Indonesia Defence Forum

Very good indeed, much better than Papua New Guinea with Australia according to them. Their government have been supporting Indonesian cause over several issue regarding Papua cases in several regional forum in Pacific. Indonesia too, right now trying to giving more clout in Papua New Guinea with investment, grants and military aid, soft loan for their government and etc.

But one must taking a notes, in Papua New Guinea there is exist some factions who trying to get the the seat in government. And sometimes their taking their own actions and bringing harm in diplomatic way between Indonesia government and Papua New Guinea government, one of their actions is like supporting OPM in Papua, sometimes their controlled military units goes stray and doing shooting into Indonesian border or burning Indonesian fisherman vessels they've captured. And it was a headache for both of government.
 
If Indonesia were to raise the defense expenditure to 3%, that would bring it to around $25 Billion per year. :)



I want Indonesia to have one of the largest, most modern, most powerful navy in Southeast Asia. I think that she will be a guarantor of peace and stability in the South Pacific, and a relatively peaceful nation. I want Japan to invest more into this country, help develop her energy industry, manufacturing arm as well as foster greater people-to-people relations. Japan should also invest in a R&D partnership with Indonesia.

Hope so.. But How? we are poor and corrupt

meh poor and corrupt is relative. As corrupt as Indonesia, there is much other countries in the list who is much more Corrupt than us, Russian is more corrupt than Indonesia but yet no other countries in the world will giving a doubt about their military strength . Pakistan and Vietnam is much poorer than Indonesia when we are talking about GDP and income per-capita yet they can giving a credible defense expenditure relative to their economies performance. How about Egypt? Turkey? Your excuse is not gonna work there.

Our Anti Corruption Commission is the most successful one in the entire Asia, progress is so positive to change the trend into a more clean governance. And we can easily boost our defense budget by eliminating our oil subsidy, there are 300 Trillion Rupiah that we can use for many thing if our subsidy become zero, including giving another 80 Trillion Rupiah to our defense budget which means doubling the current figure.

err surely you can found the history of Aceh and East Timor by googling it yourself or for some basic stuff you can find it in Wikipedia. Aceh is part of Indonesian territory since the independence day meanwhile East Timor is no part of it since East Timor was an Portuguese colony not the Dutch ones. Rebellion in Aceh has been ended by an accord in which Indonesia government giving them an permit to implement the Sharia law in Aceh provinces and thus giving them Special Administrative Province status in exchange Aceh must hold themselves with Pancasila, NKRI and Red & White flag value.

Indonesia at least content herself with territory left by the Dutch including West Papua, and for a while occupying East Timor as a result of fear against communism (at the times Fretilin movement is very much an commies organization).
