The World Bank predicts that despite a worldwide economic downturn, Indonesia’s growth will continue.

The rising price of Indonesia's natural resources is helping to create a fast-growing middle class, and a group of super-rich citizens.

By 2015, it is estimated that Indonesia will have over 100,000 millionaires, despite half of the population still living on $2 a day.

Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports from Jakarta.

The mega rich Chinese Indons have always regard Singaporeans as low-class, substandard. They view us with disdain. But they don't show it. What is good about them is that they are cash rich and helps to keep the liquidity flowing. That is one of the reasons we welcome them. We need their money.
