According to the dictionary, “conundrum” can mean two things: “a question asked for amusement, typically one with a pun in its answer; a riddle” or, “a confusing and difficult problem or question”.
Indonesia, I think, is a conundrum country par excellence, ranging from the weird (having sex in graveyards for spiritual and material gain), ironic (hardliners shouting “God is Great” while bashing people), funny (wearing woolly hats in the scorching sun), to the frustrating (entrenched corruption and failing reform).
