Agree with you re relationships in Asia JK, and the OX has been brilliant at it. Sometimes the relationship gets better with the red envelope, and especially in Indonesia and Thailand. It's interesting that the Minister for Mines rushed the approval through three days before he moved out of the portfolio. (I think t hat is what the article was hinting at). That will raise some eyebrows, given the way things work there, but I know Ox well enough to know it wouldn't happen.

Must say though, that they may have to adopt "facilitation" payments in Indonesia, or was that what the recent purchase of 10% by the government owned company was really all about?
