Indonesia commissions first aircraft carrier, KRI Sriwijaya, in major military upgrade

Indonesia has officially received its first aircraft carrier, the former Italian vessel Giuseppe Garibaldi, renamed KRI Sriwijaya. The 41-year-old ship, which can carry 18 helicopters and 830 personnel, was gifted by Italy to avoid decommissioning costs. While President Prabowo Subianto emphasizes its use for disaster relief across the archipelago, the acquisition signals a broader push to modernize Indonesia’s military capabilities.

Indonesia’s Free-Meal Program Hit by Fresh Food-Poisoning Scandal Across Provinces

More than 800 Indonesian students and teachers fell ill this week after eating free meals linked to President Prabowo Subianto’s government program, with cases in Sidoarjo and Nganjuk (East Java) and Agam (West Sumatra). Hundreds were hospitalised; reports included maggots in tempeh and glass shards in rice, prompting kitchen suspensions. Officials say poisoning cases are a tiny fraction of the more than a billion meals served, while critics call it a systemic failure amid ongoing controversy over corruption, leadership changes, and budget strain. The program, launched last year to tackle malnutrition, remains in place with pledges of reforms.

"Prabowo Subianto: Indonesia's New President and Global Implications"

Prabowo Subianto, a wealthy ex-general with ties to Indonesia's outgoing president and its dictatorial past, is set to become the country's next leader. While promising to continue popular policies, concerns about his human rights record and ties to the brutal Suharto dictatorship linger. Subianto's win is not yet official, but unofficial tallies show him leading in a three-way race. Born into one of Indonesia's most powerful families, he has faced allegations of human rights abuses, including during Indonesia's occupation of Timor-Leste. His election leaves observers uncertain about the country's future growth and democracy.

"Prabowo Subianto's Victory and Indonesia's Democracy"

Former general Prabowo Subianto, linked to past human rights abuses, claimed victory in Indonesia's presidential election, raising questions about the country's commitment to democratic values. Unofficial tallies show Subianto with 57-59% of the votes, but official results are pending. The election also carries implications for the US and China due to Indonesia's economic and diplomatic influence.
