    Back as an upper-middle income country, but will Indonesia be trapped there?

    I think there isn't any information about that in the Qur'an, because speakers and microphones are very recent for mosques purpose to my knowledge. i can easily remember like 20 years ago where i grew up mosques didn't have speakers. Most of the mosques had only public megaphone type speakers...

    Yeah my bad. I will guess people are more religious in that part of the country. But still I don't get how the loudspeakers aren't letting Indonesia cross the upper middle income class or even keeping it for that matter. Again my bad, probably things are more complex in that part of the country. 🙏🙏

    Back as an upper-middle income country, but will Indonesia be trapped there?

    Well, it seems everyone else has better understanding about the loudspeakers. I remember when I was in college, the mosque in that area was just on the other side of the road, and i never took prayer including Friday prayer. And yes they had loudspeaker too. It just the way it is. You'd go...

    Back as an upper-middle income country, but will Indonesia be trapped there?

    I wish i had answers for you. I grew up in a muslim majority country and I guess we never thought about the loudspeaker thing, probably because they couldn't afford loudspeakers at that time. But now time has changed, every mosques have speakers. But you should take a look inside specially...

    Well you have endured 2 years of physical torture by one mosque now it comes to 15, I mean you're doing well. It gradually grows on you, right?

    15 mosques in one neighborhood, you should've known that's not pleasant place to live when you did that survey.

    Back as an upper-middle income country, but will Indonesia be trapped there?

    You could be a very devoted Muslim i tell you, because it's very hard to wake up at that time of the night, i have been trying very hard to do that with my phone's alarm and also loudspeakers from the nearby mosques , yet I can't get up.

    Back as an upper-middle income country, but will Indonesia be trapped there?

    Seriously, I just don't understand the mosque part. I mean I am a muslim and I do my prayers five times a day and i barely hear the prayer calls from the mosques, especially for the morning prayer. And i can tell there is no prayer call in the middle of the night. If you refer to the recital...

    ITAS-ITAP conversion ( my experience )

    But my experience for KTP and kk was far better than KanIm, actually since my first itas Disdukcapil was always helpful and nobody ever said anything about fee or charge not for the sktt,ktp or kk.

    ITAS-ITAP conversion ( my experience )

    When I went to the kanim to collect my Itap, the head of the sub section officer asked me ' how do you know it's done' ? I replied ' I got email yesterday. Then he said ' do you know anyone from the Kanwil office? I said no, I don't. Then he said he had a friend in Kanwil who can make things...

    ITAS-ITAP conversion ( my experience )

    Post update, If anyone's still following. ;) I've got my e-KTP today. It took one day after I was required to give my biometrics. That's it. But I had to go to Disdukcapil 3 times! In my first visit they told me ' ada gangguan di jaringan ' probably they couldn't figure how to put WNA in their...

    ITAS-ITAP conversion ( my experience )

    I also read in another blog , someone who's residing in jkt also did their itap conversion without having to go to the KanWil. I don't know probably because I'm living outside of jkt , but at least the KanWil was never been a problem because even though we went to KanWil we never got to meet the...

    ITAS-ITAP conversion ( my experience )

    Thanks to this forum, I already know the laws, at least regarding Kitas/ kitap. So today I went to the kanIm for my passport. The officer (kepala sub seksi) told us to wait for awhile, and he said ' your itap is already done, so you're not going to visit us for next five years, don't you guys...

    ITAS-ITAP conversion ( my experience )

    This is my experience of ITAS to ITAP (spousal) conversion - my 4th Kitas will be expiring in march 2022 and given all the COVID situation I wanted to apply for the conversion bit of earlier, and I thought probably it would take more than six months! I've also read Nicho s post about converting...
