JAKARTA — Supporters of Indonesia's Prabowo Subianto are celebrating his likely ascent to the presidency, but for Paian Siahaan it is a painful reminder of his missing son and the man he blames for his disappearance in 1998.
Indeed, Prabowo promised as much when articulating his foreign policy on the campaign trail. During a November talk at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies think tank in Jakarta, Prabowo told the audience Indonesia would “maintain our independent foreign policy”, saying the country would not join any military or geopolitical bloc while preserving good relations with all of its neighbours.
JAKARTA -- The results of Wednesday's presidential election in Indonesia will shift the political landscape in Southeast Asia's largest economy, with one analyst saying a power battle between Prabowo Subianto, who has claimed victory, and incumbent leader Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has begun.
JAKARTA -- Indonesians cast their ballots Wednesday to choose the successor to Joko "Jokowi" Widodo in the world's largest direct presidential vote.
JAKARTA -- Prabowo Subianto is on track to win Indonesia's presidential election, quick-count results from major pollsters showed, with the defense minister having a significant lead over his two rivals in Wednesday's vote and likely to gain a majority.
JAKARTA - Indonesia has seen many faces of Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto over his decades in the public eye - the cheshire grin that accompanies his recent viral dance moves, flashes of his temper in fervent orations and the humiliation when he was dismissed from the military in 1998.
