Prabowo Subianto: I Promise To Bring Change And Implement Clean Governance

Prabowo Subianto. Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto feels that he believes that he will bring about the changes that people want and implement clean governance, which will remain business-friendly and can advance the standard of living of ordinary people.

"They are fed up with corruption. Everything is excessive. They see injustice, they see they do not have access to basic rights, clean water, a good health system, good education ... there is no hope for Indonesia's young generation, "said Prabowo.

At the gala dinner held by The Economist publisher in Singapore on Tuesday, Prabowo made the pledge. Also attended by Nurul Izzah, part of the Malaysian parliament and Anthony Tan, one of the founders of Grab, who will be the speaker.

The day before, Prabowo had met with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore. They discussed how the two countries could strengthen relations, Lee said.

The campaign for the April 2019 presidential election is getting hotter. Prabowo and Sandiaga Uno are facing candidates for detention Joko Widodo and his deputy candidate, cleric Ma'ruf Amin.

Prabowo-Sandiaga often criticized the Jokowi government, for raising prices for consumer goods and directing their campaign to extortion of wealth.

They also took a more nationalist approach to Chinese investment in Indonesia. Prabowo-Sandiaga also explained, even though they received foreign assistance to grow Indonesia's infrastructure poorly, it would certainly bring benefits to the country and its people.

As a matter of fact, there is already a fear of a "debt trap" thanks to the billions of dollars in aid that Indonesia has obtained from China. Not to mention the issue that states, most of the workers from China are illegal migrants.

Meanwhile, although Jokowi has maintained a clean reputation, corruption continues to undermine the political and business circles in Indonesia.

Last year, in Transparency International which carried out the Corruption Perception Index, Indonesia had a value of 37 and from 180 countries was ranked 96. The assessment was: for very corrupt countries and 100 for the least corrupt country was point 0.

As a consideration, with a value of 89 New Zealand was in the top of the list, with a value of 84 Singapore in the order of 6 and with a value of 47 Malaysia in the order of 62.

The Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission, KPK, has leaked some high-level individuals in recent months, but analysts explain that they don't need to throw the net as wide as they should.

"The need to compromise with the older generation of political elites in Indonesia has made Jokowi's previously brilliant anti-corruption credentials have suffered several blows in his tenure," said Hugo Brennan, senior Asian political analyst at Verisk Maplecroft, told Bloomberg.

"Eradicating corruption by the KPK will not jeopardize the possibility of Jokowi's re-election, as long as there are no allies in his government caught in the scandal ahead of the election," he continued.

Then on the sidelines of the event, Prabowo vowed to make "a team consisting of the smartest and best Indonesian children, who have high integrity and will not be corrupted."

However, a poll in September said that Jokowi's detention had 60.2 percent support for the inspection, carried out by Saiful Mujani Research and Consulting (SMRC) compared to 28.7 percent for Prabowo.

Even so, Prabowo remains confident, seeing massive changes after the 1MDB scandal in the Malaysian government this year. "So there can be a peaceful reform, there can be a peaceful change through the ballot box," he explained.

Regarding the peaceful transition experienced by Malaysia after the May 9 election, Nurul Izzah, 38, also spoke. After going on for 60 years the election ended the reign of the Barisan Nasional coalition led by Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is now facing various kinds of money laundering allegations.

Nurul Izzah, the daughter of Anwar Ibrahim, the Prime Minister who is awaiting her turn and Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who is currently deputy prime minister, said that Malaysia was home to one of the biggest kleptocractic scandals, and said people felt nauseous at 1MDB. This can also affect inflation.

Referring to the judiciary, the rule of law, and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, Nurul Izzah said in front of 200 spectators: "There is so much control held by the Prime Minister's Office, that it is very difficult to examine the advantages in government ... and there must also be system reform which we initiated if we don't want to see 1MDB 2.0. "

Nurul Izzah explained in front of 200 spectators by pointing to judicial, legal rules, and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. "There is so much controlwhich is held by the Prime Minister's Office, so it is very difficult to check the strength of the government ... and there must also be system reform that we initiate if we don't want to see 1MDB 2.0.
