‘Nothing?’ Poor Jakarta Councillors, On US$6K Per Month?
I’ve never attended a meeting of Jakarta City Council, so I cannot say whether or not the it’s fair that its elected members have been criticised for their ‘sluggish performance.’

However, having among my circle of friends here numerous ordinary Jakarta citizens, I am qualified to say that their wages are very low and do not permit them to enjoy many – if any – luxuries.
Jakarta councillors, in contrast, get to go on lots of nice trips, at least one of which we’ve reported on in the past.

I’ll bet too that none of them live in the humble dwellings that many ordinary Jakartans inhabit.
