I don't answer questions containing presumptuous inferences. Ok? Ha ha... threats? You're a sensitive little thing. With a big dose of naivety. As another poster was fond of saying expats such as yourself ebb and flow like the tide. Especially those with a habit of slagging off Indonesia. We...

Posting your photo on the net and making derogatory comments about my country is not exactly clever. If you know what I mean?

ciao pappagallo Read lumumba's post again and you will see the threat. I don't think your English comprehension is anywhere near as good as you like to think it is. Another temporary expat. If you know what I mean?

lumumba I think you should excuse yourself from this debate. I really think you are too stupid to participate.

Who has a chip on their shoulder? :lol:

Disrespectful, rude, racist, intolerant, threatening and just plain wrong. A perfect example of what I am talking about.

I believe it is 5 consecutive years. And good on you for wanting to become an Indonesian citizen! :D

Rubbish there are already a long list of rules on this forum. This new rule should be at the top of the list especially on a so called expat site whose members should know better. The "thought police"? Also rubbish. Think what you like just don't offend others by putting obnoxious ideas into words.

Expand the code of conduct to prohibit racist and bigotted remarks. Remarks like "Indonesians don't understand x, y or z" are clearly racist because they define a whole population as having the same failing. Those promoting this type of thinking on this forum are bigots because they stick to...

Yes you wouldn't want to lose your pension would you? :lol:

That is not a standard for the way a helmet is made - it is a generic quality management standard. These standards are not recognised in Indonesia. A typical imperious attitude. It does make sense. The indonesian standard does not allow half-face helmets which are inherently inferior to...

If you don't pay the registration you are not insured for third party claims. Go ahead and become an Indonesian citizen. Most won't because any sign of trouble, illness or legal difficulty they will run back to their home country.

If you want a say, unasked, about how Indoensia is governed, become an Indonesian citizen. When you are a guest of Indonesia and if asked it would be polite at the very least to make constructive criticisms, not the sort of disrepectful and disparaging remarks that are all too common on this...

Yes. If you want a say, unasked, about how the country is run you should become an Indonesian citizen. Say goodbye to your pension. Where is here? Indonesia is a huge archipelago. The laws are enforced but there is also no point prosecuting people who have no capacity to pay. There has to a...

I see so things cannot occur in parallel? One part of the system has to be next to perfect before another part can be acted on? So that means the road safety laws in Australia are a waste of time because thousands are charged every year for drink-driving, driving without a licence, driving...

Expats are guests in the country and unless otherwise asked should keep quiet imo. After all if they continually go on and on about how their own country is better, while they themselves are making no meaningful contribution to Indonesia, the question will invariably arise "well why don't you...

No need. Since April 2009 the onus is on the manufacturers and importers to have their products certified. Once the current batch of non-complying helmets have passed through the system there won't be a legal supply of non-complying helmets. I do apologise. English is my third language after...

There is no international standard for helmets. The SNI standard applies to imported helmets also. Acrylic paint is fine for use on helmets. Any modification to a helmet that renders the helmet unsafe makes the wearer liable to a fine. Enforcement is gradually being increased. Too fast for...

It would probably be a total surprise to you to learn that a helmet that cracks when bashed with a hammer would not necessarily fail the ISO impact test. In fact motorcycle helmets are design to fracture on impact. Indeed a helmet that cracks will probably transfer less g-force to the wearers...

That implies the victim became symptomatic 3-4 months after being bitten.
