Is Jokowi Building His Political Family Dynasty In Indonesia? | Insight | Full Episode

I'm Indonesian and I'm embarrassed with political condition in my country

[@SuryaSurya-re3vn]

We have been in downward trajectory in the last 5 years, but sadly the worst is not coming yet! Too many stupid uneducated voters, who voted emotionally rather than logically. Worst president ever. We have lost the opportunity to move up, instead we are moving backwards! I so envy to our Singaporean friend… they absolutely have the best person in the leadership position in PM Lawrence! Time to have a competent contracted president. A 5 year contracted very competent president, offered him/her with very attractive package, probably would be able to lead Indonesia to a better future.

As a Filipino where political dynasties rule the country, I'd like to ask our dear Indonesian neighbors to LOOK AT THE PHILIPPINES. DO YOU GUYS WANNA END UP LIKE THE PHILIPPINES? 🥲 I'm not that familiar with Indonesian politics, all I know is in terms of political dynasties you guys seem to want to compete against the Philippines 😅 I know Indonesia had Sukarno-Megawati and Suharto & son-in-law Prabowo Presidents and then President Jokowi and Vice President Gibran. In the Philippines we had a 2 Macapagal (father-daughter), 2 Aquino (mother-son), and 2 Marcos (father-son) Presidents. We also had a President Duterte and his daughter Vice President Duterte, a President Laurel and his son Vice President Laurel. Currently with President Marcos: his son is a Congressman, his 2 cousins are Mayors and another cousin is the Speaker of the House of Representatives while the wife of said cousin is a Congresswoman. President Marcos' sister is a Senator and the son of said sister is a Governor. Currently our 24 person Senate has 2 sets of siblings and 1 set of parent-child Senators. Our current House of Representatives has several sets of relatives and a lot of our Representatives have relatives who are also in politics in their Provinces, Cities or Towns. So, what I'm saying to our Indonesian friends is don't make your dynasty situation as worse as the Philippines. I admit some of them can be good leaders but there are more negatives than positives about them............and I don't know why most Filipinos keep on electing dynasties.

[@harrps-n2e]

As an Indonesian who previously worked and lived in Singapore, I must highlight the stark contrast in political dynasties between Singapore under PM Lee Kuan Yew and President Jokowi. Lee Hsien Loong assumed Singapore's PM position 14 years after his father stepped down, during which he prepared himself through parliamentary roles and ministerial responsibilities, not to mention he took public policy degree from Harvard. Today, Singapore demonstrates a balance of dynasty (power) and meritocracy (talent) in its democracy and policy making. In contrast, Gibran rose to Vice Presidential candidacy shortly after serving two years as Mayor of Solo while Kaesang became a party leader (PSI) without political background. President Joko Widodo and his close circle have been criticized for using their power to manipulate the constitution which worsens the already corrupted system and mentality. This imbalance prioritizes power over competence. Leadership positions in government are (as always) being filled with people lacking competence. And yes, the country continues to grow despite decades of corruption in its system and policies, largely due to its resilient population. However, this should not be interpreted as acceptance or tolerance of a corrupt system.

[@chase14000]

I'd like to add that Gibran, now the vice president of Indonesia, graduated from university with a GPA of 2.3

[@abcddef2112]

Bwahaha Singaporean exceptionalism apparently is contagious, always thinking themselves as a special case above other SEA.

Mostly chose Prabowo without really take Gibran as a major factor. He's just piggy backing Prabowo's wave. He's too young and unnecessarily pushed by Jokowi's inner circle (with his approval for sure) to join the ballot. Hopefully the country can have better candidates on the next election.

[@dhanang]

Nah, it was Prabowo who chose Gibran because the leaders of the coalition parties wouldn't agree on a single name coming from inside the parties themselves and it had been deadlock for months. When Gibran name was presented as an alternative, all parties agreed. Remember, up until March 2023, Jokowi still had a plan to pair Prabowo & Ganjar as his successor by asking both to accompany him on a visit to a harvest festival in Kebumen as a symbol of support to the public/media. But that plan crumbled when Megawati announced Ganjar as presidential candidate from PDIP in April, making it impossible for him to run as the pair of Prabowo. So, Jokowi didn't even think about pushing his son to run for presidential election up until 6 months before the application day.

@@thegrandlord2914 while that's the popular opinion but actually it's not true. jokowi didn't create the dynasty, it's indonesia's buttlicking culture which creates it. people elected jokowi's son and in law to be mayors or political leader, not jokowi giving them jobs on silver plate. that's because there are a lot of buttlickers who want to advance their political career by enabling such system or culture. prabowo persuaded his son to run for VP and jokowi's new brother in law changed election law, not the doing of jokowi himself. and most indonesians couldn't see the difference. similarly, it's not suharto who was evil or racist, but it's suhartoism which was evil or racist. in essence, it's the system that surrounds incumbent leader which enables such nepotism, not the leader himself. or to give you comparison, it's not joe biden who was evil and is enabler of g-nocide in gaza, but it's the system that runs american politics that does it.

Menurut saya anda mungkin kurang memahami politik Singapura. Sistem Singapura jelas berbeda sistem dengan Indonesia, republik presidensial dan parlementer. Demokrasi Singapura berbeda dengan Indonesia, cara pemilihan presiden (dan PM) di Singapura itu-pun berbeda dengan Indonesia (silakan baca Konstitusi Singapura), masa jabatan, berikut juga dengan perubahan-perubahannya. Contoh, apakah ada perubahan mendadak karena seorang pemimpin yang sedang di kantor ingin mengajukan anaknya? Dan silakan pahami juga kebijakan pers Singapura, bagaimana kebebasan pers-nya dibandingkan Indonesia secara konstitusi tertulis dan realita pelaksanaannya.

The Philippines? It's a long list but we have the basics: Diosdado Macapagal and Gloria Arroyo, Cory Aquino and Noynoy Aquino, Fidel Ramos is the cousin of Ferdinand Marcos. (because of Angela Marcos Valdez, first cousin of Mariano, father of Ferdinand) And of course, BBM is Eddie's nephew (Fidel's nickname is Eddie) and he's Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Look at the ₱500 banknote. Cory and Ninoy with signature of Marcos. OUCH!

Only a fool says it's a coincidence.

The only reason the Jogya Sultanate was spared is because they subjugated to Soekarno. Jogya also had no substantial wealth or natural resources, like Sumatra and Kalimantan.

As an alumnus of the Yogyakarta Indonesian Institute of the Arts, I felt sad hearing the opinions of two Gen Z students from the Institute. They have smartphones. They can find information about what the New Order is, why the PS continues to be held accountable for committing human rights violations, and how a Nepo-Baby (read: GRR) can easily become a vice presidential candidate because of the intervention of his father as an active president. as well as his uncle's role in the Constitutional Court. But what else? They may only get information from TikTok, and the information they receive is misleading information created by buzzers who PS and GRR pay.

Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a conversational tactic where someone responds to an accusation of wrongdoing by pointing out a similar or worse offense committed by another party. Instead of addressing the original accusation directly, they shift the focus to someone else’s misconduct. Essentially, it’s a way to deflect criticism by saying, "What about this other thing?"
