Did Binsar mastermind the attack on D***? Were the cowardly and vicious thugs who surrounded a woman, beat her with canes and then withdrew the paid henchmen of BInsar Simorangkir? As the guest poster concluded: who knows? But the fact is that the possibility was discussed and considered, which is remarkable enough in itself. The…
Shortly after D**** had said she had enough, Binsar offered her part time work. She declined saying she didn’t want to be there anymore and had found something better. (She hadn’t found a new job really, but she had had enough of Binsar after he grabbed and bruised her.) Just after this she decided to…
We said yesterday that Nunu had a very poor first month as manager of TBI Kelapa Gading. Two expats came and left within a single month, the schedule was a shambles, the former ACTEL distanced herself from the school, refusing to do any more classes, and students were even left without a teacher at times…
Below is a screen dump which shows Luke Preece lavishing praise on Cameron’s efforts at “bringing MK back to life” after the bad old days of Wati. As much as he tells new teachers today how terrible he was, before we started a blog exposing TBI corruption, Luke had a completely different impression of his…
Before we look at Nunu’s dismal performance in the role of school manager, let’s just look at the number of TBI procedures and policies that Ashley and Mariam broke in appointing Nunu. 1) Nunu had no CELTA or any TEFL certificate at all. They broke their own policies in appointing him. 2) Nunu had no…
Ashley Platts directly intervened at TBI Kelapa Gading just as he did at TBI Bogor, arguing that expat managers were too expensive and that I ought to be replaced by an Indonesian. (By late 2011 I was the last expat franchise school manager in the entire company. According to Platts, it was such an outrage…
I resigned as manager of TBI Kelapa Gading on February 29th, 2012, after a week in which the owners had lied to me many times and back-flipped on half a dozen promises (especially about making TBI Kelapa Gading finances more transparent). This was the culmination of a long struggle to get them to “go straight” and register…
Over the next few days we will explore TBI’s broken franchise system in relation to TBI Kelapa Gading, which is now on its third school manager in the past 18 months. We can confirm that Nugraha Pratama (usually known as Nunu) has been removed from the school after a year of dismal failure in…
How did you find the TBI Bekasi victims when you spoke to them? Let’s talk about the first two who I spoke to. I found them both very switched on, especially in terms of what TBI and the Indonesian ruling classes were really like. One of them was very well-informed abut THR and had done…
Before I continue with the rest of my tale I would like to say something. It is now clearly known to the readers of this blog that Binsar Simorangkir is a man without morals, is very strict with money, and doesn’t consider the lives of other people to be of any importance to him. It…
