Now parliament is considering proposals that end direct presidential elections, effectively returning power to the traditional elites who control political parties that dominate the legislature. Any constitutional amendment needs the support of two-thirds of the parliament to pass. Top leaders in parliament have said the guidelines will ensure greater cohesion and continuity in setting policy.

2. Plotting Jokowi's Easy Victory over Prabowo

Let's face it, Prabowo was fake opposition. His presence misled many middle-class to Jokowi overwhelmingly, who appears to be less hard-line. also got himself affiliated with a new Islamic Vice President Ma'ruf; observers described him as Indonesia's Wang Qishan (China's powerful VP). The people voted for it, right?

3. Jowoki and His Corrupted Elites Consolidating Power
Before the swearing-in of the new Cabinet, Jowoki swiftly announced the shifting of the capital to Kalimantan. Instead of improving the infrastructure and lives of millions in existing cities, the government is plotting to siphon billions of USD to devastate Borneo further, which is already blundered by mining and agricultural companies. Moreover, the president and his entourage already have big investments on the island and money disappearing into the pockets of these elites.

Dumping money into infrastructure projects in a overcrowded areas will only attract more people there.
Moving capital city means removing people from overcrwoded jakarta to a isolated area like kalimantan where there is a huge area to expand and cities need not be high rise but spread out and lowly built with modern amenities, parks and better quality of life with no traffic.
To me its a brilliant idea.
Dr M moving gahmen departments to putrajaya improved traffic in the city and i think this could be replicated in indonesia,

Indonesia's downward spiral started when democracy was established after the rule of Suharto.

The country would be far better off if a strongman returned to the helm as he would be in a position to crush the political revival of the Islamists and return the country to a more secular form of governance.

We should go back to the great Majapahit Empire.

Sinkieland was known as 'Tumasik'... Temasek.

No matter who runs the country ... I can only say that Indonesia will still be the same.

Low IQ countries are easily predictable - failed

Nepotism exist in everywhere countries. I dont condone such. But the President does take care of his rakyat. In Indon, every household were given free rice every month. I understand its 15kg. What about Sinkieland?

I am a simple man, a few pieces of free begedil every month would suffice for me.

If no begedil, McNuggets also can.

4. Youth Rebellion in Indonesia

A 21-year-old student died on Thursday after he was shot in the chest during a rally in Sulawesi. The rallies are not associated with a particular party or group and instead are led by students, who have often been a force for political change in Indonesia. It was their demonstrations in 1998 that helped lead to the downfall of former President Suharto who like many Indonesians only goes by one name.

The protests are said to be the largest in decades. Among the demonstrators' main grievances are the government's efforts to curb the powers of the anti-corruption commission, as well as a slew of other legislative proposals that they fear will curb freedom of expression, limit personal freedoms, social inequality and harm the environment.

5. Independent Movement in West Papua

West Papuans have already lost around 500,000 people since Jakarta's occupation and they are not backing down. Since mid-August, West Papua has been hit by waves of mass protests and violence fuelled by alleged racism against indigenous Papuans by Indonesians from other parts of the archipelago, as well as calls for self-rule in the impoverished region. Many were killed by security forces and 35,000 are estimated to flee the troubled region. The issue is further complicated as the the Islamic Defenders Front, one of the largest Muslim militias in Java, had started to call on Muslims for 'jihad' against predominantly Christian Papuans.

Indonesia should let go off west pspua like they did timor timor. B J habibie did not complete his job.
Hanging on to restless territories costs too much in terms of life and money. That money can be better spent in other areas of the country.

6. Man-made Forest Fires by Palm Oil Industry

While our haze problem is gone, thousands of hectares of forest are still burning, causing toxic smoke to be released into the atmosphere. In many cities, the health of the young and old are compromised, business activities stalled and millions covered their faces with just thin mask. These peatland forests are extensively cleared annually to meet the demand of palm oil, causing PSI in these cities to surge pass 1000 when we consider 100 to be unhealthy.

7. Lowly-educated Population

Factories are moving to Vietnam or China because most of their poor has access to education opportunities up to high-school level. This is not the case for most of the improvised in Indonesia. As a result, skilled labour are hard to come by for MNCs who want to locate their production to Indonesia. Indonesia's population continued to grow strongly but economic growth is projected to slow to sub-5% for Jokowi's second term. Relative to the size of its economy and population, Indonesia attracts little foreign direct investment.

8. Pollution

The Indonesian people live in misery. Grotesque statistics are totally spiteful to the enormous plight of the nation. Air and water are heavily poisoned. The rich and politicians robbed the country while they chill in their offshore properties in Australia and Singapore.
