Re: Jakarta Info
Basis is that u must know your way... Otherwise, nothing much could be done u know. Even with my years of experience here. I was screwed once when I caught a cab from the Airport home one day.
I board and this driver is very talkative. Insist to have the piece of paper given (When u board a taxi at the Airport, some guys will be around to note down the taxi number in case of compliant) back to him for reference which I did without much thought. Then I notice his hand blocking the meter and I told him 3 times before he removed it and to my surprised. it read 34,000.... just turning out of the airport.. He said sorry and that there is a problem with the car hence he could not send me further. insiste to drop me off at the main road just outside where u see lots of Taxi parked along the toll road. N he asked me to pay him 15,000 which is the surcharge he paid at the airport... ....

Re: Jakarta Info
Subject: FWD: Get proper visa before going abroad
This article is from The Star Online (http://thestar.com.my) URL: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp...n/12246941&sec =nat ion __________________________________________________ __________________ Thursday October 6, 2005 Get proper visa before going abroad BY MERGAWATI ZULFAKAR PUTRAJAYA: Malaysian ambassador to Indonesia Datuk Zainal Abidin Md Zain has this advice to Malaysians intending to do business in that country: get a business visa. He hoped Malaysians would learn from the experience of KPMG accountants Choo Yao Chin and Reimala Sivalingam, who were detained in South Sulawesi on Aug 17 for purported visa violations. “Be careful when you plan to engage in business activities when entering Indonesia. “Are you in Indonesia to do business negotiations or for investment purposes? “So the best thing is to apply for a business visa when you go to Indonesia,” he said, when contacted in Jakarta following the release of the two accountants. Zainal Abidin is no stranger to critical situations, having been involved in several standoffs in several countries previously, including in hotspots like Iran and Iraq. He had flown to Makassar on Monday to negotiate with the district police for the release of Choo and Reimala. The Indonesian government had clearly stated that foreigners planning to do work in that country must apply for the proper permit. However, KPMG had maintained that the two had not violated any immigration laws as under an Indonesian presidential decree, citizens of Malaysia were exempt from needing a visa for the purpose of trade. Choo had reportedly spent his detention in the company of hardcore criminals while Reimala was kept in a women’s detention centre. Both were released on bail of RM36,000 each on Sept 23, but were told not to leave the country. KPMG advisor Datuk Robert Phang reportedly put up the bail. Zainal Abidin said he had informed the local police that the two accountants had not committed any crime but only made a professional mistake. “We have been negotiating on Monday and yesterday. “We managed to resolve the matter amicably without having the two charged in court for visa violation offences,” he said. Zainal Abidin, who started his Indonesian posting two weeks ago, was the Malaysian charge d’affaires in Iran, just after Ayatollah Khomeini came to power, where he observed the hostage crisis involving Americans held for 444 days. <p> __________________________________________________ ______________________ __ Your one-stop information portal: The Star Online http://thestar.com.my http://biz.thestar.com.my http://classifieds.thestar.com.my http://cards.thestar.com.my http://search.thestar.com.my http://star-motoring.com http://star-space.com http://star-jobs.com http://star-ecentral.com http://star-techcentral.com Copyright C 1995-2004 Star Publications (Malaysia) Bhd.

Re: Jakarta Info
Bro Rainman,
When I used to go to Jkt for business, I always put in "tourist" on the disembarkation form. Is this still okay? I figured that since I always go sightseeing in the night spots, I am engaging in "tourist" activities

Re: Jakarta Info
hi Rainman,
No. I do not own Golden Crown. If I do, I am laughing myself to the bank.  However, I do know the MD that is running this place...old friend's friend who used to study in a local polytechnic here, then went back to Indonesia to work. At least I always get first hand info of when are the new fresh stocks coming...and VIP service of course.

Police on trail of crooks aiming at expats
Abdul Khalik, The Jakarta Post/Jakarta Responding to a recent string of robberies targeting foreigners, the Jakarta Police said on Friday that they had stepped up investigations into several crime syndicates in the Greater Jakarta area. City police spokesman Sr. Comr. I Ketut Untung Yoga Ana said police had managed to identify the syndicates based on clues collected during a series of investigations and were now hunting the gang members down. "They (the syndicates) target cars used by foreigners. They rob parked cars and have studied the habits of their targets before going into action. We have collected some information about their whereabouts," he told The Jakarta Post. Ketut said the robbers often placed nails on roads where foreigners usually passed. Police had information that several members of the syndicates were hiding in Palembang, South Sumatera, after conducting robberies in several areas in Greater Jakarta. Twelve robberies or thefts targeting foreigners occurred in the city in September, up from only five in August. The latest case was a robbery of an Australian couple in a car on Jl. Thamrin in Tangerang, Banten, on Tuesday afternoon. The cars tires burst and the couple and their driver had got out of the car to check the damage when the robbers stuck. Two men seen riding a motorcycle made off with Rp 500 million (US$49,858) of cash, jewelry and belongings, including a laptop, a cellular phone and several important documents, from inside the car when the tire was being fixed. Another Australian man lost his laptop, passport and credit cards after being robbed in front of the office of the Ministry of Youth Affairs on Jl. Gerbang Pemuda, Central Jakarta, on Sept. 26. Ketut called on foreigners to conduct precautionary measures when stopping or parking their cars. "If they can, they should stop at a busy place if they find they have a problem with their car. Always lock the car when checking it. Try also to choose different roads when going from home to the office to avoid being detected by robbers or thieves," he said. Police could not provide special security measures for foreigners, only for diplomatic staff, as they lacked the personnel, he said. Ketut said police were conducting regular patrols to monitor places prone to robberies.
