Back in 2003 when I moved to Bali, there seemed to be a police roadblock every few days. No big deal if your paperwork is in order, but some people have reason to sweat.

Tonight’s Bali news mentions another Australian, who has been caught ( or entrapped), by the Balinese police for drug possession. Michelle Dawn Condon, from Melbourne, was caught near the Poppies Lane area in Kuta, with a tiny amount of methamphetamine. Sounds like a set-up to me.

Who said there was no corruption in Indonesia and who said that the police are squeaky clean?. The President of Indonesia, SBY, has always said there was minimal corruption and what there was he intended to clean up. Bring on the big brooms!.
