After being inaugurated as Indonesia's eighth president, Prabowo Subianto kicked off his leadership with a militaristic boot camp with his cabinet, which raised concerns given Indonesia's recent democratic history. Analysts have criticized his initial 100 days in office as chaotic, with contradictory policies and a lack of clear direction. Popular for his promise of free meals to millions of school children and pregnant women, Prabowo's administration has faced scrutiny over abrupt policy changes and blunders, indicating potential challenges ahead for Indonesia's democracy.
The government seems to be lacking in discipline, with most of the policies half baked. This is one of the most chaotic first 100 days I have seen.
Prabowo's leadership has been described as haphazard, contradictory, and lacking clear direction, leading to muddled policymaking under Indonesia's new leader.
A striking look for the world's third-largest democracy, the military-style boot camp reflects Prabowo Subianto's background yet contrasts with the nation's recent democratic progress.
Prabowo gained widespread popularity with promises of free meals to school children and pregnant women, but his government has seen a series of policy U-turns.
