JAKARTA intelligence observer Doni Isyanto assessed that President Prabowo Subianto's meeting with several major Indonesian businessmen was part of anticipating potential resistance from parties who felt threatened by corruption eradication policies.

The meeting between President Prabowo and businessmen was held in the middle of the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) investigating the corruption case of crude oil governance and Cooperation Contract Contractors (KKKS) for the period 2018-2023.

Therefore, this meeting raises political speculation, especially regarding allegations that the proceeds from corruption will be used to create economic and political turmoil, including efforts to overthrow Prabowo.

"As a four-star general, Prabowo must have taken into account all risks in every policy taken, including and not limited to the resistance that will be carried out by corruptors," said Doni, Sunday, March 9, 2025.

He suspected that through the meeting, Prabowo asked entrepreneurs to help Indonesia achieve economic independence, as well as to warn entrepreneurs who have been reaping profits from doing business in Indonesia, but instead prefer to invest their products abroad.

"When the Indonesian people need support, such an attitude can lead to serious consequences. Prabowo will also certainly provide guarantees of business protection to conglomerates. However, there are conditions that must be met, namely a commitment to continue investing and creating jobs in the country," he explained.

Doni emphasized that Prabowo's move was seen as a strong signal that his government would not tolerate business practices that harm the state and show a firm stance in dealing with potential economic and political disturbances that could arise from major corruption cases.
