Stories below on what kind of president #Prabowo might be, and the legacy #Jokowi leaves behind.

Emas or Gelap? Indonesia’s president Prabowo Subianto leans on golden promises as ‘dark’ economic reality bites

“Anwar’s efforts to position Malaysia as a leader of the Global South and Prabowo’s focus on boosting Indonesia’s global profile could undermine ASEAN’s cohesion at a time when unity is needed more than ever.” https://t.co/qdE6t3BFrf

Can Indonesia buy cheap Russian oil? Yes, but the government needs to be aware with its geopolitical and geoeconomic implications.

“… a personal approach and involvement from the president himself that perhaps is different from the Jokowi era, but what direction this strategy will take is less clear at this point.”

Today is the day.

HK’s High Court is set to pass sentence on the 45 democracy campaigners convicted of “conspiracy to subversion” over the 2020 primary election.

Some relatives are too nervous to sleep, and some said they want “no surprise no shock”.

Experts warn the reference to 'overlapping claims' in Indonesia's new joint statement with China could undermine its territorial rights and lend credibility to Beijing's extensive claims in the South China Sea.

Prabowo recently sent Menlu to attend BRICS Summit, expressed interest to join, planned to hold naval exercise w/ 🇷🇺. Does it mean change in 🇮🇩 FP?

I talked w/ @amysood2 @SCMPNews and argue this is more signal to diversify engagement rather than change.

A policy known as the “two-week rule” puts many domestic helpers working in Hong Kong in a vulnerable position. For them, it's a fight to stay on.

Indonesians see China as both their country's most valued partner and greatest threat, according to a new survey by @indikatorcoid @BurhanMuhtadi.

Unpacked some reasons for these conflicting views, w/ insights from @kennedymuslim @YohanesSulaiman 👇

Indonesia officially has a new president. Prabowo: “We will take on the baton of leadership to make Indonesia a strong, prosperous, and independent nation. We do not wish to disturb other countries, just as we expect no other nations to disturb us…We want to be a good neighbour. We will stand against all colonialism and we will defend the interests of oppressed people worldwide.”

Prabowo swore in his 'fat cabinet' today -- with a mix of professional and political appointments (several police/military).

Many allies have been accommodated -- this may ease policy passage but risks bureaucratic inefficiencies.
