Latest Podcast

Independent and lucid analysis of Indonesian politics, policymaking, justice, and economics featuring Kevin O’Rourke and Erin Cook. The podcasts incorporate exclusive interviews with experts and draws on content from the Reformasi Weekly reports, produced for subscribers since 2003.
Student protesters returned again to the HI Roundabout and faced off with police in an orderly but eminently civil manner, with fire haze at the forefront. The MSCI calamity is still roiling the market, as Danantara's CIO Pandu Sjahrir emerged as a shareholder in a securities firm complicit, allegedly, in fraudulent trading. And KPK investigators are taking aim, ominously, at alleged tobacco-excise tax malfeasance on the part of Djarum — the cigarette producer with the same owners as BCA (coincidence?). BCA remains the object of takeover rumors since the seemingly hostile and state-abetted acquisition of shares in Bayan Resources by Haji Isam's Jhonlin Group. Also: rhetoric-slinging from Indonesian officials and former officials on Singapore.
