A few weeks ago, Jokowi was present for the arrest of several high ranking civil servants at the transportation ministry accused of levying illegal fees for licensing requests. Visibly angry, the president said that such bureaucratic corruption must not be allowed to exist if Indonesian is to become a modern, economically competitive country.

Hmm...I wonder if there is a hotline like the above for tourist only (especially for people like me who don't understand Bahasa Indo or Malay). I mean since most who got extorted a lot were at most time tourist and its a no brainer that most tourists who visit a country do bring along a 'certain' sum of money where they have no where to hide.

Other than just heading for the Singapore Consulate (for Sillyporean) :

...what happen to other country's tourist? Hmm...I may be thinking too much,hehehe...

Just my thoughts.
