardest and most unlikely. Reading pieces on this over the last 6 months or so, it looks like Israel is trying to force Indonesia to accept Israel as a legitimate nation in return for it allowing Indonesia's OECD membership. I seem to recall the Israel press were saying Indonesia...

    Dunning + Kruger = fastpatch17 I hope I paid enough attention when we studded Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi's work.

    Indonesia's Jobless Gen-Z and demographic disaster

    They publish stories for political reasons, not to disseminate news as is their job. A couple of weeks ago they assured us there was a massive shortage of air conditions due to a government cock-up, but it was a pure lie. In fact there were concerns about a policy, but it did not cause any...

    Indonesia's Jobless Gen-Z and demographic disaster

    You forgot to mention the mess the Jakarta post is in, and neglected to add a warning about mis-information printed in that rag. You can usually tell with a quick google of the story. If it isn't anywhere else except Kompas and one notably useless Singaporean outlet, it's either a scoop or...
