Hello reader,

President Prabowo is somebody who prides himself as being fiercely anti-corruption. So his decision to pardon two corruption convicts, seemingly for political leverage, has done a lot to damage that reputation.

Whether or not Thomas Lembong and Hasto Kristiyanto deserve jail time, Prabowo’s intervention sets a dangerous precedent in the country’s continued struggle against corruption. Read on for more on this significant development in Indonesian politics.

Until next week!

Cheers,

Andra
