There's no such thing as a free lunch...Or is there?

It's official. The next president of Indonesia is former army general Prabowo Subianto. Quite how the next five years will pan out is anyone's guess but hopefully the foreign pundits who always bring up his dodgy human rights record will be proven wrong. Nonetheless, on policy making, Prabowo's popularist move to literally offer the poor 'a free lunch' every day of the week does not augur well for the future. Such a policy - if it ever came to fruition - would cost a phenomenal amount of money and likely lead to huge inefficiencies (food waste) and poor incentives (make people lazy). Another concern is Prabowo's strong nationalist bent. Thus, in the possible event that he finds himself with his back against the proverbial wall in the face of stern economic challenges, there is a big chance that he will simply scapegoat foreigners. But he will have to be careful. Construction of the new capital city, Nusantara, for example, is highly dependent on foreign in

Jennifer Kurniawan: WAG Indonesia Numero Uno

WAGs is an English acronym used to describe the wives and girlfriends of high-profile football players.

The term came into common usage during England’s farcical set-up in the 2006 FIFA World Cup when the inability of the England players to focus on the tournament was blamed on the outrageous exploits of the WAGS who went around in “barely there” clothing and who generally just made a terrible nuisance of themselves.

High profile WAGS of that year included Victoria Beckham, otherwise known as the "Queen of the Wags" or “the Original Wag"; Cheryl Cole, an ultra sexy pop singer; the rather more stolid Coleen Rooney, aka "the Chavette"; the ultra hot Abbey Clancy, who probably made England’s beanpole striker Peter Crouch think he was the luckiest man alive; and the then fiancĂ©e of Frank Lampard, former Spanish waitress Elen Rives, who surely gave fortuitous Frank “Grade A” service in every respect.

Here in Indonesia, the WAGs phenomenon is still at an early stage as footballers’ salaries have only recently started to take off and are still far behind the astronomical pay packets that the top footballers in Europe can expect to receive.

By far the most famous WAG is Indonesia is Jennifer Kurniawan, a smoking hot model of mixed Asian and European heritage, who is the “off the pitch” distraction for Irfan Bachdim, a recently naturalized Indonesian who has attracted a legion of gawking female fans won over by his youthful good looks.

Anyway, I don't have any pics of Irfan. But here's Jennifer :)
