OK now, just calculate these 12 years where I have been cheonging in Batam. In year 2000, I just paid Rp150K for booking of gal and now on average, most bros pay about Rp600K for booking base on this forum report. That means we are paying more than 300% in 10 year now. So the inflation of Batam does not match the raising cost on the services. I think it is really expensive in Batam by itself……..
Note : I might be wrong on the calculation or the way I think. All bros are welcome to give your valuable comments on the rising costs. Thanks

Bro, agreed with your calculation. Within a 12 years period, the cost of booking cewek increased from 150k to 600k which is a 300% increased in the price.
Singapore inflation is low at average 3%. But maybe in Batam is 8%. (give it the worst scenario). Therefore for 12 years, batam's inflation should be 8 x 12 = 96% (approximately 100%)
This figure suggests that it should be about 100% increased in price for the cost of booking cewek which is 150k + 150k =
300k rupiah maximum taken into account the inflation of 8% for 12 years period.
But booking joints are now
charging 500k-600k instead which does not match the inflation at all.
These joints in batam take advantages of the strong demand of cewek by singaporean/malaysian to push up their prices.
