Komando In The Ring
Coming from two generations of high ranking military leaders, Dimas grew up wanting nothing else than to become a soldier too. But it was only when Dimas moved to Hawaii in the late 1990s that he unexpectedly found a way to channel his patriotic side. In this episode, we follow a story of the first Indonesian to become a pro wrestler in the U.S. Donning an army character from Indonesia, Dimas recounts the serendipitous events that led him to become a wrestler, coming to terms with his family who were adamantly against his childhood dream, and an unexpected turn in his career after 9/11 happened. | Stay connected with us through our Instagram and Twitter: @Indepthcreates or write to us at info@indepthcreative.com | This episode is produced by In-depth Creative | All music licensed | Visit : www.indepthcreative.com or Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

The Tiger Cubs
Election is a contest with a winner, but what if the only way to "win" is to make sure "nobody" wins? Since Indonesia began the process to hold election concurrently in 2015, there have been more and more cases of empty ballot/empty box, only a single candidate race. For some, the empty box is the expression of choice. In this episode, we follow the story of a man who felt cheated in an election process and his intricate tactics and calculated strategies which eventually resulted in a first for Indonesia's democracy. This is not a story of who's right or wrong, this is a story about just how far people would go when they feel cheated in an election. This is the story of the Tiger Cubs. | Stay connected with us through our Instagram and Twitter: @Indepthcreates or write to us at info@indepthcreative.com | This episode is produced by In-depth Creative | All music licensed | Visit : www.indepthcreative.com or Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

The Making of a National Food Culture (Part 2)
Though Indomie is one of Indonesian's most iconic brands, its true origin is largely misunderstood. As Indonesians began to accept wheat-based products as part of their daily diet, instant noodles manufacturers flourished--beginning with Supermi. But it was Soeharto's masterplan with establishing Bogasari, a flour milling facility, that paved the way for Liem Sioe Liong (a.k.a Soedono Salim) to come onto the instant noodle scene. With the help of Soeharto and his institutions, Salim wrestled control over the Indomie brand from the inventor and eventually dominate the entire instant noodle market in Indonesia until today. This is the true but unfortunate story of the original founder of Indomie and how he steadily, but unwillingly, disappeared from history. | Stay connected with us through our Instagram and Twitter: @Indepthcreates or write to us at info@indepthcreative.com | This episode is produced by In-depth Creative | All music licensed | Visit : www.indepthcreative.com or Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

The Making of a National Food Culture (Part 1)
How did instant noodles become a staple food for Indonesians? How did Indomie become Indonesia’s most iconic brand? Through the lens of two generations, we trace back the series of accidental events; from historic famine, a move for political and national stability, nepotism, geopolitics, the letters of desperation, to the legal battle over Indonesia’s most iconic brand and a forgotten founder that history should acknowledge. | Stay connected with us through our Instagram and Twitter: @Indepthcreates or write to us at info@indepthcreative.com | This episode is produced by In-depth Creative | All music licensed | Visit : www.indepthcreative.com or Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

Indonesia In-Studio E3: The Sound of 2020
2020 is coming to an end, and to be honest, we can’t wait! Through musical instruments, sounds, and melodies, Tanita and Rizki paint a picture of what the team went through in this unprecedented year. In this episode of Indonesia In-Studio (and last episode of Indonesia In-depth in 2020!), we take you back to all the works, surprises, the highs and the lows of production that took place in our studio.

Going Back to Indirect Elections?
One of the major changes to Indonesia following the fall of Soeharto and Reformasi was decentralization and a shift to a direct ballot election system. The aim? To ensure that local legislatures were not simply a rubber stamp of Jakarta. In recent years though, we have seen a strong push to return to a similar system used under the New Order and ultimately return more power to the central government. Leading this movement are the key political parties: PDIP, Golkar and Gerindra and with the bigger goal of amending election laws in and even the Constitution. They aim to have the changes completed by 2024. What are the driving forces behind this movement? We sit with Seth Soderborg, a PhD candidate at the Department of Government at Harvard University, to discuss why parties are pushing to return to the old system, what are the driving forces behind it and how might it impact Indonesian politics going forward. | This episode is produced by In-depth Creative | All music licensed | Read the text version of this episode: www.indepthcreative.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

Indonesia In-Documentary - Where Do We Draw The Line?
Between May - July 1945, members of the Investigative Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence (BPUPKI) deliberated on what territories should be included in a future Republic of Indonesia, if Japan granted independence. Should the new state stretch from Southern Thailand to Papua New Guinea? Should it extend only to the borders of the former Dutch colony? Or, should it mirror the territory of the former Majapahit Kingdom from the 14th and 15th Century? In this audio documentary, we revisit the intellectual history of “Tanah Air” with historian Dr. Yosef Djakababa. | This episode is produced by In-depth Creative | All music licensed | Read the text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

Maritime As A Source Of Power?
President Widodo promised to return Indonesia to a maritime power when he first took office in 2014. It was one of Widodo’s major platform policies and there was a lot talk about it in his presidential campaign that year and during the early part of his first term. Intrigued by history, we often wondered, if Widodo hoped to bring back this maritime power, what did this power look like before? Where the kingdoms that controlled this region maritime powers themselves? As part of our Independence Month series at Indonesia In-depth, we explore Indonesia's historical and cultural ties to maritime and how it impacts the government and military today with Dr. Evan Laksmana, a political scientist and senior researcher at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Jakarta. | This episode is produced by In-depth Creative | All music licensed | Read the text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

Indonesia In-Documentary: Anywhere But Home
There are more and more Nigerians fleeing to Indonesia. Why is this the case? Though the local media may have portrayed them more as online scammers and drug dealers, the reality is most of them are just trying to find a better life outside Nigeria doing ordinary jobs. The situation in Nigeria has pushed many youths to emigrate, or attempted to emigrate, abroad. We follow the story of one Nigerian man who hoped to find a better life in Indonesia. Now held in a detention center in West Jakarta, he shares his memories of Lagos, the reality of being a foreign worker in Indonesia and the hope of good things to come--however uncertain it may seem. | This episode is produced by Shawn Corrigan and Tanita, written by Tanita, research by Veronica, edited by Rizki and visually designed by Daniel | All music licensed | Read the text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

Trailer - Anywhere But Home
To flee to a foreign country you barely know and not knowing the language can be scary. But for many Nigerians youths, like Lucas (not his real name), going anywhere but home is necessary. The situation in Nigeria has pushed many youths to emigrate, or attempted to emigrate. We venture along with Lucas in this journey to Indonesia. What followed his arrival in Jakarta in 2017 was nothing close to what he expected. Fast forward to today, Lucas is one of the detainees at the West Jakarta Detention Center. With no chance to earn money and no resources to facilitate his return home, Lucas tirelessly reflects upon what he should do next. This Audio Documentary Coming July 29, 2020!

Local, Central, & the Blame Game
Prior to the pandemic there was push by major parties, such as PDI-P, Golkar and Gerindra, to bring more power back to the central government. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we saw some local leaders taking the initiative with battling the virus while the central government moved slowly. How might these events impact the country’s trend towards a more top-down approach by the central government? West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil, is responsible for over 50 million people in the country’s largest province and appears to have made the most progress with getting the virus under control. How will that impact his political ambitions, such as perhaps a run for presidency in 2024? The president published a rare video of a cabinet meeting in mid-June where he expressed anger and disappointment towards ministers for not having a sense of crisis when it comes to battling the pandemic. What’s the reasoning behind the video release? Who is it aimed at and who is the target audience? Is there a cabinet reshuffle coming? Widodo has had a less than stellar record when it comes to handling the pandemic, how is he currently viewed by the voters and how is he polling? We discuss these questions and much more with one of my favourite guests, Dr. Djayadi Hanan, the executive director of Lembaga Survey Indonesia and the director of political science research at the Paramadina University here in Jakarta. | This episode is written and produced by Shawn Corrigan, sound engineering by Rizki and visual design by Daniel | All music licensed | Read the text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

Economic Challenges - with Economist Faisal Basri
The Central Government has prevented provincial leaders, such as Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan, from implementing a lockdown, despite the fact that Jakarta is the country’s epicentre for the Covid-19 virus. The president says that a lockdown would cripple the country’s economy and lead to social unrest. Does the government have the capacity to successfully implement a lockdown as some have hoped for? Indonesia's Health Care and Social Security Agency (BPJS Kesehatan), was already facing a US$2.3 billion deficit prior to the pandemic. How will Indonesia pay for healthcare going forward with patients flooding into hospitals as a result of the coronavirus and will they be covered? The 2020 State Budget had many experts optimistic about the country’s economic performance with a stable rupiah, growth at 5.3%, oil at US$70 a barrel, just to name a few. Those stats obviously no longer apply. What kind of economic growth might we see going forward? President Widodo had just begun launching his phase II mega projects over the next five years. Topping the list is a plan to move the nation’s capital from Jakarta to East Kalimantan at a cost of US$32.7 billion. There’s also a high-speed rail project, power plants and health programs among many others. How will the pandemic impact Widodo’s mega projects? We cover these topics and more with Faisal Basri, senior economist from the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (INDEF), specializing in political economics. | This episode is written and produced by Shawn Corrigan and Tanita, research done by veronica, sound engineering by Rizki and visual design by Daniel | All music licensed | Read the text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

What's In A Number?
The Indonesian public has been fixated on the official number for Covid-19 cases and deaths during the pandemic. Indonesia’s numbers appear to be far lower than other countries given its 270 million people, but we wondered, how accurate is this number? Especially, when data has yet to be fully compiled at the regional and district levels and when there are at least five confusing categories when it comes to classifying Covid-19 cases in the country. When we traced the origins of these numbers, we found ourselves researching the different types of Covid-19 test kits used by the central and regional governments along with the mounting issues and difficulties involved. In addition to testing, we hear what experts say about how the mass migration, or Mudik, in May would impact the spread of the virus and the weeks of flip-flopping government policy to prevent it. We discussed this and more with scientists on the frontline of this pandemic, Dr. Herawati Sudoyo from the Eijkman Institute and Dr. Aryati from Airlangga University. | This episode is written and produced by Shawn Corrigan and Tanita, research done by veronica, sound engineering by Rizki and visual design by Daniel | All music licensed and composed by Max H: Up in the Andes | The Peruvian Protests | Hang Drum | Read the text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Send us your feedback!

How Do We Know Who to Believe for What Now?
When we ask ourselves how people would even begin to conceive and believe in conspiracy theories and hoaxes during a critical time such as this pandemic, we find that it is so much more than just an issue of how we access and process information, as many would believe. Evidently, world leaders around the world are also engaging in wild narratives surrounding COVID-19. In this episode, we attempt to go to the root of it, by asking how our reasoning works to find truth. We venture into a discussion like never before with Indonesian philosopher, Dr. Haryatmoko, and epistemologist, Dr. Diana Popescu from King’s College London.

No Time for Maritime
During his first term in office, President Widodo promised to return Indonesia to its maritime roots and establish the country as a maritime power. Some may wonder though, how did the world’s largest archipelagic state loose its maritime roots to begin with? Widodo is now into his second term and he appears to have abandoned his maritime vision. What does this mean for Indonesia and what does it mean for the region? This comes at a time where we continue to see encroachment by Chinese vessels into Indonesian waters and even challenging Indonesian authorities. Are these just random fishing vessels wandering into Indonesian territory or is this a strategic move by Beijing as part of a wider, long-term goal? I discuss these important maritime issues, territorial disputes with China, how Widodo’s plan to move the nation’s capital might impact the armed forces and, much more with: Dr. Evan Laksmana, political scientist and senior researcher at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) here in Jakarta.

Indonesia In-Documentary: (Mis) Understood Silence
When the international community condemned the arbitrary detention, mass surveillance, political indoctrination and restrictions on religious activity of the Muslim minority Uyghur ethnic group in 2019, most of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) members instead endorsed China’s treatment of Uyghurs in an official statement. The OIC stated that Beijing has undertaken deradicalization and counter-terrorism measures in the province of Xinjiang. Indonesia also failed to speak out on the issue and has taken a non-interference stance as they say that the Chinese government has a Uyghur separatist issue. What is the Indonesian government’s motivation behind such as stance and what does it mean to its foreign policy? Beijing has not taken this support for granted. It has conducted elaborate charm offensives and invited Indonesian social influencers, religious leaders and journalists on special managed tours to Xinjiang to show “normal life” in the province. Some participants said they failed to see any persecution of citizens while others say their movement was heavily restricted and under heavy surveillance by state minders. What really happened on the Xinjiang trip? In this audio documentary, we explore the Indonesian government’s stance on the Uyghur issue with Sidney Jones, a terrorism and security expert and founder of the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC) and speak to Muyhiddin Junaidi, the head of Muhammadiyah’s international relations and leader of the trip, to learn first-hand how the Indonesian delegation ended up in Xinjiang and what they experienced.

Indonesia In-Ten E3: Indonesia's Shifting Political Landscape
The drama over who will fill Jakarta's empty deputy governor seat is less about local politics and more about Gerindra's desire to rebuild its old relationship with PDIP at the national level. Nothing is permanent when it comes to relationships among political parties in Indonesia. As parties lack strong ideologies, most relationships are established when it’s deemed beneficial rather than based on issues to stances. It’s now beneficial for Gerindra to move from its old partnership with long time ally PKS and instead build a strong relationship with and PDIP, both at the local and national level, with the aim of building a strong coalition heading into the 2024 election. | Read text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Link to Shawn's previous article mentioned in this episode: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/jakartas-2022-election-cancelled-shawn-corrigan/?trackingId=Fy%2FT4FszQ2WwRL8VBm%2FDWQ%3D%3D | Say hi to us!

Indonesia In-Ten E2: Jakarta's 2022 Election Canceled
Anies Baswedan eyed the Jakarta governor's seat as a stepping stone to the presidential palace, but he will likely be politically "neutralized" before the next presidential election. Although Anies may have high name recognition, ambitions for the presidency will likely be difficult to fulfil as he will be prevented from running for reelection in 2022. His controversial divisive campaign, which led to victory in 2017, will also come back to haunt him. |Read text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Say hi to us!

Out With The New, In With The Old
Indonesia’s political liberties have progressed since the reformation era began in 1998. However, in recent years, civil liberties in the country appear to be eroding with laws and regulations that limit freedom of expression, freedom of the press and instances where the government has restricted access and even shut off access to the internet. What’s driving this trend and what does this say about President Jokowi as he embarks on his second term? There’s no better person to discuss this with than Bambang Harimurti. |Read text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Say hi to us! | Email: info@indonesiaindepth.com | Twitter: @IndoIndepth | We are also available on Spotify, iTunes, Soundcloud, Google Music and other podcast players! | All music licensed.

Indonesia In-Ten: Megawati & Jokowi
President Jokowi has been in office since 2014 and was just re-elected for a second term last October. He’s a member of the PDIP party, but is not as influential in the party as some might expect. In fact, most of his first term was spent convincing his own party on his policies and direction for the country. Will this be the case in his second term, and what’s the driving the force inside PDIP? |Read text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com or through Shawn’s LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-corrigan/ | Say hi to us!

Indonesia In-Studio: Unexpected Interviews & A Newfound Interest
Ever wonder what it takes to produce our episodes? There is an entire process that goes into each and every one and often times they are not as simple as record and publish! The process includes brainstorming, research, finding the guests, conducting the interview, crafting a story, collecting extra clips and editing all of that raw audio. All that before we even get to publish! This holiday season, we bring you a special sneak peek behind the production process of our own most memorable episodes when it comes to the production side. Starting from Shawn’s solo experience producing one of our early episodes, episode 15 with Eggi Sudjana from the 212 movement, to Rizki, who never really was into politics until his very first experience with the production of episode 39 with one of the country’s top political analysts, Dr. Djayadi Hanan.

Floating Hospital & A Sinking Healthcare System
Launched in 2014, Indonesia’s Healthcare and Social Security Agency, locally known as BPJS Health, administers universal health care to millions of Indonesians through a heavily subsidized scheme. Although policy makers have good intentions, it's running an approximately US$1.49 billion deficit causing some health providers to be on the brink of collapse after being owed millions of dollars. Covering the program’s cost is not the only thing out of reach, BPJS services remain unattainable for many Indonesians that are outside of the main islands. Some private citizens have taken it upon themselves to provide healthcare for these areas. One non-profit organization called Doctorshare is risking their lives to serve patients in remote parts of the country. With sit down with a healthcare special staff to the former Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahja Purnama (Ahok) and current program head of Doctorshare, Stanley Saputra, to discuss the BPJS Health crisis and the current healthcare situation in remote areas of Indonesia. // This episode is sponsored by We Work.

Compromises, Equalizers & Dynasties
President Widodo set lofty goals when he took office in 2014 and many have yet to be achieved. Hoping to achieve them in his second term, Widodo’s newly-formed cabinet has raised serious questions as to whether those goals are attainable. The government coalition is super-sized and the make-up of cabinet is full of political accommodations and compromises. How might Widodo grab opportunities from this situation? Could Prabowo be a reliable equalizer to help Widodo gain political influence over his own party? On the flip side, was the make-up of the cabinet part of an effort to gain support to amend the Constitution and return to New Order style elections? And are Widodo’s family members set to become the next dynasty? Join us with the ever-brilliant Djayadi Hanan from Lembaga Survey Indonesia.

Indonesia's 21-year Transition to Democracy
This is a special live event edition of Indonesia In-depth. Indonesia began its transition to democracy in 1998 amid a simultaneous political, social and economic crisis.

"This is not an insult, it's just a critique!"
The Indonesian parliament has delayed passing the controversial new amendments to the criminal code, which dates back to the Dutch Colonial Era. Widodo backtracked his support at the last minute after public protests against the bill which is viewed as overcriminalization and draconian. One article in the bill that garnered attention is on the reintroduction of the defamation clause against the President and Vice President. We dive deep into that defamation article to explore why the government thinks it's needed and how it could be misused. Join us as we attempt to navigate through this vague rule with Prof. Harkristuti Harkrisnowo, one of the main drafters of the Criminal Code bill. // Notes: Podcast hosts: Shawn Corrigan & Tanita // Read text version of this episode: www.indonesiaindepth.com // Say hi to us!

The Future of Dining
Technology has changed the way we consume our food and beverages, and consequently, the way business players run their businesses. The rapidly penetrating online food delivery services and the rise of virtual kitchens along with traffic jams and a busy lifestyle, have paved ways for less brick-and-mortars establishments. However, not all F&B businesses have followed suit. One of them is Kopi Kenangan, the grab-and-go coffee chain that has experienced explosive growth in Jakarta’s metro area and more. With co-founder Edward Tirtanata, we explore many of these issues such as bucking certain trends and where are we actually heading in terms of how we eat our food and drink our coffee. Also the environmental impact of to-go packaging and what Indonesian consumers like and dislike when it comes to F&B purchases. // This episode is sponsored by We Work.

What It Takes To Rig An Election
The 2019 election has ended but the discourse of “election fraud” in Indonesia remains foggy and tends to shun away from the statistical elements that makes up the election itself. The Constitutional Court rejected Prabowo’s challenge to the 2019 presidential election results when he complained of “structural, systematic and massive electoral fraud”, but what does that standard even mean? Why does It matter in a large-scale election like Indonesia’s? How do you actually manipulate the voter list? Ultimately, we ask: what does one need to do in order to rig an election? In this episode, we dive deep into this issue with Seth Sorderborg, an expert on Indonesian elections and a Ph.D candidate in political science at Harvard University.

A Receding Wave of Optimism in Myanmar
On this “Special International Edition” of Indonesia In-depth - A wave of optimism flowed over Myanmar in 2010 when the military leadership began the slow process of opening up the country and implementing both economic and democratic reforms. At the same time, the government began new efforts to establish peace with more than a dozen armed ethnic minority groups, which has been one of the world’s longest civil wars. This was followed by historic general elections in 2015 and a new government. International leaders lifted sanctions on the country and competed with each other to meet the defacto leader and face of the democratic movement, Aung San Suu Kyi. Now, peace negotiations have stalled, new concerns that the economy may not live up to its full potential and reports of genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Muslim Rohingya have gone unanswered. Suu Kyi has dramatically fallen from grace. What are the major obstacles for the peace negotiations? What might the upcoming election results in 2020 look like? What’s the latest situation with the Rohingya crisis? We discuss these issues and much more with the former Myanmar deputy minister of information and presidential spokesperson, Colonel (ret.) U Ye Htut.

"The election system is broken”… again?
Presidential contender, Prabowo Subianto and his political coalition, rejected the official presidential election results announced by the General Election Commission (KPU) and filed a lawsuit in the Constitutional Court citing that “structural, systematic and massive electoral fraud” had occurred. His challenge received quite a bit of attention in both the local/international media and by political observers that believed such a move could escalate political tensions and divide the country. Despite the hype, media attention and fears of polarization, Prabowo’s decision to appeal the presidential election results in the Court is actually the norm not the exception. Shawn and Tanita shed light on how many of the same political players in power today made the same claims in past elections when the results weren't in their favor.

Happiness On Loan
We start with this question: Are there any alternatives for borrowers to take loans safely without resorting to predatory loan sharks? But our quest to seek answers reveal how complicated Indonesians’ relationship with loans are. The obstacles with financial inclusivity in the conventional system and the growing online loan services clearly complicate the deeply-rooted loan culture among Indonesians.

Appreciating Indonesia’s Democratic Election
Some people, primarily among the international community, question whether the 2019 Indonesian elections will be free and fair, void of voter irregularities and/or violence. But are these concerns well-grounded? Do we need to be worried? Shawn believes that these concerns are reasonable but unfounded. We take a look at Indonesia’s recent history in 1998 and appreciate how far the country has come in terms of its democratic elections. In addition, we will discuss whether the new shift to a concurrent election system will cause major disruptions during the election process itself.

ASEAN Through the Lens of a Human Rights Activist Working Inside ASEAN
Although ASEAN has been under fire for its powerlessness in the face of several human rights atrocities such as attacks on Rohingya ethnic minority in Myanmar, internal ASEAN officials, some of whom have lengthy human rights activism experience, remain optimistic that the association can be a force for good. What do they actually see in ASEAN’s non-interference and consensus principles? Why do they keep on appeasing the Myanmar Government while violence raged in Myanmar’s Rakhine State? Why do member states tend to be more closed off in ASEAN forums than in the UN forum? And more questions.

The legislative election this year is going to be tougher as changes in various laws influence how political parties behave.

Doubling Down on Data Part 2
Indonesian officials hope new policies can expedite growth for its digital economy. After years of deliberations, the government is preparing to finalize the revision to a controversial regulation (GR82/2012) that has prevented the county’s e-commerce and online businesses from living up to their fullest potential due to a overprotective and inflexible data regime. After discussions with government officials, we breakdown all the essential changes that will impact how data is managed and processed and which data can flow outside Indonesia’s borders.

After talking with key lawmakers overseeing the information and communications sector about data privacy and security, we are back with a follow up episode on this topic but this time from the government's perspective. We sat down with the Director General of Information & Applications, Mr. Semuel Abrijani, a key official behind two major legal frameworks on data which will determine how consumer data can be used, how companies can store their data and how far the government can oversee these activities. Both of these frameworks will impact consumers along with the business community and deserve close scrutiny. In Part I, we cover the Data Privacy protection Bill. In Part II will we go deep into data control and electronic transactions.

Coalitions Put Jokowi & Prabowo In A Bind
In recent episodes, we have covered the run up to the 2019 presidential campaign and the political negotiations that have been involved, particularly the coalition building between political parties. We also discussed how parties are scrambling to form coalitions to meet presidential thresholds.

We keep talking about how Widodo is managing his coalition and how his rival, Prabowo Subianto, is doing the same. But why do they even need coalitions and what’s all the fuss about??

Friction between Widodo & his Coalition over VP pick
It’s becoming more and more likely that President Widodo’s next vice presidential candidate will not come from a political party. As mentioned in a previous episode, some senior party members in the government coalition such as Golkar and PKB, have privately suggested it might be prudent to withhold party resources for Widodo’s reelection bid if they are not rewarded with the vice presidential seat or if not promised with a large number of cabinet seats as a substitute in the next administration if Widodo is reelected. A middle ground will need to be found between Widodo and his coalition parties when It comes to this VP candidate.

Jokowi's Policy Is Against Islam - Says The 212 Islamist Hardline Association
We focus on the latest developments involving the controversial hardline Islamic association known as the "212 Alumni". This group was instrumental in the campaign against the former Jakarta governor Basuki Purnama or Ahok in 2017. The 212 Alumni is making headlines once again as they hope to play a another role in a new coalition to challenge President Widodo’s re-election run in 2019. We discussed a variety of topics such as, the controversial cleric Habib Rizieq, the use of identity politics, the 212 groups view of Widodo, and how 212 intends to play a role in the upcoming presidential elections in 2019.

Golkar, Widodo & The Next VP Candidate
The lack of clarity of who will be Widodo’s next vice presidential candidate has caused internal friction inside the Golkar party. This situation has left several senior party members questioning Widodo’s loyalty to his closest ally. With less than 30 days to go before parties must register their presidential candidates, Widodo’s key coalition member has become divided on whether to fully back the president for a second term as the president eyes other candidates besides Golkar chairman, Airlangga Hartarto. The General Election Commission (KPU) has set its registration period 4-10 August 2018. A decision by Widodo to pick a VP outside of Golkar could negatively impact the president’s reelection campaign as the party might withhold its resources.
