in the koran it says to help those in need but not anymore .......................
Residents in one Indonesian city who give in to the tug of guilt could face three months in jail under a law which criminalises giving money to beggars and street children, the city's mayor said.
The new regulation approved last month by the legislative council in Makassar, South Sulawesi, is aimed at reducing the city's swelling population of beggars, Mayor Ilham Arif Sirajuddin said.
"Under the law, people who give money to beggars will be jailed up to three months or have to pay a maximum fine of 1.5 million rupiah ($169.40)," he said.
"This is an important decision to clear beggars from the streets," Mr Sirajuddin said, adding that beggars and street children face maximum sentences of three years in jail or fines up to five million rupiah.

After the Asian Crisis of about '98 I was talking to some expats in Semarang who had set up in the local shopping mall a collection for the local children and families who had been badly effected. The local police - realising the generosity of the people insisted on 'auditing' the collection and promptly half the money was 'reallocated' - not to be out done the military audited the remaining money. I was told there was f**k all left to distribute to the needy.
Lovely country, great people; corrupt as f**k.
Average by Intention.

I must be so s**t to be working like a c**t for a charity and then all your efforts go to the hands of some corrupt official. It is a few notches above been robbed.

There's an advert running on Bloomberg at the moment:
"With over 240,000 people, Indonesia is S.E.Asia's largest country. Committed to rule of law, Indonesia is building an open, vibrant business environment. Blah blah. Make your next international investment in Indonesia!"
I have my doubts.
One country, no f*cking system.
