The State, the Mines, and the Return of Economic Nationalism 

INDONESIANTALK.com — The State, the Mines, and the Return of Economic Nationalism.  By Dr. Eko Wahyuanto Indonesia may be approaching one of the most consequential economic policy shifts since the Reformasi era. In June 2026, coinciding with the commemoration of Pancasila Day, the government is expected to issue a presidential regulation establishing a “single-gate” export system for natural resources — a mechanism designed to centralize and tighten state control over commodity exports. At first glance, the policy appears administrative: an effort to simplify customs procedures and reduce leakage. But beneath the bureaucratic language lies a far larger political ambition. President Prabowo Subianto seems intent on redefining the relationship between the Indonesian state, its natural resources, and the global market. For decades, Indonesia’s mineral wealth has flowed outward through a system vulnerable to manipulation. Coal, nickel, bauxite, copper, and palm oil generated enormous profits, yet much of the financial benefit escaped the…

A Nation Arguing with Its Own Shadow

redaksi

A Nation Arguing with Its Own Shadow By: SS Budi Raharjo, Social Observer Without meaning to, I found myself recalling a conversation between two young Indonesians at a café on a rain-soaked evening. One was pessimistic. The other optimistic. The pessimist spoke of swelling state debt, shuttered factories, rising unemployment, shrinking rice fields, and a middle class sliding downward like loose sand collapsing from a cliff. To him, Indonesia was marching toward a precipice with alarming confidence. The optimist smiled. Democracy, he said, was still alive. Education was improving. Young Indonesians were becoming more creative. Foreign investment continued to arrive. Entirely new forms of employment were emerging from technologies once unimaginable. Indonesia, he insisted, was simply too large to fail. I listened to both. And as often happens in this country, both of them were right at the same time. That is Indonesia: a nation constantly arguing with its own shadow….

HIPMI Congress Drama Escalates as Candidates Demand Venue Relocation Over Neutrality Concerns

redaksi

IndonesianTalk.com – What should have been a strategic leadership transition inside Indonesia’s Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI) is now turning into a tense internal battle over fairness, neutrality, and organizational trust. Just weeks before the 18th National Congress (Munas XVIII), three candidates for the chairmanship of HIPMI’s Central Executive Board are openly demanding that the congress be moved out of Lampung. The candidates — Reynaldo Bryan, Afie Kalla, and Anthony Leong — argue that the province can no longer be viewed as a neutral host after the circulation of a controversial video allegedly showing public political support from local authorities toward one of the candidates, Ade Jona Prasetyo. The controversy erupted after Instagram account @Bocoraluspengusaha uploaded a digital investigation on May 14, 2026. The video, which quickly spread across internal HIPMI groups and social media circles, allegedly shows Lampung Governor Rahmat Mirzani Djausal alongside Lampung Regional House Speaker Ahmad Giri openly backing Ade…

“This Nation Is Not Doing Well, But We Must Not Lose Hope”

IndonesianTalk.com — “This Nation Is Not Doing Well, But We Must Not Lose Hope” Temposiana.com Interview with Stephanus Slamet Budi Raharjo “There are people for every era. And every era produces its own people.” The phrase surfaced repeatedly during a lengthy conversation between Temposiana.com and Stephanus Slamet Budi Raharjo. Inside his book-lined office, surrounded by stacks of documents and the fading aroma of cold coffee, the man widely known as Jojo spoke in a calm yet piercing tone. A senior journalist long associated with integrity, outspoken criticism of misconduct, and a reputation as a “justice warrior,” he believes Indonesia is passing through a difficult chapter. Public trust is weakening. Role models are becoming scarce. Noise often carries more weight than substance. Yet amid his sharp criticism, one thing remains intact: optimism. Below are excerpts from the interview. Temposiana.com: Recently, you have often quoted the phrase, “There are people for every era. And…

Maung Turns Heads at ASEAN Summit in Cebu

redaksi

IndonesianTalk.com — Maung Turns Heads at ASEAN Summit in Cebu. By Dr. Eko Wahyuanto The 48th ASEAN Summit in Cebu, the Philippines, concluded with an unexpected diplomatic spectacle from Indonesia — one that drew attention not through speeches alone, but through the arrival of a vehicle that symbolized the country’s growing industrial ambition. President Prabowo Subianto attended the regional gathering not in the customary imported limousine often associated with world leaders, but in Indonesia’s domestically produced tactical vehicle, the Maung. The decision was widely interpreted as more than a logistical choice. It was a deliberate political statement: Indonesia’s defense industry is no longer merely aspiring to grow — it is ready to present itself on the international stage. As the Maung rolled through the protocol roads of Cebu, the vehicle quickly became a public attraction. Amid convoys dominated by European luxury sedans, the Indonesian-made tactical car stood out with its muscular silhouette,…

IndonesianTalk.com –– Opinion: Mylaw Indonesia Legal Consultant Princess Hillary, S.H. — Facing the 2026 Economic Turbulence: Liquidation, PKPU, or Bankruptcy? As Indonesia enters the second quarter of 2026, global economic turbulence continues to test the resilience of businesses across multiple sectors. From mining and construction to manufacturing and retail, many companies are now confronting difficult financial realities amid weakening purchasing power, volatile commodity prices, and tightening liquidity. In April 2026, the Indonesian Receivers and Administrators Association (AKPI) publicly warned that bankruptcy-related disputes are expected to increase as economic uncertainty persists. The statement reflects a growing concern within Indonesia’s commercial legal ecosystem: when a company begins to struggle financially, what legal path should business owners take to minimize losses and protect their remaining assets? In Indonesian commercial law practice, there are three primary mechanisms commonly used as “emergency exits” for distressed companies: voluntary liquidation, Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU), and bankruptcy. Although…

IndonesianTalk.com — HarianKami Leaders Attend Police General Chaidir’s Doctoral Promotion at STIK The morning unfolded with quiet solemnity in Kebayoran Baru. Applause, when it came, was measured—less a celebration than a restrained acknowledgment of a long intellectual journey reaching its culmination. At the Bhadawa Building of the Police Science College (STIK) on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, Inspector General Dr. Chaidir officially earned his doctorate in police science, marking a significant milestone in both his academic and professional career. His name is simple—Chaidir. His titles, however, are extensive: SH, S.I.K., M.Si., M.P.P., M.Han. Together, they reflect a career shaped by both practice and study, in the field and in the classroom. The open doctoral session was attended by leaders of HarianKami, underscoring the event’s broader relevance beyond academic circles. It was not merely a ceremonial proceeding, but a moment that bridged scholarship, statecraft, and law enforcement. Chaidir’s dissertation addressed a complex and…

Correcting an Anomaly in Ride-Hailing Justice

IndonesianTalk.com — Correcting an Anomaly in Ride-Hailing Justice, By Dr. Eko Wahyuanto The commemoration of May Day on May 1, 2026, at Monas became more than a ritual gathering of workers. It evolved into an arena of competing ideas between ride-hailing platforms and their drivers. Standing before the crowd, Prabowo Subianto introduced a striking proposal: to cap the maximum commission charged by ride-hailing companies at 8 percent. The statement, bold in both tone and substance, signals an attempt to address what many drivers have long perceived as an imbalance in the relationship between application companies and their partners. For years, the so-called “partnership” model has masked asymmetrical practices, where drivers shoulder disproportionate burdens through commissions, promotional costs and various deductions. Government intervention, therefore, is expected to inject new momentum into resolving a long-standing structural issue. This policy marks a significant shift in redefining the relationship between capital owners and service providers….

Indonesiantalk.com — ANTARA Chief Equips Immigration Officials with Communication Strategies in Disruptive Era Jakarta — The president director of state news agency ANTARA, Benny Siga Butarbutar, has urged Indonesia’s immigration officials to adopt transformative communication strategies to strengthen institutional legitimacy and resilience amid rapid global changes. Speaking at the Immigration Public Relations Gathering (Kopdar Humas Imigrasi) 2026 in Cibubur, East Jakarta, on Wednesday, Benny highlighted the government’s ongoing challenge to regain public trust in an increasingly dynamic society. “Today, the government is in a struggle to reassure a changing public. That is where service, communication and ease must be delivered swiftly,” he said. Benny stressed that communication transformation is key to restoring public confidence, particularly as institutions navigate fast-evolving social and technological landscapes. He described the Directorate General of Immigration as a symbol of Indonesia’s public service and bureaucracy, noting its dual role in serving both Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals….
