Jakarta as a Bad Working Place for Expatriates

Jakarta is the second-worst place for expatriates to work in outside of the United States of America, Canada and Western Europe. It is according to a recent report published by Business week.
The Business week report ranked emerging markets that might be challenging to move into due to their level of pollution, disease, political violence and availability of goods and services.
The report ranked Jakarta second, just below Lagos in Nigeria and above Riyadh Saudi Arabia, saying the threat of violence from extremist, in particular, was serious drawback to living in Jakarta. Bombings targeting foreign interests in Jakarta, such as the JW Marriot hotel bombing in 2003, have been repeated elsewhere in the city.
The report said despite problem common to many developing cities such as the risk of disease, poor sanitation, and excessive pollution, Indonesia can be an enticing location.
In response, the Jakarta administration took the report positively, saying it could spur the administration to improve its performance.
