        "content": "<p>Anies Baswedan: The former Governor of DKI Jakarta, said that in the\ncurrent conditions the public and the market need certainty, not\nproblems that are hidden. This was conveyed by Anies regarding the\ncurrent economic situation which he believes is not in good shape. \u2018In a\nsituation like this, the one thing that the market and the public need\nmost is certainty. Not false calm, not problems sugar-coated, but\ncertainty that arises from transparency and honesty, from a clear\ndirection, from a government that knows where this nation is being\ntaken,\u2019 he said on his Instagram account <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"aniesbaswedan\">@aniesbaswedan<\/span>, Wednesday (20 May\n2026). Kompas.com has obtained confirmation from Anies\u2019 team regarding\nthe quotation of the uploaded video. \u2018Data are selectively shown, only\nthe good are displayed, the bad are hidden,\u2019 he said. In fact, according\nto Anies, the rupiah has fallen to an all-time low, causing prices to\nrise. He also touched on shrinking job opportunities, weakening\npurchasing power, and the impact on the livelihoods of many. \u2018Even one\nheavy test is hard; when several come at once, the burden multiplies,\u2019\nAnies added. Anies also highlighted comments by state officials that are\nconsidered to look flippant as they observe the crisis before their\neyes.<\/p>",
