        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2014 The Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment\nManagement Agency (BPI Danantara) is beginning to reform workplace\nculture at state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Danantara Chief Operating\nOfficer Dony Oskaria said the initiative is part of a transformation of\nhuman resources and corporate culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNext year, we will start focusing on people and corporate culture.\nOnce the companies are a little more established, we will begin\nintroducing a new corporate culture,\u201d he said at the Wisma Danantara\nbuilding on Monday (26 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Dony stressed that one measure is to restrict what he considers\nexcessive use of personal aides and close protection or police escorts\n(patwal) by SOE management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou may not have noticed, but there is now a change taking place in\nSOE management. We are already seeing fewer excessive numbers of aides\nand police escorts; we have issued a ban. They can no longer use them,\nbecause fundamentally we are government employees,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said limiting benefits for management is one way to foster\nprofessionalism at state-owned companies. SOE executives are essentially\ngovernment employees, he said, and should not enjoy excessive\nposition-related privileges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not a position to boast about and enjoy excessively,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Dony said the rules cover several aspects of management benefits and\nconduct, including the use of aides and escorts, as well as requirements\nfor air travel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou may not have noticed, but we have issued rules,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the rules are intended to ensure SOE management performs its\nduties professionally and does not use its position as a reason to enjoy\nexcessive benefits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is allowed and what is not, including how people should travel\nby air, right through to aides and police escorts. We want all SOE\nmanagement to be truly professional. These are the stages we are\ncarrying out,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
