In Singapore, pedestrians have right of way on zebra crossings, elsewhere motorists have right of way. If you cross the road within I think it's fifty metres of a zebra crossing, footbridge, or underpass you can be fined (and I gather this is enforced).
In Indonesia cross where you like. If there's more than one lane (loosely interpreted) of traffic go one lane at a time. Don't stop once you've started, it only confuses motorists. For added security, keeping your hands in normal walking position waggle the one nearest the oncoming traffic to signal that it should go round you. There don't seem to be any more accidents than there are elsewhere, but it is a nerve-racking procedure that I try to avoid.
