Syafrudin Budiman Applauds DPR’s Commitment to Pass Asset Forfeiture Bill by 15 December 2026

PRIME NEWS POST  The INDONESIAN (Jakarta)— Syafrudin Budiman, S.IP., National Coordinator of the Prabowo‑Gibran Volunteer Alliance (ARPG), has extended high praise to the leadership of Indonesia’s House of Representatives (DPR RI), notably Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, for pledging to finalise and enact the Asset Forfeiture Bill no later than 15 December 2026. Syafrudin Budiman, affectionately known as Gus Din, conveyed the appreciation in a statement released in Jakarta on Thursday (27/8/2026). He described the DPR’s commitment as a positive step deserving support from all sectors of society. “ARPG conveys its highest appreciation to the DPR leadership, especially Mr Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, for demonstrating genuine resolve to advance the Asset Forfeiture Bill. This is both an act of good will and a vital milestone for strengthening corruption eradication in Indonesia,” Gus Din stated. The commitment was officially stated by Dasco during the DPR Plenary Session held Thursday (27/8/2026). The House confirmed the deadline of 15 December 2026 for passing the legislation. Habiburokhman, Chair of DPR Commission III, added that completion is no longer merely a timeline but a firm pledge to table it for a plenary vote this coming December. Gus Din underscored the Bill’s fundamental importance to upholding the rule of law and combating corruption. Once enacted, it is expected to equip state authorities with stronger powers to trace, seize and forfeit assets derived from criminal acts while maximising recovery of state losses. “This law has long been awaited. It answers not just the needs of government and law enforcers but the public’s hope for more effective anti‑corruption measures that genuinely deter wrongdoing,” he said. He also stressed that the framework must guarantee fair, balanced and consistent application of law — free from selective enforcement. For that reason, deliberations ought to remain open, methodical and inclusive of broad public input. “We want strong laws rooted in justice. Anti‑corruption efforts must never open the door to arbitrary action. This Bill must strike a careful balance between the State’s mandate to recover ill‑gotten gains and the protection of citizens’ legitimate rights,” he affirmed. Gus Din welcomed broader civil‑society participation throughout the legislative process. Dasco had previously confirmed Commission III remains open to public feedback covering both substance and procedural details….

PYM Panglima Gong Pendy Runca Applauds President Prabowo’s Firm Action on Kalimantan Land — Forest Fires

PRIME NEWS POST  The INDONESIAN (Kalimantan) — Paduka Yang Mulia (PYM) Panglima Gong Pendy Runca, Pangeran Mas Senopati of  Pkalimantan and Guardian of Customary Rights & Communities within the Majelis Adat Indonesia (MAI / Indonesian Customary Council), has voiced deep appreciation for President Prabowo Subianto’s swift, decisive and co‑ordinated response to ongoing forest‑and‑land fires (karhutla) across parts of Kalimantan — notably West and Central Kalimantan. For PYM Panglima Gong Pendy Runca, President Prabowo’s decision to go beyond receiving reports and instead travel directly to Kalimantan, lead on‑site briefings, assess conditions first‑hand and unify efforts from central and local governments, the Armed Forces (TNI) and National Police (Polri) stands as an example of state leadership truly responsive to environmental crises and public safety. “We — from the Customary Rights & Communities Assembly under MAI — extend our highest recognition to President Prabowo Subianto. When fires strike directly at people’s lives, nature and customary lands, the President’s presence proves the State stands with them and will never leave communities to face disaster alone,” PYM Panglima Gong Pendy Runca stated. Holding meetings in West Kalimantan before moving to Central Kalimantan underscores that these blazes are a national challenge requiring cross‑sector and cross‑border co‑operation, he said. Crucially, land‑forest fires cannot be reduced simply to putting out flames; impacts ripple across health, safety, livelihoods, transport, air quality, ecosystem integrity and the very existence of indigenous territories.  The State Must Defend Forests and Indigenous Peoples As Guardian of Customary Rights Institutions and Communities at MAI, PYM Panglima Gong Pendy Runca stressed that safeguarding Kalimantan’s forests and lands carries strategic weight — these areas are not merely ecological assets but the foundation of customary social life, culture and living space. Solutions must therefore be balanced: accelerate suppression, strengthen prevention, support affected communities and enforce laws firmly against wrongdoing….
