Foreigners are humbler

Silvya Sucipto's letter in The Jakarta Post, Dec. 13 about
foreigners owning property, states that "foreigners living in
luxury in Indonesia would create more jealousy, resentment ...
riots ... terrorism" is painting a very negative picture about
this subject.

I do not see the effects that she is describing. I think
jealousy is created more by those super rich Indonesians who have
ten cars, five houses and three wives, and who treat their maids
like inferior subjects.

Foreigners, in general, are more humble and satisfied
with one house, one car and one wife.
