Shall Indonesia Celebrate Prabowo S Victory


 


I am greatly disturbed by a slew of bewildering Western news on Indonesia’s presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto.
Generally speaking, any news from the Western media is often taken with a pinch of salt.
Nevertheless, when a media like Democracy Now critically examines Prabowo’s victory, a person like me who has been consistently following this media - especially on the armed conflict in Gaza - is consumed by a dilemma to simply ignore its media coverage and treat it as mere Western propaganda.
After all, Democracy Now has often been universally hailed as a reliable and trusted media.
Recently, Democracy Now interviewed Allan Nairn. Nairn is a well-known American investigative journalist and he was imprisoned by Indonesian military forces under United States-backed strongman Suharto while reporting in East Timor.
Prabowo, Nairn argues, used to claim that Indonesia was not ready for democracy as the country, according to Prabowo, needed a benign authoritarian regime.
Pak Anies, the dark horse
Truth be told, I really don’t know what to say or comment. One thing is for sure: Prabowo is definitely not my favourite candidate. I was hoping for Anies Baswedan to win.
Anies was a former successful Jakarta governor who managed to transform Jakarta into a beautiful city worth visiting.
Indonesia presidential candidate Anies BaswedanIn the 14th presidential election, Pak Anies - as he is affectionately known - is often treated as a dark horse who intends to pursue what he calls a “value-based foreign policy” if he becomes Indonesia’s next leader.
In the Western media, Prabowo has been incessantly painted as a longtime US protégé who was allegedly implicated in the country’s bloody massacres.
He was once mused by Nairn to become “a fascist dictator” and is now treated as a serious threat to assume the presidency.
Anyway, the voters in Indonesia have “spoken” via the ballot box. Ergo, it is a “democratic victory” according to the Western definition of democracy.
Be that as it may, we badly need to respect the vox populi - at least for the time being. - Mkini
