We really need to get the Papuan coffee plantations into gear. Right now importers are desperate, and the opening of new ports & construction of roads are making logistic costs of shipping from Eastern Indonesia instead of Western Indonesia more worth it. Plus, Papua really needs to diversify...

Point of Order for @Bilal9 : While it is good that you are not apathetic to corruption in your country, I would like to ask you to not slander other countries using a decade old video as 'proof' to your frankly fully unrelated claims. I do not know how much Bangladesh has improved in a decade...

Indonesia needs to learn from the basics, the black tiger prototype so far is on track to fulfil all requested capabilities. Later we can use Black Tiger MK 2 to further upgrade it. We don't want development costs and time to balloon into a horrible monstrosity like the Arjun tank

This is great, in PNG and Oceania they celebrate that Australia would 'gift' them noble connections. In Indonesia we produce it ourselves. Perhaps still a foreign company, but they operate with Indonesian manpower, under Indonesian laws, and cooperate with Indonesian companies. __________ BI...

https://tapalbatas.detik.com A good source for the future. The border region is going to be interesting in the years to come.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying.

I think at the time it was a 'morals' campaign. So if a local get into a relationship with a westerner, she's a harlot who's throwing away her culture, so she gets punished and the westerner gets deported for 'civilian subversion'. It didn't just apply to 'random strangers'

http://qr.ae/TUpnsv Why is West Papua more advanced and developed than PNG or any Melanesian countries? Wirawan Winarto, has visited 58 countries and all 34 Indonesian provinces Answered Jul 20, 2017 Thanks for the A2A, Fachat Maulana! Contrary to popular belief and what Western trying...

Nah, you're sharing constructive criticism, nothing wrong with that. It's something very rare in this forum, since it mostly caters to nationalists that want to discuss their military toys and show them off to one another. At least at first, it all started from the Pakistan DEFENCE forum after...

While the large difference between the number of passengers is somewhat telling, I'd think this is still a huge achievement for Indonesia. After all, we have numerous smaller 'international' airports (I'd guess Surabaya is probably the 3rd busiest nationally after Jakarta & Bali), but they...

Tell us more! I doubt I'd ever use it, but if you've rode on it before why not write a quick review about it. It'll be appreciated by anyone who needs to travel around Indonesia. ______________________________ Can't believe I just found the PUPR youtube page now. It's surprisingly competent...

This is great news! As of 2017, Indonesia is ran a 699.1 million USD trade surplus with Malaysia, the fact that malaysian are also spending their hard-earned cash in Indonesian hotels and businesses means that it will help to improve our economy, and fund jobs for Indonesians. A tourism growth...

Gonna use this thread to share interesting lectures and talks related to Indonesia. ^ A well nuanced and witty take on the nature of corruption in Indonesia and how it relates to Indonesian governance, culture, and the big family (keluarga besar) mentality. Includes gems like a western...

Look what I found: Black Tiger Specifications: Might actually be the reverse! Maybe another reason Modi suddenly so Gung-ho and willing to pay to build port in Sabang Island! :woot: Like 35 ton easily 40 if you add some extra armour on it (maybe cause overweight problem, but still...

Yeah, I looked it up after posting the question. Good lord! It only looks good doesn't it? 35 years in development, 2/3rds of them broken after 2 years, best parts 'to be developed domestically' and perpetually 'pending'. I have a new respect for PINDAD and their Turkish partner now. Black...

At least for Amazon, I think I can draw a comparison with Indonesian challenges with e-commerce giants: Tl, dr: E-Commerce is perhaps the new version of how a Mega-corp Supermarket kills the traditional markets and kiosks around it. Yes: Ultimately, through economies of scale and supply...

Is... is it really that bad? I mean the Arjun 1 looked like a knockoff of Leopard 1, and the new Arjun Mk2 on paper seems somewhere in between a T90 and a Leopard Mk2. Not cutting edge tech for sure and will get kicked around by western tanks but not the worst you could ask for.

I usually attempt to avoid Jakarta Post editorials, they tend to forcefully interpret Indonesian issues through the lens of western liberalism. While definitely still factual, their biases can be a bit thick at times. That said, here's a take on the same issue by SCMP, a newspaper based in...
