Hi friends,

I just want to share these two links with you. One is from a TED talk that talks about the rise of China (and about the growing influence of developing countries such as India and Indonesia). The other one is a BBC article that talks exclusively about Indonesia and the huge investment and development opportunities in Indonesia. Sadly, it also mentions that the biggest hurdle for investment in Indonesia is the culture of corruption. Sadly enough, we as Indonesians have become adapted to this corrupt culture and accept it as the norm of life. Something to think about, I guess.

Hi Pribowo,
Thanks for the sharing and your concern about our country. I think it needs great effort to change and let us make the corrupt culture not growing in our country.
