This attitude does not bode well for your visit

Tread carefully voicing comparison of Malaysian ways with those of Indonesia, at least doing so in country. Sister nations, sharing (well, more or less sharing) a language: but there are sensitivities !

Uber in Indonesia: I've met incredibly helpful drivers. Others had little clue but tried hard. Some were taciturn but got the job done. I always sit up front: I like to talk. The only negatives have been wait times, and the difficulties meeting up at CGK.

But I'm purely Uber X. Cars have been pretty ordinary saloons. I don't know about car makes and I'm not really interested - though i'd recognise a BMW if i fell into one
