Yes bro agreed. Many of my Jkt office colleagues coming out on 9 July. Prabowo is Anti Chinese. Really hope Jokowi will win. Else GG

Do so after The Holy Month

Thank you Pak…for your advice.

Sigh…..decade long habits are so hard to break….. and every little development in Chang Ping, a li’l plea by one or another of my regulars to come up, a clarion call by some of my friends to try to relive the old glory days …..whatever ….. gets me right back up on the train to CP!! Sigh…!!

In that sense, it’s a real bitch that CP HAD fulfilled all my requirements – especially that I can just go at the drop of a hat and be 100% assured that I’d be having a good time. New destinations? Some too far, some too expensive, some too inconvenient to get around at i.e. language, crime, scams, and worse of all, the quality of the gal as per MY own taste for pure skinned, pleasant SYT’s!!

And that piece written by newyorker88 about Batam being more suited for “Uncles” – that really opened my eyes wide that Batam is probably not all that suited to make it as my next primary mongering destination.

Also, it’s this having to make all sorts of pre-preparations to go somewhere else that I never needed to do for Chang Ping that time and again kills off my desires to try elsewhere; perhaps I’ll go back to my old (YEARS OLD!!) stomping grounds Phuket and Manila first, as at least I am still quite familiar with the way things should be. But I fear I’ll never be able to find another suitable destination; maybe I should just retire from mongering… SIGH!!!!!

Sounds like you prefer SYTs..

Not that batam don't have, just a preference. In my years of cheonging, Jakarta has the top notch in Indonesia. SYT to higher class. Of cos, the prices are expensive too.

Batam is more of a get away for a lot of Singaporeans, and others, who wish to have a short getaway, and relative cheap fun too. Not a bad place for ah peks, and those who want to have cheap thrills of being a kind and good food.

Get all your friends to vote. Every vote counts. Yes, I still remember the riots of 98. Fortunately, Batam is safe. But you should have seen the news and pictures.

"During the riot in May in Indonesia, 1188 people were killed or raped to death. 4083 shops were burned down to earth. 1020 houses were burned or destroyed. More than 100 women in age from 10 to 55 were raped."

Account of Rape Victim in riots in Indonesia - May 1998

"My name is Vivian, and I am 18 years old. I have a little sister and brother. As a family we live in what is supposed to be a "secure" apartment.
At 9.15 am, May 14th, 1998 a huge crowd had gathered around our apartment. They screamed, "Let's butcher the Chinese!", "Let's eat pigs!", "Let's have a party!" We live of the 7th floor and we got a call from a family on the 3rd floor saying that the crowd had reached the 2nd floor. They even chased some occupants upstairs. We were all very frightened. In our fright we prayed and left everything in God's hands.
Afterward we left our room and went upstairs to the top floor, as it was impossible to go downstairs and escape. We got to the 15th floor and stayed with some friends. Not long afterwards we were surprised because some of the crowd coming out of the elevators right before we entered the room. We hurried into the room and locked the door tightly. At that time we heard them knock at the other rooms loudly and there were some screams from women and girls. Our room was filled with fear.

We realized that they would come to us. So we spread throughout the room hiding in the corners. We could hear girls of 10 to 12 years old screaming, "Mommy, ..mommy...mom...mom...it hurts" That time I didn't know that these little girls were being raped. After about half an hour the noise diminished and we had some guts to go out and check. It was indescribable. A lot, some of them young girls, were lying on the floor. "Oh my God, what has happened?" Seeing all of this we screamed and my little sister Fenny, screamed hysterically and hugged her father.
Uncle Dodi kept trying to stop them by offering money. His efforts were fruitless. And in the end 5 people raped Fenny. Before beginning with the raping they always said "Allahu Akbar" (an Islamic phrase in Arabic meaning "God is great". They were ferocious and brutal.
Not long afterward, around 9 men came to the room and dragged me. I also saw them forcing and dragging my Aunt Vera. But at that time I passed out and everything went blank. I became conscious at around 5 or 6 PM. My head hurted and I realized I had no clothing on my body. I cried and realized my family was still there. My father was hugging my mother and little bother Doni. I also saw uncle Dodi lying on the floor and Aunt Vera was crying over his body. I felt so weak and fainted again.
The next day I was in the Pluit hospital. My father and mother were beside me. With all the pains on my body I asked, "Mom, why Fenny. Mom?" I felt a stinging pain as I said these words. My cheeks were swollen. My mother cried again and couldn't speak any words, while my father, holding back his tears, managed to smile at me. After 4 days in treatment, my condition has improved. With a sad look, my father told me then what had happened. After I fainted 7 people raped me. At that time my father still couldn't see well after being hit with a piece of wood. They raped me repeatedly. Then my father said "Vivian, Fenny is gone..."
I was confused and cried out, "Why Dad?" My father couldn't answer. He told me to rest and went out of the room. I cried over and over again, feeling that my life had no meaning any more. A week ago, after I was released from the hospital I was told everything that had happened.
When Fenny was raped she kept on fighting and so she was repeatedly slapped by her rapists. The last time she fought Fenny spitted on one of them. Offended, the man grabbed a knife and stabbed Fenny's stomach over and over again. Finally she died with blood over her whole body.
My father told me that uncle Dodi had the same fate watched by aunt Vera who was also raped. "God...why should all of this happen? Where are you God? Are you still alive?" My aunt Vera now stays with her parents. She is in shock. Her face is blank and refuses to eat. Almost every hour my mother and I cry over all these happenings. I can never forget.

Yea, we're for Jokowi ( whole office). I saw the pics, was a kid then but I know many very affected. You can find young girls who have been raped just left on the streets to die. Real sad.

Then why the hell u doing business in Indonesia?

Get the shit out and invest elsewhere. Why bite the hand that feeds you? Bloody hypocrite sinkie!

[localbest]

In indonesia, although the chinese made up of less than 3% of the population but is controlling about 70% of the economy. During the 1998 riots, the chinese in indonesia especially in jarkarta suffered the most.

My indonesian friend from jakarta relate some of the very scary incident that had happened to the chinese indonesian. Once there was some chinese girls taking a bus and the hooligans men just ordered all the javanese girls to get down the bus and then after that they gang rape the poor chinese girls in the buses - very sad story...

Another incident is about some hooligan get into the house of the chinese family and threaten the chinese son and mother to have sex and also threaten the chinese daughter and father to have sex while they watch the show - very scary...

At that time most of the indonesian chinese went overseas to avoid the riot.

President jookowi, I hope, by today.


Do a good job, as you have done. All those I know are voting for you. Chinese are rooting for you. As for my workers, it is their right.


Don't care what others say, Indonesia is still a good place to do business. Be careful of what your opponent did to smear you.. As you can see for yourself, how he runs the campaign, is no difference to what was rumoured of what he did in 1998. In fact, it reaffirmed the stories of his ambition to be the president at no matter what cost.

He wanted to get rid of his father in law n habibie as well. Please do be more careful, as he is still a very rich man, with a lot of powers at his disposal. Your trip to mecca is a good move and disproved his lies.

All the best Mr President( by end of the day)

Why are u such a hypocrite? U know if Joko win, 1st he will do is to clean up those flesh business. Dolly been done. Next is Batam. So u want to see all your cina friends come here to kpkb when batam joints close for good?

Next u claimed to be a businessman. I ask u how much u paid your poor javanese workers? Peesai right? Since u pity your cina indon, why dont u employ them instead?
