Ridwan Sijabat, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
so, pak ridwan, how much did you get to plant this story? things are tough at the JakPost these days, aren't they ... pickings are thin.
London-based HSBC Group, which are in the process of acquiring a majority stake in publicly listed Bank Ekonomi Raharja, has illegally employed expatriates, raising unrest among the bank’s local employees, according to sources.
really? why would the natives be restless, pak ridwan? would these be the fat lazy corrupt shitheads who are going to get the chop?
The recent legal complaint submitted by the bank’s laborer community to the Manpower and Transmigration Ministry and Bank Indonesia, with copies made available to The Jakarta Post on Monday, revealed HBSC Indonesia had employed at least 13 expatriates who had no official permit to work and stay in the country.
labourer community? wtf is that?!
“The 13 expatriates occupy strategic positions, including the human resources manager post,” a bank employee asking for anonymity told the Post when asked to confirm the complaint Tuesday.
so things have been put under tight control. is that the problem? no more siphoning off funds; no more kick-backs for approving dodgy loans.
The director of labor norms supervision at the Manpower and Transmigration Ministry, Mudji Handojo, said that three expatriates who occupied director positions at the bank had been deported because they had used the three-month business visa to enter and work in the country.
3-month business visa?! sorry, ain't no such thing!
