The Indonesian government sought to develop Batam in the 1970s, planning to make it a competitor to the flourishing city-state of Singapore. Although the results have not been as convincing, the island's growth rate remains very encouraging. But Batam isn't just Singapore's industrial backbone, it's also where the city-state's middle classes come to indulge in drugs, prostitution and gambling - anything goes, giving the little island the air of a poor man's Eldorado. If you're in the mood for an offbeat destination, then Batam is the place for you And that's a shame, because the potential is there!
