* Weak law enforcement: Crime and corruption have become flagrant
and widespread, with the government seen to be doing little or
nothing to fight the problem.

* Corrupt judiciary: The source of legal controversies like the
bankruptcy case involving PT Manulife Asuransi Jiwa Indonesia,
and several high-profile trials.

* Confusing polices: Ministers issue contradictory statements
leading to controversy over the import of chicken legs, the debt
settlement plan and the ban on sand exports to Singapore.

* The International Monetary Fund (IMF): There is no common voice
within the government on the need for the IMF. Although the
official stand is to maintain relations with the IMF, at least
one minister has questioned its presence.

* Illegal workers: The poor handling of returning illegal workers
from Malaysia has underpinned criticism of a lack of coordination
between ministers.

* Treasure hunt: Critics say a minister initiating a treasure
hunt that endangered a protected historic site was unprofessional
and an embarrassment to the Cabinet.

* Haze: Inadequate preparation to prevent the outbreak of choking
smoke across Kalimantan and Sumatra point towards more poor
coordination.
