Indonesian 2019 presidential election had been really tense. But I'm pretty sure that the 2024 election could be one of the most interesting topic of how democracy is tested to the core.

[@alamkaton]

I would be delighted if the LSE could bring more of Indonesia's topic. A global point of view is good for all of us, as Indonesia has been more and more becoming a key player in the world.

[@MrZooplankton_]

Adu dombanya kayak gimana tuh bang? Bisa jelaskan ke saya?

[@avatar-99]

Prabowo dulu hanya melaksanakan perintah atasannya yaitu presiden suharto.. Jd kami memaafkan masa lalu dia. Jaman sudah berubah, prabowo saat ini berkomitmen akan melanjutkan prgram Jokowi dan pastinya negara yang tidak mempunyai sumber daya alam aka merasa terancam

[@michelle-nm2jk]

INDONESIA 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@yanijuweri4674]

Berita luar negeri utk Pak Gemoy pasti jelek,,, pada takut klo Indonesia dipimpin Pak Gemoy' Indonesia Maju

[@pputra914]

Prabowo win is a win for secularism and pluralism. The other candidate (Anies) is supported by hardline muslim groups and has publicly said unlike jokowi he will “respect freedom of speech” of groups wanting to change the country into islamic sharia state. Indonesian minorities voted overwhelmingly for Prabowo.

[@Ip7-yt6mm]

We need more detailed information so worldwide will know how the politic situation in Indonesia.

[@massupkill4308]

Since 2014 until now we got less prolem😊😊

[@CarloBrando98]

we need more in-depth explanations about the presidential election in our country. As an Indonesian citizen, I am happy that foreign countries are paying attention to the political dynamics in our country. Personally, me and the majority chose Mr. Prabowo purely because of the sustainability program of the previous president, Mr. Jokowi, because in our opinion, what is already good should be continued, does not need to be changed, and what can be improved must be improved, and one of the factors is that the vice presidential candidate is a child. The eldest of Mr. Jokowi, who has a good track record as mayor of the city of Solo, and also has a character who doesn't talk much but gets straight to the point and executes straight away.

[@lyunz]

The thing is from 3 candidate the only right choice from us (most millenials) Is choosing prabowo. Because Anis as president looks fine but the vice president is too tight with his religion , saying "if you dint choose us your religion need to be questioned". The other hand ganjar and mahfud is no brainer selection. Until the political parties is PDI led by megawati, and the past 7 years felt like this country is lead by her not jokowi, even every ministry from comunication,internet ect mostly picked from PDI which is kinda why. Theres a throw back about a lot of thing, one of em is the PSE regulation that became big back then blocked most of the internet service. And couple of month later the minister that regulate this kind of BS got caught doing corruption about 3 million $. Also how over confidence megawati is, sayin jokowi is nothing without them, infront of many people on the politics meeting, basically just point and laught at jokowi. And jokowi just sit there and followed along. (You can find the video anywhere) So yea, thats one of the reason why prabowo is winning, even though its kinda unetchical oickin prsident son as a vice president.

[@Barri2410]

Regarding Ganjar, Megawati, and PDI Perjuangan 1. There has NEVER a single PDI Perjuangan member been appointed as the Minister of Communication and Information, not even Rudiantara who was independent while being better than Plate (who was from NasDem) 2. Even if Megawati take control from the shadow, there has never been a single project for the party. From thousands km of toll roads, dozens of dams and reservoir, airports and harbors, G20 and ASEAN Summit, Asian Games, none are controlled by PDI Perjuangan. They're still better than GolKar during Soeharto era (now supporting Jokowi/Prabowo)

[@franaldo93]

Prabowo ✌️🇮🇩

[@devprac]

you forgot to mention that the oldest son of the current president is also competing for the vice president position in the election. He won altogether with Subianto. What does that mean?

[@bigwrtheone]

Nice insight,. More meaning full for the Indonesian people if john sidel explain more detail why after being in the cabinet prabowo less dangerous and more compromises with the coalition.

[@avatar-99]

Mayoritas rakyat indonesia akan memilih prabowo yg akan meneruskan program hilirisasi yang sudah dibuat Jokowi

[@user-xq3cu7km2g]

indonesia, unity in diversity

[@Loli4lyf]

all in prabowo ✌️🔥🔥

[@lutfilesilolo2070]

Indonesian had voted for their president directly. No other countries can influenced the result💪

[@souldrifter1572]

Bad boy from the 90s 😂… A funny term indeed, but remember there’s an idiom in Chinese: 男人不壞，女人不愛 (Nánrén bù huài, nǚrén bù ài) which roughly means if the boy is not bad, girl would not love 😂😂 So, a bad boy do attract people 😂

[@fn1271]

Asing kyknya ketar ketir bgtt klo prabowo presiden

[@miaw858]

As an Indonesian citizen, I confirm what Prof. John Sidel said.

[@grandongplb]

Fearmongering is the best tactic to control people, you wanna know who's the west fear most? Look at whom they have slandered the most!

[@avatar-99]

Jadi kampanye hitam yg dilakukan media barat tidak berpengaruh untuk rakyat indonesia 😂

[@miloricketts-mason8791]

When is the UK election video coming?

[@deqhiej.rasyid3321]

Ketiga calon ini memang bukan yang terbaik, tetapi banyak yang percaya Prabowo masih lebih baik dibandingkan dua calon yang lain. Karena calon pertama terlalu dekat dengan organisasi Islam garis keras dan calon ketiga tidak memiliki karakteristik sebagai Pemimpin Negara malah hanya sebagai pesuruh partai...😊

[@Barri2410]

> Pesuruh partai "Kalau Pak Ganjar gak mengabdi pada rakyat, _tak kepruk!"_ - Bu Mega ke Pak Ganjar, _Dosa-dosa Ganjar - Kick Andy_

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

heh heh as usual, western media think they know what best for everyone else in the world

[@griyariasaviva917]

Prabowo all in ✌️

[@BOPEENKK]

Ingat saudara2ku siapappun yg terpilih kita harus hormati harmonis dan menjaga persatuan Tetep rukun dan damai Indonesiaku tetep pegang teguh pedoman bangsa Indonesia PANCASILA dan BHINEKA TUNGGAL IKA wajib kita junjung tinggi dan jaga 🙏🇮🇩 AWAS Jangan terpengaruh adu domba asing ingat kita ribut mereka yg diuntungkan👈🤑😋😂

[@brunoheggli2888]

Realy a guy from the Military?Good luck Indonesia!

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

as usual, western media think they know what best for everyone else in the world.

[@kutubukusekali]

Orang barat selalu melihat dari sudut pandangnya sendiri. Masyarakat Indonesia mengerti cara mengatur hidupnya. Lebih baik anda mengaca diri, bangsa barat adalah pelanggar hak asasi terbesar. Sekelas LSE berbicara seperti ini, picik dan memalukan.

[@Barri2410]

Apanya yang "mengerti cara mengatur hidup" Kalau mereka benar dan kita balik ke OrBa, maka hanya masalah waktu bagi para oposisi untuk dihilangkan

[@HainonaIG]

im expecting this to be continued, more thoroughly. 😊

[@brunoheggli2888]

So nothing will realy change,still massiv corruption and a extremly weak stockmarket like the last 10 years!I hope i am wrong!

[@grandongplb]

No a lot has changed, Freeport, American Company that has plunders Papua gold since 1968 have lost it majority of shares to Indonesian government. Indonesian government no longer sell precious raw materials to foreign nations. Indonesia has built a lot of infrastuctures (Road, Freeway, Train Track, Airport, Seaport, etc), Social securities programs have been upgraded. Indonesia has the first bullet train in Southeast Asia, Indonesia recovered very quick from the covid pandemic, etc. No Mister! Things have gotten better these last 10 years!

[@brunoheggli2888]

​@@grandongplbFor me its like you could improve something 5% a year ,and then feel good about yourself because you improved it 1%

[@brunoheggli2888]

​@@grandongplbIndonesia has all the advantage of cheap labor and good demographics,but they do not much with it!Extrem low produtivity!Yes things improving,but way way to slow!If it takes to long the demograph adavantage and low laborcost wont be enough to compeat with the rest of the world

[@brunoheggli2888]

​@@grandongplbIf things going so slow like in Malaysia and Indonesia,then there is even the chance that the Continent Africa will overtake Asean in the next 50 years!

[@brunoheggli2888]

​@@grandongplbI am still invested and hope things getting better but after 15 years hearing always what big potential Indonesia has,and seeing how little accualy is happening,i am disilusionalt!

[@yykinon]

i really need to know how less dangerous prabowo right now is. human rights abuse is severe already, but afaik he's no longer in good relationship with cendana ever since his divorce? and i think cendanas don't favor jokowi that much? jokowi has been trying to take their assets, TMII for example. i need more insights regarding this.

[@Barri2410]

Cendana may already "forgave" him, with his ex-wife recently joined the election and/or his party. On the other hand, Cendana must've know that Prabowo's only _using_ Jokowi, so they would slowly remove Jokowi after retirement.

[@slickimz223]

Prabowo wasnt a saint but he isnt a devil. The best kind of president for Indonesia. Democracy is not regressing, but progressing ✌✌🎉🎉

[@griyariasaviva917]

Prabowo god people

[@ariansyah1244]

O ' nya kurang satu , klo god itu tuhan 😂😂😂😂

[@M_Gilang_Arduta]

Another Conspiracy Again.... You American...

[@elrumi6341]

Ngapain inggris urusin masalah dalam negeri orang?

[@Barri2410]

Sama kayak kita "mengurusi" politik negara lain. Tidak perlu intervensi, tapi harapan dan kekhawatiran di dunia politik itu umum. Kita memperhatikan politik internal negara kayak AS, RRT, Rusia, Turki, dan lainnya. Baik kita maupun mereka punya harapan dan kekhawatiran sendiri-sendiri saat kita saling memperhatikan.

[@AhmadRizwan-vt5ye]

India out

[@TUHANbukanorangARAB]

People think Prabowo Subianto is a sincere gentleman and it is better to have Prabowo Subianto in the office than vote to support Anies Rasyid Baswedan from Yaman.

[@kingcolz]

Such a short and disappointing content without much thoughts or deep analysis from LSE.

[@wawanhermawan-sz7gl]

short ok, but how do you put much thoughts and deep analysis into a 2 minutes video? have you ever tried of creating a 2 minute video?

[@raraHarianto]

Nobody perfect,...When you forgive, you in no way change the past - "but you sure do change the future.” that's why I voted for mr.prabowo-gibran🫰🏻insyaAllah pak gemoy win🇮🇩

[@Barri2410]

Not "can't change the past", the correct one should be "shouldn't forget the past". Yes, Prabowo have done mistake, but he cover/deflect it instead of trying to solve them. He wants us to forget without him trying to solve his mistakes sincerely.
