new podcast: Indonesia's Defence Dilemma
Since taking over Hong Kong ??? Did you know that there was no political freedom pre-1997 ? Who elected the Hong Kong governors? They were not elected but installed. Who could you vote for? Nobody. There was no free press, any criticism of the UK government or crown was treason. You could be...- Dave70

Tokopedia Data Leak
My computers are protected by Kaspersky, their Data Leak Checker detected data leak at Tokopedia, which means my personal data is at risk. There is no instruction though on what to do. So I guess nothing I can do.- Dave70

Credit card for foreigner
If your credit card limit is 30juta (30 x 120% = 36juta deposit), BCA is very generous to give you an "Infinite" because it should have been "Gold" under 40juta. An "Infinite" should have limit above 150juta, under 150juta is "Platinum" in Indonesia as far as I know.- Dave70

EV in Indonesia
I guess it depends how much you use the car. If it's just short distance everyday, then you only need to charge the car twice a week or 8 times a month or 100 times per year. So 4000 cycles = 40-50 years of driving is possible, but don't forget that batteries also degrade over time.- Dave70

EV in Indonesia
If the "lifetime warranty" is on the LFP battery, then it's about 10 years (battery lifespan) or 4,000 cycle count. Some people can be misled into thinking that "lifetime warranty" is forever as long as the car is road worthy.- Dave70

House Construction Questions
My house has timber roof truss with terracotta tiles, never had a leak more than 20 years later. But I noticed there is a layer of rubber sheeting underneath the roof tiles, for waterproofing I suppose. Terracotta roof tiles are itself good soundproof material as it dampens rain noise. It is...- Dave70

KITAP - The "Unlimited" One
If employer has job openings and is hiring to fill a vacancy, then employer pays for everything (including visa and work permits) if he really wants to get him on board. Looks like job seeker is desperate to move to Indonesia, so he accepted the offer. For the employer, it's take it or leave...- Dave70

Excessive Red Tape strangling export businesses in Indonesia
As my title suggests, it’s not about passport or visa but “excessive red tape strangling export businesses in Indonesia”. I understand there are red tapes all over the world, but when it’s excessive, particularly ridiculous or unnecessary, somebody will complain sooner or later. All depends on...- Dave70

Excessive Red Tape strangling export businesses in Indonesia
How to complain without offending the government bureaucrat? You don't want your "suggestion" backfiring as they can make your life difficult. Anywhere I can complain safely or anonymously, with guaranteed result? Nobody in business or trade association wants to speak about it publicly as...- Dave70

Wise (formerly TransferWise)
Yes, you are correct, only send and receive. However, you can only send international transfers through Wise that are funded externally, such as from a bank account or e-wallet. If that's the case, I'll just transfer directly from my bank account, no need to do it through Wise. As for...- Dave70

Regulation in regards to Domestic Helpers
If I were you, I will not "temporarily dismiss" her but retain her with full salary for 6 months while she recovers at her own home. After all, it's hard to find "excellent worker with good disposition".- Dave70
