Supporting Government Programmes, FMJM Jember to Bring 7 Demands to Jakarta
The Forum Masyarakat Jember Maju (FMJM) together with the Pandalungan community of Jember Regency will hold an action titled ‘Jaga Jakarta, Jaga Indonesia’ in Jakarta on 27 August 2026. The action is a form of FMJM support for government programmes.
Action coordinator for Jaga Jakarta Jaga Indonesia in Jember Regency, Kamiludin, said the movement was born from the awareness that Jakarta is one of the centres of government, the economy and national life. Therefore, keeping Jakarta safe, orderly, peaceful and conducive is part of the effort to safeguard Indonesia as a whole.
“The Forum Masyarakat Jember Maju views that national development requires stability, unity and active public participation. The administration of President Prabowo Subianto is currently carrying out various national transformation agendas through Asta Cita, the government’s priority programmes, strengthening the people’s economy, food and energy security, downstreaming, human resource development, and improving public welfare,” Kamiludin said in a written statement on Monday (24/8/2026).
“The government has also established a Task Force for the Acceleration of Government Programmes to Support Increased Economic Growth through Presidential Decree Number 4 of 2026 as part of efforts to accelerate strategic programmes and strengthen the people’s economy. Therefore, the public should not merely be spectators of development. The public must be part of the solution and help create an atmosphere that allows development to proceed safely, democratically and sustainably,” he continued.
He explained that the action is not an attempt to close off space for criticism. Rather, it is also an effort to convey aspirations and exercise social control in a democratic and lawful manner.
“Support for the government does not mean closing off space for criticism. On the contrary, the public still has the right to convey aspirations and exercise social control constructively in accordance with democratic and legal corridors,” he said.
“We, the Forum Masyarakat Jember Maju and the Pandalungan community of Jember Regency, will depart for Jakarta on 27 August 2026 to directly oversee the National Movement ‘Jaga Jakarta, Jaga Indonesia’,” he added.
The following are the demands of the Forum Masyarakat Jember Maju to be brought to Jakarta on 27 August 2026.
