Indonesia has reasonable number of other controversial, draconian rules that does not exist in many democratic countries.
Apart from the right of foreigners to work, the family members of former communist party even they are the third / fourth generation are not allowed to work in many sectors. It is just that recently they are now allowed to apply in the army forces. What is the grand children, great grand children have got to do with what their grand parents, great grand parents did in the past ??
Also if you are not indigenous you can not become the president. This is mentioned in the constitution, so it is very difficult to change. The term indigenous itself is still very controversial. If you are Arabic descendant you are indigenous, But if your parents come from other part of the word yo are not indigenous.
By these definition, none of the US, AU, CA, NZ president that you have seen sofar are eligible to become presidents as all of the ancestors of these former presidents are immigrants. This has also gone to the extreme level, as even you are the third / fourth generation who were born and grown up in Indonesia of a migrant grand parent/great grand parent come from another countries, you still can not be nominated to become a president.
