Despite being registered as general manager at PT MDF, LL has been overseeing operations at partner firm CV TJA for the past four months, prompting coordination with local labour authorities to verify his employment status. This case underscores Indonesia's commitment to stricter oversight of foreign activities to safeguard national sovereignty and public security, especially given LL's prior deportation in 2017.

The Indonesian government is proposing an increase in the Maximum Retail Price (HET) for MinyaKita cooking oil in response to rising global crude palm oil (CPO) prices, which have surged due to geopolitical tensions driving demand for biodiesel alternatives. Trade Minister Budi Santoso's proposal, discussed in a coordination meeting led by Coordinating Minister Zulkifli Hasan, requires joint calculations involving oversight bodies before implementation, as the current HET of Rp15,700 per litre has remained unchanged for over three years.

The Malacca Strait, a vital artery for global trade carrying 25-30% of maritime commerce including 80% of China's crude oil imports, faces significant vulnerabilities from potential asymmetric conflicts in the South China Sea or Taiwan Strait, which could disrupt economic supplies worldwide akin to the 2021 Suez Canal blockage. Escalating tensions involving China, the US, and claimant nations like Vietnam and the Philippines could lead to blockades, mirroring Iran's tactics in the Strait of Hormuz during recent conflicts, resulting in oil shortages and logistical crises. Regional nations must prioritise multilateral and bilateral diplomacy to safeguard the strait and prevent such contingencies from undermining global economic stability.

The Central Papua Public Works and Spatial Planning Office has begun foundation drilling for three iconic towers comprising the new government centre, allocated a budget of Rp388 billion.

TPNPB-OPM spokesperson Sebby Sambom stated that the executions were carried out by the Cannibal Battalion of Kodap XVI Yahukimo on 20 and 21 April 2026, vowing to resist all TNI military operations in Papua. The group holds the Indonesian government, from the head of state to military commanders, accountable for the civilian casualties.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has proposed limiting political party chairmen to a maximum of two terms to ensure effective cadre development, highlighting the lack of integrated standards in party governance. This suggestion comes amid observations that some leaders have held positions for decades, potentially hindering internal rotations. Among the longest-serving are Megawati Soekarnoputri of PDI-P with 26 years and Muhaimin Iskandar of PKB since 2005, underscoring the need for such reforms in Indonesia's political landscape.

The United States is reportedly discussing the relocation of approximately 1,100 Afghan refugees, including 400 children, from a former US military base in Qatar to the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, a plan criticised by advocacy group AfghanEvac as a ploy to force their return to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. This comes amid President Trump's recent halt to Afghan refugee resettlement programmes following a shooting incident involving an Afghan national, with the camp in Qatar set to close by 31 March 2025. The proposal has raised concerns over the safety of these former US allies, many of whom served as interpreters and military support staff, highlighting ongoing challenges in US immigration policy towards Afghan evacuees.

Indonesia's Foreign Minister Sugiono has emphasised that national sovereignty and interests will be prioritised in any discussions regarding blanket overflight access for US military aircraft through Indonesian airspace. The proposal, stemming from a recent meeting between Presidents Prabowo Subianto and Donald Trump, remains non-binding and is under internal review, with assurances that it poses no threat to Indonesia's sovereignty amid global tensions. This reflects Indonesia's commitment to its free and active foreign policy principles in navigating international military cooperation.

A protest against East Kalimantan Governor Rudy Mas’ud's policies turned violent outside the governor's office, prompting Golkar deputy chairman Ahmad Doli Kurnia to defend the governor as open to dialogue and low-profile.

Indonesia's Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has announced that the government will hold off on introducing new taxes or increasing existing rates until there is a significant recovery in household purchasing power and overall economic conditions, aiming to protect economic momentum. The decision will be guided by multiple indicators such as growth rates approaching the 6% target and consumer confidence surveys, rather than a single metric. This cautious approach comes amid steady tax revenue growth of 20.7% year-on-year to Rp394.8 trillion by March 2026, while proposals like VAT on toll roads will undergo thorough review before implementation.

The Indonesian government's new regulation, Permendagri No. 11 of 2026, equates vehicle tax for electric vehicles like the BYD M6 with petrol cars, potentially eliminating current tax incentives for EVs and increasing their annual costs by around Rp 1.2 million compared to hybrids like the Toyota Veloz. While the Veloz Hybrid benefits from free maintenance for three years and widespread refuelling infrastructure, the BYD M6 offers advantages such as exemption from Jakarta's odd-even traffic restrictions, but its operational edge depends on regional incentives. This policy shift could make hybrids more cost-effective for long-distance travel unless local governments maintain EV subsidies, impacting the growing market for eco-friendly family vehicles.
