1. Student Protests Against Government Policies Erupt in Yogyakarta, Banner Declares 'People Are Angry'
Thousands of students joining the Jogja Memanggil activist coalition marched and delivered speeches denouncing the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto and the Red and White Cabinet on Thursday, February 20, 2025. Not only did they disrupt traffic flow in the Malioboro area, but the demonstrators also proceeded to surround the Yogyakarta State Palace, which was heavily guarded by military and police personnel.
During the demonstration in front of the Yogyakarta State Palace, the protesters unfurled a large banner bearing the message "The People are Angry, Okay Gas Ndasmu, the People are Sovereign" and "Disband the Red and White Cabinet". The banner featured caricatured faces resembling prominent state figures, depicted with devilish horns.
2. Luhut Projects US$25 Billion Profit from Indonesia's Danantara Fund
Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, chairperson of the National Economic Council (DEN), believed that Indonesia's Sovereign Wealth Fund, Danantara, has the potential to generate profits of up to US$25 billion, or approximately Rp408.5 trillion at an exchange rate of Rp16,340.
Luhut claimed that Danantara is a strategic initiative by President Prabowo Subianto. "Looking at Danantara, with its assets of US$900 billion, if we assume we can manage just US$200 billion, that's incredibly significant," he stated at the Economic Outlook 2025 event held in the SCBD area, South Jakarta, on Thursday, February 20, 2025. "From a profit perspective, we can easily generate funds, around US$20-25 billion, allowing us to invest independently."
