        "summary": "Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya has criticised the proliferation of self-proclaimed experts who disseminate inaccurate data and opinions outside their expertise, a phenomenon he terms \"expert inflation.\" He pointed out that despite their influence attempts, public trust remains firmly with President Prabowo, as evidenced by over 96 million citizens' preference for his leadership over these commentators. While affirming the government's openness to democratic criticism, Teddy cautioned against statements that foster unnecessary public anxiety.",

What is it? There is something called expert inflation. So\nthere are many experts,\u201d said Cabinet Secretary Teddy when met at the\nPresidential Palace Press Room in Jakarta on Friday (10\/4\/2026). \u201cAnd\nthese experts\u2019 data does not match the facts, their data is incorrect,\u201d\nhe added. Teddy explained that these experts speak on topics not aligned\nwith their expertise. \u201cThere are rice experts but their background is\nnot in that field, there are military experts, there are foreign affairs\nexperts,\u201d said Teddy. Teddy further noted that if observed, most of\nthese experts have long existed to influence society. \u201cBut what are the\nfacts? The facts are that more than 96 million citizens trust Pak\nPrabowo more, they do not trust them. That is concrete evidence of\npublic trust, not just an assumption,\u201d Teddy clarified. Furthermore,\nTeddy emphasised that the government is not against criticism. As a\ndemocratic nation, differences in views and opinions are normal.\nHowever, such statements should not lead to anxiety.<\/p>",
