Forum: Regulating office hours

Thu, 09/18/2008 10:30 AM | Reader's Forum

We should respect any ideas, including the office hours regulation, to reduce traffic jams, even though this idea seems too idealistic.

The problem is, could we manage and determine when the exact time each person would come out. Our people do not only consist of private sector employees and civil servants but also students, housewives, drivers etc.

So, how can we manage housewives to not go out from their houses or how can we require students to not walk around after finishing school. Should we forbid them? It is too impossible. The administration cannot ban or forbid any person's private activities.

Latest BI scandal -- Sept. 9, p. 1

If you are serious about ending corruption, then create an effective tax department. It must be above suspicion with its own internal self investigative police.

It must conduct due diligence audits. It must have the authority to arrest with no exception and confiscate possessions. For example, if you cannot prove that you legally earned your bank account funds (or your immediate family's) or your new house or Mercedes, they are immediately confiscated (you are guilty, until you prove your innocence).

It must have its own prosecutors and courts, totally inviolable, independent of the normal legal system.

Transportation infrastructure -- Sept. 9, p. 7

Very interesting article. I hope the bureaucrats read this and do something real to improve the infrastructure in Indonesia.

When the Dutch left Indonesia there was a railway of 8000 kilometers throughout Indonesia. At the moment there is less than 4000 km in use. What a pity because the railway system could help to avoid many traffic jams and is usually a safe and fast way of transportation.
