    Itas to itap

    Just prepare all these 8 to 9-ish documents and put them in a single PDF and upload them via the system in one of the two PDF fields. Don’t make it too difficult (for yourself).

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    Mitsubishi is introducing a new Pajero. Well, in fact it’s a Pajero Sport again, with a diesel engine and a Triton pickup truck base and made in Thailand. But this time they position it as a flagship model so that more or less means the real uber Pajero will never return. Toyota does a bit the...

    Then you could end up with 4% + 2% costs and/or encounter card limits (which for cash withdrawal I would never ever put higher).

    Middle Class Under Pressure

    Conscription of military service (and as alternative service in hospitals etc.). Better exploit that fondness for uniforms and para military organizations.

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    Ya, motorcycles can have the same problem. If it is practically never used and you’re concerned about the battery, you could use a (good!) trickle charger or disconnect the negative terminal. Normally the battery is rather easy to access; under floor plate or in compartment under handle bars. Of...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    All of us with a car probably have done this; let the engine run stationary while waiting for someone or cooling the interior down (or heating it up in colder climates). And drivers here don‘t shy away from letting the car run for hours while they are waiting for their employers shopping...

    It is somewhat more nuanced than that. The Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) requested a temporary transaction suspension (up to five working days) of one account to investigate the legality of the fundraising activities and the source of the donated funds on that account. Mandiri...

    Proposal to increase the parking charge up to Rp60k for cars and up to Rp15k per hour for motor bike !!!

    You are making my point. And no way a hotel receptionist in an Ibis in Amsterdam can afford to park his/her 12 year old Ford Fiesta there. Not even talking about the difference in rent, food, ….

    Free useful tool to improve your Indonesian.

    Whatever formal training and education, you will never learn a language when not speaking it with a native speaker. Immersion is everything. Seen so many people who thought they would learn BI, German, French, Mandarin and Dutch in courses or training and only got the theoretical basics and...

    Should work & school be suspended tomorrow?

    Everybody always gets nervous. Esp. in Chinese areas. Luckily PIK is far away and in Kelapa Gading they applied 9.000 policemen extra.

    Proposal to increase the parking charge up to Rp60k for cars and up to Rp15k per hour for motor bike !!!

    Pff, in cities as Amsterdam and NYC it’s 10x more expensive to park. And sorry, but I’m not against upping parking rates at all. That might finally halt the ‘californian dream’ a bit over here that everybody should have their own car(s), as well as stimulate public transportation. Getting sick...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    In the US it’s built in Alabama. Just like the Santa Fe and some Genesis models. I never see that luxury brand Genesis here (anymore). At the time they were used by the Jokowi government in Bali for the international guests of the G20 summit. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 which was also used, you see...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    There is a completely new model of the Hyundai Tucson announced. Which got a big refresh in ‘24 so it still does have a ‘new’ status. Not a very popular car in Indonesia, they only sold like 100 per year. The Santa Fe does much better, easily times ten. The latter which is much bigger and more...
