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…

For the first month of Eny’s time as school manager, Lipi was also there. She ended up leaving Kuningan too, fed up by the lies which Eny and Luke had fed her, but in that 1 month she gave us a detailed report of what Eny’s new management style was going to be like, and…

We have avoided covering her complicity with the TBI Mafia until now, though it was mentioned in passing by the teacher testimonial of former Kuningan expat teacher “Lipi”. In her 5 part report on TBI Kuningan…

Have you ever heard of an ESL school, or any sane company for that matter, create rumors of a vigilante attack on an unpopular manager of their own school as a way of improving their image? Well, down right bizarre as this sounds, it is what has happened at TBI Fatmawati in recent weeks! So…
