Hello reader,

Two days from today will be exactly 80 years since this country was founded. Through peaks and troughs, we have survived, and some might even dare to say we have thrived.

Live long and prosper, Indonesia.

As expected, the spotlight is on President Prabowo in this edition, as he delivered the State of the Nation address and the 2026 State Budget today. We pick out some of the most important points.

Enjoy the long weekend, and I’ll be back on Tuesday.

Cheers,

Andra
