   Political Stability 14.9?? That’s ridiculous. The risk the government is “destabilized or overthrown by unconstitutional or violent means” is pretty low. Anyway, I prepare Indonesia’s “instability” to Thailand’s, Myanmar’s, Malaysia’s stability (i.e. stable but highly undemocratic).

   Well the world bank got their ratings horribly wrong in 1996 – look what was just around the corner.

   In many ways, indonesia has never been in better shape for the future, mark my words!

   John,

   Oh really?

   While it is always never perfectly clear how statistics are deduced and even if the World Bank assay is to be taken with a pinch of salt, it would be more informative to say the least, why you mention that Indonesia has never been in better shape for the future.

   Let’s hope Indonesia can keep improving like it has in the past couple of years, ya? Inshallah – or maybe I should say mudah-mudahan instead.
