Terima Kasih, tidak = Thank you, No. ( Try for "treema-kasih") This is considered more polite in Indonesia, as it is also here when you come to think about it.
Another polite way is to use 'Lebih baik tidak' = better not.
Indonesians often use 'belum' (b'loom) which really means 'not yet' without any intention of following up, but this, because of the Indonesian way of not emphasising negatives, is acceptable.
Hope this helps those in doubt.
