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 Businessweek.
The
Businessweek report ranked emerging markets that might
be challenging to move into due to their level of pollution, disease, political
violence and availability of good and services.
The
report ranked Jakarta second, just below lagos in Nageria and above Riyadh
Saudi Arabia, saying the threat of violence from extremest, 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.
Smoking Good for Us?
Before
we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousands
people die every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven
times as many as die in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because
of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety
percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a
day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker. If
we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five
percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers
are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non smokers.
Additionally,
children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one
hour in smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as
if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking
is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from
smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for every body else.
