Re: Jakarta's trip
Hi bro,

Re: Jakarta's trip

Just want to share my experience with the cops. I was stopped last night in Ancol on the way back from Alexis to my hotel in Kota. They asked for my passport (which of course I did not carry with me). They then went on to say that it's a serious offence for foreigners not to carry around their passport with them while in Jakarta and told me I could either pay them Rp 300k to make the problem go away or follow them back to the police station. After much pleading I told them I did not have so much Rp on me and so that I would follow them back to the station. The discussion went on for about 10 mins after which they relented and let me off with a warning. I must also add that at no time were they hostile or aggressive, if fact they were actually quite friendly, in a rather corrupt sort of way!. I agree with Bro Yokosi with his advice. Keep cool and don't be aggressive. Be polite and plead ignorance and they might just let you of the hook. Additionally, as inconvenient as it is, you may want to consider carrying around your passport if you are traveling around late at night in Jakarta if you want to avoid such run ins with the law.

Re: Jakarta's trip
Hi bro,
Here is some interesting reading. Asia-wide online scams a real threat Hendi Yogi Prabowo, Jakarta | Mon, 06/27/2011 8:00 AM A | A | A | Consumers in Asia were shocked by recent crackdowns on members of organized online crime networks. Nearly 600 people were arrested across Asia, including in Indonesia, as a result of efforts coordinated by regional police. Countries involved in this operation included Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Cambodia and China. Most of the suspects are Taiwanese (410 people) and Chinese (181). In Indonesia, the Indonesian National Police arrested 177 suspects at 15 different locations in Jakarta and its surrounding area. Of this number, 101 are Taiwanese and 76 are Chinese. The total losses caused by this syndicate have not been estimated. Despite somewhat sketchy details on the alleged scam (which appear to vary from country to country), the statements from the authorities of the countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand suggest that the offenders contacted their victims and tricked them into transferring money into several bank accounts owned by the gang. In Malaysia, for example, the scammers were calling their victims in China by means of an Internet phone service and asking them to pay traffic summons into an online account or else they would face court action. Thousands of people had reportedly been conned by the scam. According to the Indonesian National Police, a similar modus had been used in Indonesia to target victims in China. From this case we can see that online scams don’t always require sophisticated computer skills as the perpetrators in this scam generally used common VOIP applications to make phone calls over the Internet. They key behind the “success” of this crime is presumably the perpetrators’ communication skills. In crime prevention studies this is also known as “social engineering”, a method of obtaining sensitive information that would otherwise be inaccessible through the exploitation of human nature (e.g. trust) often by means of deception. In this online scam, at least, social engineering defeated all the anti-fraud technology in place by attacking its weakest spot, humans. In other words, the offenders stole victims’ money without actually breaking into their bank accounts. Thai Police said the “element of surprise” is key in “engineering” the victims into believing that they are contacted by real government officials demanding some sort of payment (e.g. fines). This case is a hard lesson on the importance of consumer education on fraud issues. Clearly the scam would not have been successful if the potential victims were aware of the situation. Their lack of awareness must have been recognized by the offenders beforehand. This is probably why the scammers were willing to make huge “investment” to facilitate their offenses in the forms of, for example, traveling to other countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia to set up their “headquarters”. According to the police, in Indonesia the offenders were renting houses with high-capacity broadband connections that cost them up to Rp 600 million (US$70,000) a month. In other words, although the total losses from the offenses have not been calculated yet, they are expected to far exceed the criminals’ “investment”, particularly since the scam had been going on for several years. Consumer education should thus be at the forefront of efforts to combat fraud. The advance of technology may have facilitated payment activities, but it also creates opportunities for crimes to occur. It does not matter how sophisticated the security technology in use is, as soon as the human elements are compromised there will be nothing that can stop criminals from stealing from their victims. Another lesson from this Asia-wide scam is that criminals are now seemingly becoming more and more organized, day by day. Information and communication technology has been used to organize hundreds of scammers to prey on victims. This will surely create jurisdiction problems in tracking down and apprehending offenders. This is also why collaboration between police agencies of different countries is needed to crack down on such international crimes. The raids on 15 different locations in Jakarta and surroundings, for example, were conducted on the basis of information and requests from the Chinese and Taiwanese police agencies. Because of the known adaptability of organized crime syndicates, the joint operation was carried out simultaneously in several countries to prevent offenders from escaping. Globalization affects many aspects of life, including how crimes are perpetrated. Many organized criminals are now expanding their activities at an alarming rate. They even have their own “underground economy” that provides them with, among other things, necessary means to ensure the success of their criminal activities. Therefore, cooperation among law enforcement agencies is an important element in combating transnational crime and should always be enhanced to ensure that resources are allocated effectively and efficiently. The writer is the director of the Center for Forensic Accounting Studies at the School of Accounting of the Islamic University of Indonesia, Yogyakarta. He obtained his master’s and doctoral degrees in forensic accounting at the University of Wollongong, Australia. My humble two cents.

Re: Jakarta's trip
Hi bro,
Great article, like to hear your comments.... Thanks..... Women can take it all, but husbands must help out Carolyn Baytion-Sunaryo, Jakarta | Thu, 06/30/2011 7:00 AM A | A | A | I was led to believe that if I wanted a good career I would have to settle for a not-so-good family life, and that if I wanted a good family life then I would have to settle for a mediocre career. But I recently discovered I can actually have both. I believe the stumbling block to achieving what I want was the idea that women can’t have it all. I have been reading the work of motivators and what I have come to understand from them is that anything I really dream of or wish for can become a reality. There is no question about whether I will be willing to work hard for it because I will. The thing is, I grew up believing that all I wanted was a family and a comfortable life. In the society where I grew up, working mothers are common, but achieving something big was not really encouraged. Wives were careful not to overshadow the careers of their husbands. I even remembered that at my mother’s elementary school, the only male teacher was the supervisor. I’m not saying here that women should become superwomen who excel in their chosen field of endeavors. I would jokingly label a colleague “superwoman” because aside from having a job and a family to take care of without the assistance of a housemaid, she also serves her church together with her husband. She is very human, just like you and me. Her secret weapon is her husband, who helps her with the household chores and to take care of the children. For women to succeed, we need a lot of support from our husbands and children. The few women CEOs in Fortune 500 companies are helped by their husbands to keep up with their hectic schedules. Angela F. Braly, the president and CEO of WellPoint, judged by The Wall Street Journal (Nove. 19, 2007) as no. 1 in “The 50 women to watch” has three children and since her appointment to the top position, her husband has decided to become a stay-at-home dad. I think men are better at taking care of children. They are more fun to be with and are less fussy and worry a lot less than women. They are not like us who follow our children around nagging them about eating their fruits and vegetables, etc. Men are also better at discipline because they are less emotional. It is touching to know that the former president Abdurrahman “Gus Dur” Wahid would wake up in the middle of the night to change his baby’s diaper before giving the baby to his wife for breastfeeding. Then when the baby went back to sleep he would again take the baby back to the crib. And in Gus Dur’s political career, his wife was always at his side. This is what husbands and wives are for; to support one another. It is important for women to have the support of their husbands if they are to contribute to building the Indonesian economy. Most men, even if they are educated abroad, still believe that taking care of the home and children is largely the responsibility of the wives/mothers. So, if children are not doing well at school, it’s the mother’s fault. There was recent controversy between a prominent couple whose marriage was in a shambles because the husband demanded that his wife, a famous singer and composer, should devote her time to being a full-time housewife. There is nothing lowly about being a housewife. But if a woman is capable of doing more then she should be given the freedom to express herself, as long as what she’s doing is within the bounds of morality. Every person, man or woman, has the right to develop themselves to the fullest. The reduced time she has with her children should be taken care of by her husband. Husbands and wives have to help one another. Having to work at the same time take care of one’s family in the women’s movement is called a “double burden”. If the husband does not help his wife take care of the family, indeed it becomes a double burden. But if the husband takes part in the child-rearing, like my husband does, it becomes a “double joy.” To be able to work and create something, be productive and contribute to nation-building is a joy. To bring up children to become responsible and creative adults together with a husband is a pleasure. Of course, in the process of doing all these things, we have our ups and downs. We can get frustrated with our colleagues or bosses or subordinates at work. Our children can drive us nuts and show us sometimes that we have not been good examples to them. How do we slowly change society’s attitudes toward supporting women to also dare to dream for something greater? We have to start in our homes. We have to show to our daughters that it is important for them to be more ambitious and prepare for a career that will contribute more to society. If we have sons, fathers should set a good example by supporting their wives in their career. This kind of education should be continued in school. Women should be encouraged to run for presidency in student councils and clubs. This is where they will first acquire their leadership skills. Also, schools, through teachers, who ironically are mostly women, should emphasize that women should have satisfying careers. This makes women grow to be more fulfilled and therefore happier human beings. Eventually, they become better mothers and more productive citizens. Employers also have an important role in making women succeed in the workplace and in their family lives. Companies should allow managers and employees (male and female) to have balanced working lives. The provision of childcare in offices and factories would reduce absenteeism among employees with babies and young children. When the labor market becomes tighter like in first-world countries, more people will demand childcare and educational insurance for their children, which is something Indonesian companies should be prepared to provide in the near future. Having fewer women in the workplace deprives Indonesia of a more humane, ethical, productive, innovative and customer-focused workforce. Not only that, it deprives itself of managers who are more at home with routine work and have greater endurance when it comes to occasional long hours. Women can be up the whole night taking care of their sick children and be at the office the next day. The world is just waiting for us women to start dreaming big dreams. We are already running our households. Now is the time to expand our reach. We can be a great force in all areas, in business, government and politics, science and technology. Happy Family Day!

Re: Jakarta's trip
Hi bro,
Australian Tiger Airways subsidiary grounded Rod McGuirk, The Associated Press, Canberra | Sat, 07/02/2011 8:14 AM A | A | A | An air safety watchdog has grounded all Australian domestic flights of a Tiger Airways subsidiary on Saturday after the budget airline twice flew under the minimum allowed altitude. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority announced that Tiger Airways Australia's entire domestic fleet of 10 airliners was grounded for five business days because continuing flights would pose a serious and imminent risk to air safety. "We don't have confidence in the ability of Tiger to continue to manage the safety of their operations," safety authority spokesman Peter Gibson said. He said he understood that Tiger was the first national carrier in Australia to have its entire fleet grounded. The airline, which entered the Australian aviation market three years ago, alerted passengers in a statement that services will remain suspended until July 9. Fares will be refunded. "Tiger Airways continues to cooperate fully with the industry regulator and safety underpins our operations at all times," the airline said, adding that it was committed to working with the safety authority to restore service as soon as possible. Tiger, the third-largest domestic airline in Australia, operated between all state capitals and several regional cities. Tiger flights between the Australian west coast city of Perth and Singapore are unaffected. The grounding is another blow to the bottom line of Singapore-based Tiger Airways Pty. Ltd., and to passenger confidence after weeks of intermittent flight cancellations due to clouds of volcanic ash over southern Australia since Chile's Cordon Caulle volcano began erupting June 4. Gibson said the airline had twice breached air safety regulations in two weeks by flying under the minimum allowed altitude on approaches to its Australian airport base in Melbourne. The latest breach was on Thursday. The authority responded to previous safety concerns in March by adding conditions to the airline's license to operate in Australian skies, including improvements to pilot training, fatigue management and maintenance. The safety authority will await Tiger's response to its concerns before deciding whether to ask the Federal Court next week to continue the suspension. A failure to resolve the issues could lead to the airline's Australian license being permanently canceled. Tiger is 49 percent owned by national carrier Singapore Airlines Ltd. and 11 percent owned by state-owned investment company Temasek Holdings. Had a horrific flight with tiger from Jakarta to Singapore. The flight was for 1940hrs and was boarded at midnight. Must think twice when flying Tiger air. My humble two cents.
