Hoax: Limited meeting concludes Indonesia is in a state of emergency – Alert Level 1

Jakarta (ANTARA/JACX) – A post on YouTube claims that the results of a limited government meeting stated that Indonesia is in a state of emergency with Alert Level 1 status. The post also narrates that President Prabowo Subianto ordered the gathering of the Minister of Defence and all military generals due to a major threat against Indonesia.

The following is the narrative in the post:

“PRESIDENT PRABOWO DECLARES A STATE OF EMERGENCY!

CALLS FOR THE MINISTER OF DEFENCE & ALL MILITARY GENERALS

ALERT LEVEL 1! A MAJOR THREAT TO INDONESIA IS IMMINENT!”

However, is it true that Indonesia is in a state of emergency – Alert Level 1?

Explanation:

Based on research, no information or official statements from the government or credible media outlets were found stating that the results of the limited government meeting declared Indonesia to be in a state of emergency with Alert Level 1 status.

A Google Lens search shows that the image in the post is identical to an official Instagram post by the Secretary of State of the Republic of Indonesia regarding a limited meeting led by President Prabowo Subianto in Hambalang on Saturday, May 2, 2026.

In the meeting, the government discussed developments in several national strategic issues to ensure that policy directions remain aligned with objectives. Some of the topics discussed include aspirations from labour unions from various regions in Indonesia and the education sector regarding optimizing the role of universities in regional development, especially through the contribution of engineering faculties at each campus.

In addition, the State Secretariat also did not mention any meeting decisions stating that Indonesia is in a state of emergency or Alert Level 1 status.

Therefore, the claim that the results of the limited government meeting stated that Indonesia is in a state of emergency – Alert Level 1 is false information or a hoax.
