Alleged Police Involvement in Regional Elections and Prabowo’s Controversial Geopolitical Moves Spark Criticism

Hello and welcome to the Indonesia at a Crossroads newsletter!

I’m excited to have you join me on this journey as we review and analyze President Prabowo’s policies over the next five years.

I have so many ideas for how I will run the newsletter. One thing I’ve been considering is involving other writers, especially Gen-Z contributors, if we have the budget in the future. For now, with a budget of zero, what I can offer is a biweekly newsletter.

As promised, I will write a newsletter on Prabowo’s administration. In the first week, I will focus on political or economic issues. In the second week, I will cover environmental and human rights issues, which I believe are intertwined.

This newsletter will be different from others. I want it to become the best source for both Indonesian and foreign readers. I will try my best to include both local and international angles. The aim is to bridge the information gap between Indonesian and foreign readers.

Lets start with volume 1.
