A number of problematic individuals are appointed to Prabowo Subianto’s cabinet. It will be difficult for the government to be effective in its first one or two years.
Prabowo Subianto appointed ministers and deputy ministers with problematic backgrounds in his cabinet. Several of them are closely associated with businessman Haji Isam.
The new ministries and agencies established by Prabowo Subianto cannot operate immediately. Some lack office space, have tight budgets, and are short on staff. The authority of the Haj and Umrah Organizing Agency even violates the law.
How did Prabowo Subianto decide on the composition of his cabinet? There are indications that several prospective ministers were proposed by tycoons.
Prabowo Subianto formed a large cabinet to accommodate the interests of parties, businessmen, and his supporters. Mining entrepreneur Haji Isam is suspected of proposing several ministerial candidates.

Instead of maintaining the ethics of statehood, electoral considerations are the main reason ministers are leaving or staying on in the cabinet. Pivotal was Mahfud Md’s case.

Mahfud Md. finally resigned from the cabinet. Several other ministers intend to follow suit because they are unwilling to support Jokowi’s dynasty.
Prabowo and Gibran’s electability rates started stalling in November 2023. In several regions, support for Prabowo is eroded by the Anies-Muhaimin ticket.

Hugo Hans Siblesz did not deny that the result of the South China Sea arbitration, facilitated by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA), has turned the Philippines and China's relationship sour. On July 12, the tribunal ruled in favor of the Philippines and denied China's claim on the area, based on the United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Although China has rejected the result, Siblesz said, "It is legally binding." But the PCA does not only solve disputes through the tribunal. Siblez, who has headed the PCA since 2012, explained that parties can resolve their issues through reconciliation, mediation or fact-finding. "The Permanent Court of Arbitration is a platform," he said. Siblesz spoke to Tempo journalists Natalia Santi, Mahardika Satria Hadi, Sukma Loppies and Amanda Siddharta during his visit to Jakarta two weeks ago. Excerpts:

HE was once a minister and vice president in previous cabinets, so Jusuf Kalla can be considered a veteran executive with substantial flying time. His long experience has been his asset.

JK-as he is familiarly addressed-cited many serious problems faced by Indonesia in the five years ahead, especially given the decline in many of the economic sectors.
