For every foreign worker employed a business has to have 10 local workers.
Drugs are made by Indonesians in prisons and supported by corrupt Indonesian officials or grown in fields that officials in the areas are associated with. Drugs are not the big bad bully causing Indonesia's destruction. Indonesia's corrupt institutions are.
Creating pubs is a small segment of Indonesia's cities. If Indonesians want to go to them they are making their own decisions to. There is no one standing outside making them enter.
If you are saying Indonesians are not capable of making decisions then you need to look at the factors like education and politics to figure out why.
Prostitution is created, controlled, and used by Indonesians. While there may be a very small number of foreigners that use sex workers, the number would not indicate anything. Foreigners do not need the prostitutes. Indonesian women seem to flock to them all by themselves.
I can see where you feel foreigners talk trash about Indonesia but the fact is, you can't handle the truth.
