Report police? In Indo? Hehehe...not when the police is on the Taxi driver's side. I still remember during army time,when we were out at the open sea,we saw with our own eyes that the Pirates and the Coastal Police out at the Indo sea were the same people,hehehe...(we actually enter indo sea by accident) day time they are police,night time they are the pirates,...unless i am in group,i believe i am still too junior to drop at Sekupang/Nongsa Ferry terminal if my destination is going to be at Nagoya ,yes...even if it means free,hehehe...
I go to Batam to seek enjoyment,not to take the risk to face unforeseen problems,hehehe...

Agreed with you,dont bully others but dont get bullied either.
Then again,what if they have full intend to bully me? I believe i can only LL let them bully if the location is in the middle of an expressway or somewhere with LESS HUMAN TRAFFIC...what can i ultimately do? Report to the police? And then call my father,mother or my 18th generation ancestors to come and bail me? LOL....yes,i must say this forefront,it wont happen to everyone,maybe it would likely be an isolated case with one in a thousand chance but there is always a "what if" factor there...i ask myself,do i want to take the "what if" risk by travelling in/from less populated place? Nope,i dont...hehehe...like i say before,i go to Batam to relax and enjoy,not to risk the one in thousand fail.
This can also happen in any part of the world.My solution is,play in where it is safest,be humble,be polite,dont be an asshole and dont show off that you are super rich (in my perspective,all Sillyporean in Batam are super rich in indo term).
My perspective,my choice.
