Tonight we take a break from TBI Cibubur to share another one of Luke Preece’s bombshell comments about TBI franchise owners. On several occasions he mentioned to either Cam or myself that the owner of TBI Bogor was heavily involved in organized crime. Preece, a 38 year old South Australian who is using forged documents…
Most Indonesian long-timers will be acquainted with ‘pete’, a kind of Indonesian string bean known for its surprisingly meaty flavour. Many Indonesians love it but they usually regard this unusual bean as a bit of guilty secret, because it is said that after you eat it you have horrendously bad breath for a while. “Bau…

We have addressed this issue indirectly in innumerable posts, but it is…
Can’t be bothered updating the blog with a detailed post this evening. But perhaps I will just take this opportunity to point out one more sign of the sloppiness and low standards which characterize the true nature of The Bullshit Institute. TBI Malang’s owner kicked TBI off the premises in December 2012 and re-opened under…
We have told what we know of the Eny story because we feel it has been insufficiently known until now. If Eny was as hot as people used to say when TBI Fatmawati boomed, why had she done markedly less well at Kuningan? If she was such a lionized example of business prowess, why had…

Comments: Cam: God they have themselves on, don’t they? Interviewer: Why do you say that? Cam: Ok, let me count the main reasons. 1) They don’t put any resources into their schools. 2) They…
