Indonesian State Owned Companies Ways of Doing Business

This is my deduction on Indonesian Companies' best practices to lift up their profit

First Phase : Making Crappy Products

Pertamina/State Gas Company, makes failures on the gas regulator and pipe, making it easy to explode.
Palyja/PAM, makes the colorful water tap, well if you like colorful life, you definitely like this
State Owned Electric Company (PLN), makes unreliable electricity, making many failures on electrical goods

All of these condition makes people furious. Therefore, they must react, after numerous accident and fatalities.

Second Phase : Doing what-they-called-research

Pertamina, examine the gas problem and assume that the problem is in the regulator
Palyja, examine that the problem is in the technological in capabilities to make healthy water
PLN, examine and report that the problem is in the supplies of the fuel as well as aging transmitter and transformer

All of these research leads to the People's Assembly, well you can't enact policy without their permission, as well as bribery.

Third Phase : The policy

Gas regulator must have national standard certificate
Palyja, water can be privatized with the multinational companies
PLN, permission to raise tariff and appointment of a new promising candidate

Forth Phase : Miracullous victories of making crappy products

Gas regulators as well as the gas hose/pipe must be distributed by Pertamina to ensure genuineness (again they manage to get extra income, with monopoly)
Palyja, can raise tariffs without permission from anyone... and now water tap tariffs in Jakarta is expensive... astonishingly they manage to preserve their "good" quality with the higher price
PLN, now they raise their tariffs and they will develop a device that will enable them to detect exploded trafo earlier <= stupid.

The best part is, the customer doesn't realize the aftermath of the policy after alooonggg time >:)... I conclude that even tough Keynes had predicted that in the year 2000's the productivity will be so high so we only need to work in short hour to fulfill all our needs, the capitalist-beaurocrat is doing their best to prevent it...

That's why I, must humbly admit that our government is genius...  they can beat the prediction of the best Economic Scholar in his era...
