*add India on the list :angel:

The other side of this question. If there's no US, will no other big countries interfere with smaller countries? Yesterday (Imperial Japan, British, USSR and Nazi German) and today (Russia, India and China) already prove they will and want to interfere.

Innovative yes, but without the backing of US, either USSR/Nazi will win the WW2. If Nazi win in long term all of us Asian will be 2'nd caste in Nazi polar world, if USSR win, European will be under their thumb, considering how 'advanced' USSR dominate country in everyday technology, i doubt...

In rupiah term we have growth, but the wikipedia use USD. With Rupiah fall from 9k/USD to 11.3k/USD, that's going to affect our total GDP in USD.

Comparing Indonesia and Malaysia like comparing apple and orange. Malaysia got their independence in silver platter while Indonesia must fight for their independence, pay for Dutch debt, after that fighting against rebellion + against Dutch once more for Papua.

IF you guys talking about the success of multi ethnic vs single ethnic/religion country, Turkey can be considered as multi ethnic while Malaysia can be count as multi ethnic and multi religion country compare to Bangladesh.

Imo it's not 100% sure, after all its still depend on the project if its going to be profitable or not. Remember it cost on average 65k for using Panama Canal and 100-150k for Suez, but the saving is huge while Malacca strait only 1000 km long.

Singapore and Malaysia, yes. But it won't have any big negative effect for Indonesia, if anything it's going to raise Indonesia bargaining power against Singapore. Singapore big international seaport going to act as hub for Indonesia, Australia only after the canal build.

You can. The only problem here is Australia don't want to accept the refugee, the most logical solution withdraws from UN refugee convention or teach your judge to refuse all refuge. Australia already did that, we simply execute or imprison them. No drama needed.

Using another forum poster as a valid souce? :cheesy: I seriously doubt this......

Ironically, it's the Australian government who sign the convention, Australian judge who admits them as refugees and letting them enter, Australian welfare who entices them to pick Australia as destination but somehow it's all Indonesian fault.......... So many things that Australia can do to...

Doubtful any of Indonesia administration really care about tourism. At best only certain province like Bali who really care to develop tourism with all the necessity infrastructure, environment and attitude. Several notable areas like Jogjakarta, Raja Ampat, Lombok etc show some effort but still...

Any link of actual evidence? Remember there's a huge difference between Indonesia government doesn't care with actually aiding (giving boat, fuel, etc). As developing country, there's plenty of problems that the government need to tackle, poverty, flood, basic water/electricity access...

AFAIK Indonesia never aiding illegal people smugglers.

I doubt Min Nan language can hold for long against mandarin in Taiwan. When i travel there last year, It's rare to heard anyone speaking Min Nan language in Taipei, quite different compare to how pervasive Cantonese language in HK/Guangdong.

A huge hypocrite article, what is the purpose of doing that? If you want to donate to someone do it quietly. No need to brag in front of your friend. Next article : When you sleep at your own house, do you think of the homeless? Sell your house and proceed to donate the money and rent another...

I agree it rather useless to speculate too much. Still the current indicator is not good, 1 month after the deal, Thai rice keep getting cheaper, its equal to Vietnam rice price now which usually priced lower than Thai rice. Also with Yingluck recent popularity, i seriously doubt that Yingluck...

But the market won't buy Thailand rice at their 'special price'. Also Thailand won't sell their rice at huge loss openly. That's why they have huge pile of rice in warehouse (10-17million tones). Imo more possible scenario is Thailand sell at loss to China, but because it's G to G they don't...

How can it change the whole game? Will China give the Thai rice the same valued with Yingluck buy price from the peasant (China giving subsidy Thailand) or according the international market (Thai sell at loss)? Beside from what i read there's still plenty more in warehouse that Thai can't...

Soeharto fancy some home made Egg tart / dàntà and the closest source is East Timor :unsure:
