    Status of women.

    So, when did this self proclaimed messenger of Allah exist. Hadiths are personal interpretations of what this or that person thinks at a given time as to what the Quran means or what Islam is. Most came hundreds of years after the Quran of which Muslims swear is what is to be followed. As for...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    Their business. Only problem is other people just can't mind their own business. That old saying of don't throw rocks doesn't seem to apply here. Too many fanatics trying to control all social interactions and thoughts.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    It is everywhere. Gaja Mada U did a survey 8 or so years ago of married couples that has seemed to not be accessed any longer. At least I can not find it. I figure there are those that would not like this type of information out. The survey, to the best of my recollection pretty much said that...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    Arrested or just apprehended? The police or another group gets word of a good possibility of sexual fun by an unmarried couple. They get the media to tag along so everyone knows they are doing their jobs. The couple gets taken to the police station, they get lectured and sometimes sign a...

    Indonesians Human trafficking in Myanmar ? Is it true ??

    Netanyahu knew what was coming, the Israel Defence Minister knew it was coming so most likely Mossad knew about it. The US told them and that is a fact. This whole Oct 7th thing is on their backs. Maybe they never expected how big it would be but that is no excuse. Netanyahu and his crew should...

    Skype alternative.

    To do much they keep telling me to verify my phone number by entering the code from the sms received. I never received the sms. Tried over 10 times now. Chat told me my phone number won't work because I entered a US address. I went back and checked and I certainly entered Indonesia. I deleted it...

    Kitap Renewal struggles

    Don't know about on line. Never used it. I just walk into the Immigration office and apply for whatever I need. As for KTP and KK, had to show for unlimited KITAP since you were required by law to get those when you first got your KITAP. You have had your KITAP for 5 years without them. I have...

    Foreign visitors MUST be accompanied by licensed local tour guides

    Easy to see the problems by just watching a cashier make change even when the amount is in the receipt. Ask someone directions and you never know where you might end up. Government doesn't want them to know history unless it fits into their nationalistic education.

    Foreign visitors MUST be accompanied by licensed local tour guides

    Just because it is officially free doesn't mean there is no cost to attend. Primary school has a cost for uniforms at a minimum and school supplies, Middle School have a fee of 3 to 4 juta before being accepted. No transparency as to where those funds go. Add cost for uniforms of which some have...

    Quality of Healthcare and Physicians

    There was one occasion when I was getting a follow up exam with BPJS where the doctor sat there and complained about how little he gets from BPJS and openly wanted his patients on BPJS to subsidize it themselves. This after waiting 5 hours because he was busy elsewhere. I told him to take it up...

    In Bandar Lampung we have a mixed bag for trash disposal. In our area and most areas there is trash collection regulated by the Lurah and managed by the RTs. For us it is three times a week pick up for Rp30,000 per month. Still, there are a few that feel for some reason they shouldn't have to...

    Earthquakes and nuclear power plants

    Rivers work and many of them or all of them are inland. But maybe the question should be, how many tsunamis are you expecting? How many since the inception of nuclear plants have their been in Indonesia. Earthquakes for sure, tsunamis, not so much. Krakatoa's last big blast created a wave of 100...
