TIARA LESTARI AND BALI?
Tiara Lestari (above) and Bali may be the most famous bits of Indonesia.
Jakarta
Indonesia is growing richer and more important to the world.
Jakarta's economy is growing at a rate of 14%.
Jakarta
The consulting firm McKinsey predicts that by 2030 the number of Indonesians earning more than $3,600 annually will treble to 135 million.
The elites in capital cities like London and Jakarta suck in lots of wealth and give little back to the poor.
Over 3 million migrants from the countryside arrive each year in Jakarta and other cities in Indonesia.
Many of them end up hawking food by the roadside or selling things from handcarts or collecting rubbish.
They are part of the informal economy, which accounts for around 70% of GDP.
Indonesia
About 20% of the Indonesian government’s budget is spent on energy subsidies.

However, for the poorest 40% of households, 'consumption' grew by only 1.3% between 2003 and 2010.
My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean
Most Indonesians do not have jobs in the formal economy.

Cheap petrol benefits the rich who have lots of cars.
It has been suggested that the government needs to get the rich elite to start paying their taxes.
The government also needs to spend more on health, education, social welfare and infrastructure.
Indonesia needs to develop manufacturing, so that it is less reliant on imports from China and elsewhere.
Reportedly, many 'professionals' in Indonesia are not properly trained.
Some of them passed their exams only by paying bribes.
Jakarta - the poor get little help from the churches or the mosques. ONE HAND AND HIS MOTHER.

Scott Austin has written about why Indonesian education is in crisis
"If you had to have spinal or brain surgery, would you prefer to have that surgery performed here in Jakarta, in Singapore or Hong Kong?
"... None of my Indonesian friends with any money has ever had major medical procedures performed here.
"They very readily say they would rather fly to Singapore than trust an Indonesian doctor to open them up...
Jakarta.
"My own country, America, is no shining example to follow.
"Indeed, my country has created successive generations of people so devoid of morality that it is soon doomed to entropy in the same way that the Roman Empire did...

Bogor.
"What are the major issues here in Indonesia? Let us look at a few.
"First, corruption...
"Its influence on the educational infrastructure of the country can not be overstated... diplomas being easily purchased and cash-laden envelopes greasing the wheels for degrees that have not been actually earned...

Jakarta
"Second, integrity...
"There is none here.
"The same person who smiles and assures you all is fine will 10 seconds later stab you in the back with no more than a flinch of a thought, if that...
"Above average marks for students who clearly can barely spell their own names, let alone count and reason higher-level arithmetic..."
