[edit] The number of schools it owns

Someone with Bahasa should check that source regarding the number of schools Muhammadiyah owns. My guess is that it's meant to be 5.7-odd thousand or something like that (since 5.7 schools is impossible), but I don't have the language ability to prove that right or wrong.

I can read Malay so can usually understand Indonesia well enough. From a quick check of the article, it looks like they have 5747 schools. From previously experience I know that the period is generally used for the thousand seperator (and the comma for the decimal point) in Indonesian, probably due to their Dutch colonial influence (unlike in Malay which uses the same as English probably due to the British colonial influence in Malaysia).
