Why? Nothing has changed... it's always like that
I think it's much worse now (~ last 5-10 years) than before? E.g., the continuing Jakarta International School (JIS) scandal; FPI evolving from low-level thuggery to becoming a national political force feared by even the country's president; the increasing radicalization of Islam and conservativeness in the country (including a national ban on alcohol now being proposed) -- etc.

In the JIS scandal, the teachers were acquitted by the High Court, released, and then re-convicted (just two days later!) by the Supreme Court. They have no concept of "double jeopardy". Even though you've been cleared, there's always that chance that the Indonesian authorities could change their minds at any time and arrest you again with no explanation.

Oh, and by the way, how are those conscientious executives getting on, just now? Still unemployed? That would be previous chief executive Albert Burhan and previous operations director Hadinoto Soedigno, after they both resigned on 30 December.
This was discussed a bit earlier... the resignations must be accepted (or rejected) by the Citilink board of directors. An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders must held within 30 days of the resignation date, so by the end of January. Until then Albert Burhan remains CEO.

No doubt there are many execs within Citilink and the larger Garuda group eager to replace Mr. Burhan, and they're all jockeying into position and making their cases behind the scenes. Also Citilink is in reality majority owned by the government so there will be political considerations as well in determining whether or not Mr. Burhan gets to stay.
