Can you explain the circumstances in which Wati appeared as school manager of TBI Kuningan?

Was Ashley’s booby, Chris Needham, promoted multiple times so as to fail, thereby advancing Ashley’s real agenda? What did both Chris Needham and Luke Preece tell you was Ashley Platt’s ultimate goal in TBI? Ashley was…
In this part of the interview we investigate the glaring contradiction between Ashley Platts’s goal of getting rid of all expat managers besides himself and Luke and his tireless promotion of Chris Needham through the ranks of TBI. It has only recently occurred to us that Ashley’s useless protégé, Chris Needham, was never intended to succeed. Could…
