IndonesianTalk.com — Navigating Public Trust Through the Indicator SurveyBy Eko Wahyuanto The latest survey by Indicator Politics Indonesia suggests that amid mounting global geopolitical tensions and a turbulent world economy, public satisfaction with President Prabowo Subianto remains remarkably resilient. This is not a moment of euphoria. Beneath the figures of those who say they are “very satisfied” or “fairly satisfied” lies a deeper message—one that deserves to be unpacked with careful and critical analysis. These numbers represent the vox populi: the pulse of public sentiment translated into data. The January 2026 Indicator survey should not be read as a report card, but as a dialectical lens through which to examine the gap between public expectations and policy realities. Stability and Expectations The public largely perceives President Prabowo as a firm and decisive leader. Ideologically, this reflects a strong social belief that a “strong state” provides guarantees of economic stability and security—two…

South Kalimantan Police, regional leaders hold community clean-up in Banjarmasin
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…

Law dean backs National Police remaining under President’s authority
.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,”…
Agusrin Najamudin, Former Bengkulu Governor Now a Fugitive — A Case of Ordinary Fraud or a Political Pandora’s Box?
IndonesianTalk.com — Agusrin Najamudin, Former Bengkulu Governor Now a Fugitive — A Case of Ordinary Fraud or a Political Pandora’s Box? There are names in Jakarta’s political orbit that never fully disappear—names that rarely surface publicly yet remain persistent in private conversations, whispers, and coded exchanges. One of them is Agusrin M. Najamudin. The former governor of Bengkulu is now officially a fugitive. But long before his photo appeared on the wanted list of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Agusrin’s name traveled through political corridors as rumor, leverage, and silent influence. In Indonesian politics—where decisions are often shaped behind closed doors rather than in plenary halls—Agusrin’s presence has been less visible but never absent. A former senior official, speaking anonymously, summed it up bluntly: “He’s not a player. He’s the remote control.” A Shadow Operator Agusrin’s name resurfaced following a June 2025 investigation published by MATRA magazine. The report refers to a…
Orchestrating Humanitarian Diplomacy on the Global Stage
Indonesiantalk.com — Orchestrating Humanitarian Diplomacy on the Global Stage The strike of a gavel at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva earlier this January did more than conclude a ceremonial procedure. It marked a moment of global recognition of Indonesia’s growing role in the struggle for human rights and justice. For the first time since the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) was established, Indonesia has been formally entrusted with the presidency of the Council — a remarkable development unfolding amid a world marked by geopolitical turbulence and moral uncertainty. The appointment sends a clear message from Geneva to Jakarta: in the complex arena of international politics and law, Indonesia is no longer merely a participant, but an emerging conductor in the orchestra of global moral leadership. The election of Ambassador Sidharto Reza Suryodipuro as President of the UN Human Rights Council for 2026 was far from accidental. It represents the culmination…

This initiative is part of the government’s broader target to operate a total of 200 Sekolah Rakyat by 2026, supporting the long-term vision of Indonesia Emas 2045.
