    Dress Code

    Who says there's a problem? No niqab-wearing woman ever visited my house, only hijab-wearers, so what's the problem?

    Dress Code

    Okay, the niqab-wearing woman entering your house must have been accompanied by her husband or father, am I right? She's not supposed to visit someone alone, if there's male in the house. And she won't be shaking your hands. Or eat/drink other than bottled water.

    Dress Code

    First of all, liking a comment doesn’t necessarily mean agreeing to the comment. Sometimes I leave a like on comments that are responding to my concerns. Nothing more, nothing less. Regarding Balifrog’s comment (post #18), I admired his straight-forward, no-nonsense response to something we...

    Dress Code

    Her co-workers are uncomfortable with her, affecting workplace morale which may lead to decline in the overall quality of work and efficiency. You know, it creates tension and stress when one thinks of others as “not good enough Muslims” or worse as "infidels" (for non-Muslims).

    No, nationalization of foreign-owned businesses is unheard of since Suharto’s time, it only happened during Sukarno’s time.

    No, we are not working from an office building. We are in the manufacturing and we all work inside a factory building (with office under one roof).

    Dress Code

    Didn't you read the OP? I'm asking what to do in this case. I understand we are living in a Muslim majority country, that's why wearing hijab was not an issue. But covering her face (niqab)... don't you have better suggestions other than accepting her choice? For sure, we will now include a...

    Dress Code

    It doesn't matter what the job, when she joined the company, she's not even wearing hijab, then she wore hijab (no problem for the company), and now only her eyes are exposed. It was company's mistake not to include dress code in the contract / rules and regulations. Garuda Indonesia should have...

    Dress Code

    I remember years ago, hijab was not allowed on members of both police and military, what happens if hijab wearers suddenly cover their faces too?

    Dress Code

    Years ago, female employee wants to wear hijab, management says 'okay, no problem'. Now, she covers her face too (only her eyes is uncovered), what to do? Can management fire her? The contract didn't include a clause on the dress code.

    Keep your head down when it comes to government posts

    If this guy owns an export-oriented manufacturing company with hundreds of employees, perhaps they will not deport him for the sake of his workers and their families. His business will have to close if he is deported, which is understandable.

    Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?

    What are they teaching at the madrasah? Intolerance? Hate? I wonder how the mother responded, it must be embarrassing for her.

    Unlimited KITAP

    A Hindu (Balinese) colleague once told me a Hindu man will never convert just to marry a Muslim woman. But a Hindu woman is "free" to convert to marry a Muslim man. Don't know if that's really the case. Nevertheless, I heard that Balinese Hindu is different from Indian Hindu.

    Should work & school be suspended tomorrow?

    Further to my post #26, I found the video, Prabowo mentioned it twice, 1st from 3:14 to 3:40 (26 seconds), then again from 4:27 to 4:34 (7 seconds).

    Should work & school be suspended tomorrow?

    I hope it’s not “calm before the storm”. But a consilience of prediction is ominous. No. 1, Kalla said there is potential for chaos come July-August. No. 2, Daud Tony, the Satanist turned Christian evangelist, predicted chaos starting June-July. Now, Brian Berletic is saying that “they fully...
