Election for the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chairman turned heated. The Palace’s alleged support for one of the candidates puts pressures on voters.

Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Chair Firli Bahuri allegedly already created a list of employees to be dismissed in November 2020. It is suspected that he pressured other KPK leaders to approve the civic knowledge test and inserted an article on it into KPK’s regulation. The dismissal of 75 employees was the final step in the complete disabling of the anti-corruption agency. 

Online sexual violence does not only target adult women, but also adolescents. Despite the rising number of cases each year, there is still scant protection for victims. Perpetrators sell sexual extortion videos to pornography platforms on the Internet, reaping hundreds of millions of rupiah.

Millions of Indonesians are betting trillions of rupiah on cryptocurrency. Unpredictable fluctuations do not seem to deter those hoping to make quick profit.

Several correctional facilities are prioritizing the religious approach to rehabilitate drug convicts. Rehabilitation has become crucial in the effort to reduce the country’s drug inmates. Ideally, only drug kingpins and dealers are put behind bars.

Various peculiarities appeared in the nationalism test for KPK employees. As many as 75 people who did not pass the test are said to have already been targeted. KPK leadership is suspected of inserting an article on the nationalism test into KPK’s regulations.
