I hope our Sheikh Cuk read this.

Yes, send them to Japan where they will get decent salary and treatment. Definitely not to Cuk’s Middle Eastern masters.

Matthew- would you like some- I have ample?

Yes- there is a lot of good news in Indonesia- also a lot of bad.
We are progressing- we must change our Javanese subdued tone- or else we are drowned out by the sonorous empty vessels such as those who host Olympics and Human Rights activistas

I will post as many good news stories as I can find.

I forgot- there is some academic argument to show Japan and Java have a shared history just now being discovered.
Japanese Aborigines and Ainu of Taiwan are Austronesians too
I saw a very interesting book but I have misplaced the link- I was hoping to order from Amazon.

From now on, I think I will ignore the stupid bigoted, chauvinistic, ignorant or racist blurts of some Sinophile Contributors about Indonesia.
From now on- only positive thoughts- positive results.

My point- Japan is a perfect example of what we Indonesians are capable of- we are probably the closest socially and culturally than to say the Chinese, Koreans or Vietnamese.

The potential undoubtedly exists- how to unleash it?

Noble intention, Purba. I wish you much success and let us hope that all of the idiotic moronic racistic blurts would stop.

As Ovary Winfrey says: “no-one wins the blame game”.

Why not bring the japanese old age here to indonesia. They can settle on some resort island, with golf/beach/swimming pool thrown in. Charge the japanese govenrment some yearly fee for the resort maintenance. This way, indonesian will be employed to build, manage and maintain the facility. The resort should be within an international airport such as Makassar/Manado/Bali/Aceh etc.

Sputajm- what a superlative idea.

So good- I may pinch it!

We have excellent organic produce, very nutritious, healthy yet tasty cuisine and the warmth would be good for their joints too.

Excellent idea Sputjam.

They are too busy enjoying themselves on the Gold Coast or Sydney to go to Indonesia. The only Japanese i’ve met there run the sweatshops in Tangerang. They already know where their bread is buttered.

Andy,
very strange- as most Japanese are very well-known for work in the highly-skiled financial and engineering sectors- I have many good friends at Mitsui Investment Bank.

Most Japanese live in South Jakarta- as there is a Japanese school here.
I know as I currently lease two houses to Japanese families near JIS (Jakarta International School).

Perhaps you’re confusing Chinese and Koreans with Japanese?

Any more negative comments or are you going to eat wifey’s superlative Chinese cuisine of “three jewels” soup or maybe some baby green turtle soup?

Anyone would think you suffer an inferiority complex, Andy.

You write: “Japan has been the largest Direct Foreign Investor in Indonesia and has worked tirelessly through actions to apologise for the many horrendous acts during the War.”

This now shades some light as to why I see more Indonesian students on Japanese Government scholarship in Japan.

I lived and worked in japan for ten years. I remember thinking how over-staffed hospitals were with nurses. Also, certain ethnic groups were taken advantage of in the workplace.

I really hope the nurses are treated with respect and equal rights.
