This week in Indonesia
This week in Indonesia, media highlighted significant social and criminal issues, including a reported rise in sexual femicide cases, the death of a domestic worker, and major police operations against drug trafficking and international online gambling rings. Concurrently, the government focused on policy adjustments, with plans to revise e-commerce rules to strengthen MSMEs and clarify the status of non-civil servant teachers. A cultural debate also emerged around the controversial "Pig Festival" documentary, facing university bans and prompting its filmmaker to invite military and police for discussion.
