Nasdem, Golkar Chairmen Discuss Cooperation Religiosity Stipulation Removed from KPK's New Code of Ethics Subscribers copy, not for distribution Monday, Mar. 9th, 2020 GENERAL NEWS AND HEADLINES NasDem, Golkar chairmen discuss cooperation CNN Indonesia, (https://tinyurl.com/ql37ja8); Detik, (https://tinyurl.com/wllyruq) NasDem Party chairman Surya Paloh and Golkar Party chairman Airlangga Hartarto met Monday at the latter’s office in Jakarta. Golkar deputy chairwoman Meutya Hafid, who also serves as House of Representatives Commission I chairwoman, said the meeting was to discuss the country’s current economic transformation as well as possible cooperation between the two parties ahead of the 2020 regional elections this September. Previously, Airlangga had also met with Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) chairman Sohibul Iman and Democratic Party chairman Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to discuss the upcoming regional elections as well as the government’s ongoing deliberation on the omnibus bills on job creation and taxation. Religiosity stipulation removed from KPK’s new code of ethics TribunNews, (https://tinyurl.com/v467hp4); Antara (https://tinyurl.com/u4qrtph) The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) supervisory council has completed its revision of the antigraft body’s code of ethics, in which the importance of several values such as integrity, justice, professionalism, leadership and synergy is stipulated. The latest revision saw the removal of religiosity from the social values stipulated in the new code of ethics. The removal was due to the inherence of religious values in other stipulated social values, as explained by KPK supervisory council chairman Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean. The removal of religious values from the KPK’s code of ethics, however, has been criticized by Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) secretary-general Anwas Abbas. “We [the MUI] lamented such removal. It appears that the KPK’s supervisory council has ignored [the state ideology] Pancasila and the Article 29 clause 1 of the 1945 Constitution,” said Anwar. Copyright © 2020.

The demonstrators mobilized using various hashtags on social media platforms, such as #GejayanMemanggil (Gejayan calls, which references a major street used for protests in Yogyakarta) and #GagalkanOmnibusLaw (Abort the omnibus law). The protest was reportedly attended by students from several universities in Yogyakarta, including Gadjah Mada University (UGM), Yogyakarta State University (UNY) and Yogyakarta Muhammadiyah University (UMY).

But their optimism is not as strong as the previous month.” The largest drop in consumer confidence occurred on the expenditure level of Rp 2.1 to 3 million (US$145 to $207) per month, as well as the age range of 51 to 60 years old.

Even though Indonesia has reported a few coronavirus cases, fears over the economic impact of the outbreak is growing as the virus epidemic infects more countries on a global scale, causing widespread fear and panic. The State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) Ministry is currently considering a buy back on SOE stock in an effort to support the deeply corrected JCI. Finance Ministry, SKK Migas concerned and worried by sudden fall in global oil prices CNBC Indonesia, (https://tinyurl.com/ty3m93r, https://tinyurl.com/wny7lvb); Bisnis Indonesia, (https://tinyurl.com/trxtsgt) Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati is slightly concerned with the current development in the global oil market, following a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia triggered by a disagreement over production cuts in the OPEC+ group meeting. Although lower oil prices could help shore up the Indonesian economy hit by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, it would negatively affect the country’s oil production and government’s revenue from oil and gas. Energy Watch executive director Mamit Setiawan said that the government needs oil prices to be within the range of US$32 to $35 per barrel in order to achieve its targeted Rp 127 trillion ($8.77 billion) non-tax revenue from oil and gas. Meeting the government’s oil and gas lifting target of 750,000 barrels per day will also be arduous, Mamit added. Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Task Force (SKK Migas) head Dwi Soetjipto said that SKK Migas will respond with various policy measures to counter the negative effect on the country’s oil production. The policy responses include lowering cost through efficiency, recalculating the economic value of some investment projects and providing more incentives to shore up investment in the oil and gas sector.

    Asia Pacific Bulletin EastWestCenter.org/APB Number 266 | June 5, 2014 The Indonesian Presidential Election: Now a Real Horse Race? BY ALPHONSE F. LA PORTA The startling about-face of Indonesia’s second largest political party, Golkar, which is also the legacy political movement of deposed President Suharto, to bolt from a coalition with the front-runner Joko Widodo, or “Jokowi,” to team up with the controversial retired general Prabowo Subianto, raises the possibility that the forthcoming July 9 presidential election will be more than a public crowning of the populist Jokowi. Alphonse F. La Porta, former Golkar, Indonesia’s second largest vote-getter in the April 9 parliamentary election, made President of the US-Indonesia its decision on May 19 based on the calculus by party leaders that Golkar’s role in Society, explains that “With government would better be served by joining with a strong figure like Prabowo rather more forthcoming support from than Widodo, who is a neophyte to leadership on the national level. Thus a large coalition of parties fronted by the authoritarian-minded Prabowo will now be pitted against the the top level of the PDI-P, it is smaller coalition of the nationalist Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), which had just possible that Jokowi could selected former vice president Jusuf Kalla, nominally of Golkar, as Jokowi’s running mate. achieve the 44 percent plurality If this turn of events sounds complicated, it is—even for Indonesian politics. But first a look some forecast in the presidential at some of the basics: election, but against Prabowo’s rising 28 percent, the election is Indonesia’s fourth general election since Suharto’s downfall in 1998 has marked another increasingly becoming a real— milestone in Indonesia’s democratization journey.

The article aims to determine the political cleavage among Indonesian political parties, whether classifed into the ideological spectrum or the organisational degree. From a methodological standpoint, it is qualitative research by employing in-depth interviews and online news collection as a data gathering technique. The study’s fnding depicts that the ideological cleavage is no longer relevant under the open-list proportional representation system because political parties eventually have pragmatical orientations rather than ideological considerations. It can be proven that the position of nationalist secular parties is not merely in the approval side but also in the denial and dilemma sides. Likewise, the position of nationalist Islamist parties can be found on two sides: denial and dilemma. This fnding verifes that Indonesia’s ideological contestation is waning and inactive when political parties cope with power issues. On the contrary, the ideology is revived when it deals with religious and tribal afairs.

There are also no fundamental differences among parties over major policy questions. • The fractured nature of the Indonesian socio-political elite is instead reflected in the proliferation of small parties. This results in the necessity of multi-party coalitions, thus giving Indonesia’s largest party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), a tactical advantage. • The PDIP has floated the possibility of changing the laws to allow President Joko Widodo to stand again in 2024. Perhaps to sustain its leverage in a post-Widodo government, the PDIP is also advocating the revival of the formal Broad Outlines of State Strategy, which featured during the Soeharto era as overarching policy guidelines for each term of government.

    THE DECLINE OF GOLKAR PARTY’S HEGEMONY. GOLKAR’S PERFORMANCE IN FACING THE SIMULTANEOUS REGIONAL ELECTIONS IN SOUTH SULAWESI Muhammad Reza Syamsuri1, Sri Budi Eko Wardani2 1Departemen Ilmu Politik, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Indonesia, 16424, Indonesia, [email protected] 2Departemen Ilmu Politik, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Indonesia, 16424, Indonesia, [email protected] Abstract After the era of decentralization and democratization, Golkar entered the era of direct regional elections. Golkar in its participation in regional elections in South Sulawesi in 2005-2013 was relatively successful in most regions in South Sulawesi. Entering the regional elections simultaneously in 2015 and 2018, Golkar valued a significant reduction of votes. In some regions, Golkar showed poor performance. Ironically, out of eleven regional elections, Golkar only nominated its candidates in six regions and only won in one region. At present Golkar is facing a serious challenge if it wants to maintain its position in South Sulawesi as the largest base in the region. This qualitative research found the weakening factor of Golkar's power in South Sulawesi in the 2015 simultaneous elections. This factor was the existence of elite factionalization that occurred inside Golkar party after the 2014 presidential election which had an impact on the creation of Golkar internal conflicts and factions in simultaneous elections in South Sulawesi.

  • The Ideological Coalition Model Is the Strategy for Strengthening Presidential Systems in Indonesia
    The Ideological Coalition Model is The Strategy for Strengthening Presidential Systems in Indonesia 1st Restu Rahmawati1, 2nd Firman, Firman2 {[email protected], [email protected]} University of 17 Agustus 1945 Jakarta, Jalan Sunter Permai Raya, North Jakarta1,2 Abstract. This paper examines the impact of implementing an ideological coalition model for strengthening presidential systems in Indonesia. The reason for raising this issue is because the current application of the parliamentary system coalition in the presidential system in Indonesia is causing problems in the legislative body so that the debate in parliament about a government policy is no longer concerned with the interests of the people but rat her that it highlights the opposing attitude of the government. Parliamentary system coalition, if implemented in a presidential system, will only prioritize political interests, so an ideological coalition model is needed. The methodology used is a literature study on the ideology coalition model and the writer will look for aspects of the impact of the ideology coalition model for strengthening presidential systems in Indonesia in this modern democr atic era. The result shows that ideological coalition is needed in the life of the nation and state because ideology is the basis of political party platforms to build a shared vision and mission in organizing the state so that this ideological coalition can strengthen political institutions in the presidential system. Applications of this study can be used for the government, legislative members, teachers, and students. In this research, the model of ideological coalition model for strengthening presidential systems in Indonesia is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.
