Mandala was founded in 1969 by a foundation linked to the Indonesian armed forces. Not wanting to put too fine a point on it, but such ownership often suggests that a company could, if it wanted, operate without having to endure much interference from civilian authorities.
Doesn't count much nowadays... Being a 100% civilian with enough brown envelopes you can get away with a lot more sins than Mandala.
13 PAX got out
Only 6 survived as I write this according the latest. The rest succumbed before today's daybreak.
