Aditya Suharmoko, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta Millions of Indonesians are now experiencing a new civic culture as being registered taxpayers, with some obvious confusion regarding the issuing of the tax forms. The March 31 deadline for the submission of the of the tax declaration form (SPT) is approaching, but a lot of taxpayers still have no idea on what to do with the SPT. "SPT?

I guess it's curtains for that half built airport now...

Personally I'm glad as it's the most beautiful unspoilt area which would be ruined by vulgar resorts. That's $600,000,000 the govt. has just pissed up the wall though, all coz they couldn't be arsed to do any actual work.

Great Headline but had to change it....

"I think it’s because the Ministry of Finance was worried about selling the land cheaply to Emaar" = "You're getting the land for a great price, so cough up the cigarette money for me and my associates" "Where in Indonesia do we not have the problem of corruption?" = "Fuck it. Everyone does it so let's not fix the problem and we can all line our pockets." Fucktards.

Congestion at Indonesia’s major ports, particularly Tanjung Priok in Jakarta, the country’s busiest, poses major obstacles to exporters and importers in attempting to get their goods quickly to the market.
