It is ironic that while this country is now strongly democratic, university campuses have been left behind. All around the nation, the selection of university presidents has led to government intervention.
The problem arises from the existing symbiosis and collusion between two people involved in higher education: prospective presidents and people carrying out the mandate of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education. As soon the opportunity presents itself to select the top official in campuses, ministers swoop in and use their rights.
Any company that reaps profits in a given country is obliged to pay taxes. Google Indonesia is no exception. According to the Jakarta tax agency's calculations, out of revenues it gets from advertising alone, the US-based internet giant owes the state Rp550 billion annually.
But Google Indonesia disagrees. It argues that so far, the company's business transactions for internet products and services are carried out by Google Asia based in Singapore. Established in 2011 through the foreign capital investment scheme, Google Indonesia is only a representative office. On this ground, Google Indonesia believes it is not liable to paying taxes here so it has refused to be audited by the tax office.
