This nation has been in the reform era for several years now, but some things remain stuck in the New Order. When will the exit tax (now at Rp1,000,000) be eliminated? Why must Indonesians be blackmailed all the time? Just imagine the cost of one family (mother, father and two kids) has to pay (Rp4,000,000) before they can go overseas.

Even though Indonesia seems to be the only country using this system no one seems to care.
