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.

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.

"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..."
