You don't expect prices change day by day looking at the exchange ratio. It's a long term trend.
What are "gold days"? My first time in Batam, booking at main joints was from 350k to 1M, now from 700k to 2M. It was 9 years ago, maybe.
Formosa posts the prices in SGD.
Interestingly, 8-10 years ago 1 SGD was around 6500 IDR (XE). Versus USD, the rate moved less: from 9000 to 14000-15000.
