I didn't say they were perfect. I just have known people who have obtained work their legally.

I am not a "hater" as the kids say, if you have a high-school degree and you can manage to get a job, well then good for you. My comments about government requirements are how I think the government should operate and how I personally go about my recruitment.

If you know Indonesia, you know that the bureaucracy makes regulations so they have excuses to ask for bribes. The liberal Indonesian press is all hoping for a President who will cut red tape and create more transparency. It won't be easy.

I recall one case of a government department demanding the school I worked at get a lightning rod permit to continue operating. In the end they were willing to accept a "payment" in lieu of the lighting rod. Hard as it may be for some to hear, these regulations are just a request for a lightning rod that need never appear. All you need to do is make a payment instead of recruiting teachers with English degrees. It's really just a sham.

Yes...oh I see now..the next regulation to get a job as an English teacher is for your employer to ask you for a payment to secure the job....what is the old proverb "No money No honey......!
