IndonesianTalk.com — Indonesia Incorporated and the Vision of an Economic Leap By Aditya Laksmana Yudha (Senior Economic Journalist) President Prabowo Subianto’s meeting with the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) at his residence in Hambalang, Bogor, on Feb. 9, 2026, was far more than a routine dialogue between the head of state and business leaders. The nearly three-hour discussion carried a deeper political and economic message: a serious call to build what the President has termed Indonesia Incorporated. This concept represents a paradigm shift toward national collaboration, bringing together the state, the private sector and society at large to pursue high, inclusive and sustainable economic growth. It signals an ambition to move beyond fragmented policymaking toward a more integrated national economic strategy. During the meeting, President Prabowo was accompanied by State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, and Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, who also serves as Head of…

IndonesianTalk.com –PT Trimata Benua exits court-led debt restructuring, resets coal business strategy After months in court-supervised negotiations, PT Trimata Benua has formally emerged from a debt restructuring process, marking a critical step in stabilizing its finances and resetting its coal mining operations. The coal concession holder in Bentayan, South Sumatra, secured court approval — known as homologation — for its peace agreement with creditors in Case No. 133/Pdt.Sus-PKPU/2025/PN Niaga Jakarta Pusat. The ruling effectively ends the company’s Penundaan Kewajiban Pembayaran Utang (PKPU), Indonesia’s court-led debt moratorium mechanism, and shields the firm from bankruptcy proceedings. The decision was far from symbolic. More than 99 percent of the voting creditors present — 25 out of 27 listed in the final creditors’ register — approved the restructuring proposal during the creditors’ meeting. The strongest backing came from the company’s three majority creditors, all of which also serve as its exclusive contractors, with combined claims…

Indonesiantalk.com — Foreign Capital and the Subtle Fracturing of Prabowo’s Power Axis Indonesia’s political stage was recently animated by a narrative pushed by Tempo, portraying an alleged rift between two central figures within President Prabowo Subianto’s inner circle: Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin and Sufmi Dasco Ahmad. The framing suggested an open confrontation, staged theatrically across the sensitive terrain of Indonesia’s financial markets and regulatory institutions. To seasoned observers of intelligence, media dynamics and geopolitics, however, this was less a revelation of substance than a familiar political technique: divide et impera—divide and rule. The more pertinent question is not whether tensions exist (they always do in governance), but why such tensions are magnified, dramatized, and timed in ways that risk unsettling a government currently projecting internal cohesion. Who benefits from such a portrayal, and who quietly directs the editorial compass? The “Virtuous” Face of Infiltration History shows that media have long served as effective…

Indonesiantalk.com — South Kalimantan Police, regional leaders hold community clean-up in Banjarmasin BANJARMASIN — The morning at Lapangan Kamboja on Saturday (Feb. 7) unfolded without the usual trappings of official ceremony. Instead of speeches and parades, hundreds of people gathered for a simple, almost understated purpose: picking up litter, sweeping streets and restoring a shared public space. Among them were members of the South Kalimantan Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda), bringing together security officials and representatives of the local administration. The community clean-up was held as a follow-up to directions issued by President Prabowo Subianto during a recent National Coordination Meeting, where he emphasized that the state must be visibly present even in matters often considered mundane, such as environmental cleanliness. The activity began at Lapangan Kamboja before moving along Jalan Veteran, one of Banjarmasin’s main thoroughfares. Taking part were the South Kalimantan Police chief, the commander of the 101/Antasari Military…

Indonesiantalk.com — Carrying Out the President’s Directive, South Kalimantan Police Join Mosque Clean-Up Effort The morning at Al Munawwarah Grand Mosque in Banjarbaru felt different from usual. Amid the rhythm of daily worship, hundreds of personnel from the South Kalimantan Regional Police blended seamlessly into the mosque’s surroundings. They came not with standard police gear, but with brooms, mops, and cleaning tools in hand. On Thursday (February 5, 2026), the mosque courtyard, ablution areas, and the main prayer hall were cleaned collectively in a spirit of gotong royong—communal cooperation. Rank and position were set aside as officers worked side by side, tending to every corner of the house of worship to ensure a clean and comfortable environment for congregants. This clean-up action was far from a ceremonial gesture. Behind it lay a message of care and public service, as well as a concrete follow-up to the directive of President Prabowo Subianto, emphasizing…

Indonesiantalk.com — President’s directives to serve as moral compass for government, says Bakom chief Bogor, West Java — Head of the Government Communication Office (Badan Komunikasi Pemerintah/Bakom) Angga Raka Prabowo has emphasized that the directives delivered by President Prabowo Subianto during the National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas) between the central and regional governments should serve as both a moral compass and a practical guide for the entire state apparatus.

.Banjarmasin. — A law dean in South Kalimantan has voiced support for keeping the National Police (Polri) directly under the President, amid renewed debate over proposals to place the institution under a ministry. Dr. Afif Khalid, dean of the Faculty of Law at Universitas Islam Kalimantan Muhammad Arsyad Al Banjari (UNISKA MAB) in Banjarmasin, said law enforcement agencies should remain accountable to the President to ensure institutional independence and clear lines of responsibility. “In principle, law enforcement bodies should report directly to the President, as is the case with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Attorney General’s Office,” Afif said on Tuesday. “This arrangement allows for direct accountability without bureaucratic interference.” He warned that placing the police under a ministry could open the door to political intervention. “If the police were subordinated to a ministry, there is a risk of institutional interference. We strongly support Polri remaining under the President,”…
