The result is a boost for the president

BBC: Democrats win Indonesia election
9 May 2009

Official results in Indonesia's parliamentary elections confirm the president's Democrat Party in first place with 20.85% of the vote.
Its two main rivals - the PDIP and Golkar - both trail with around 14% each of the vote.

The election marked a huge surge in support for the Democrats - who entered the political race just five years ago.
That has sparked some intense jockeying for position ahead of the presidential poll in two months' time.

This result - long predicted - has already turned the current presidential partnership on its head

 

Indonesia’s Voters Retreat From Radical Islam
Newyork Times, April 24, 2009

JAKARTA, Indonesia — From Pakistan to Gaza and Lebanon, militant Islamic movements have gained ground rapidly in recent years, fanning Western fears of a consolidation of radical Muslim governments. But here in the world’s most populous Muslim nation just the opposite is happening, with Islamic parties suffering a steep drop in popular support.

In parliamentary elections this month, voters punished Islamic parties that focused narrowly on religious issues, and even the parties’ best efforts to appeal to the country’s mainstream failed to sway the public.

The largest Islamic party, the Prosperous Justice Party, ran television commercials of young women without head scarves and distributed pamphlets in the colors of the country’s major secular parties. But the party fell far short of its goal of garnering 15 percent of the vote, squeezing out a gain of less than one percentage point over its 7.2 percent showing in 2004.
That was a big letdown for a party and a movement that had grown phenomenally in recent years, even as more radical elements directed terrorist attacks against Western tourists and targets. The party had projected that it would double its share of seats in Parliament even as it stuck to its founding goal of bringing Shariah, or Islamic law, to Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous nation, with 240 million people.

Altogether, the major Islamic parties suffered a drop in support from 38 percent in 2004 to less than 26 percent this year, according to the Indonesian Survey Institute, an independent polling firm whose figures are in keeping with partial official results.

Political experts and politicians attribute the decline to voters’ disillusionment with Islamic parties that once called for idealism, but became embroiled in the messy, often corrupt world of Indonesian politics. They also say that the popular president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who is expected to be re-elected in July, appropriated the largest Islamic party’s signature theme of clean government through a far-reaching anticorruption drive.

On a deeper level, some of the parties’ fundamentalist measures seem to have alienated moderate Indonesians. While Indonesia has a long tradition of moderation, it was badly destabilized with the end of military rule in 1998, which gave rise to Islamist politicians who preached righteousness and to some hard-core elements, who practiced violence. The country has only recently achieved a measure of stability.

Although final results from the election on April 9 will not be announced until next month, partial official results and exit polls by several independent companies indicate that Indonesians overwhelmingly backed the country’s major secular parties, even though more of them are continuing to turn to Islam in their private lives.

 

Indonesia poll campaigning starts

BBC News: Monday, 16 March 2009

Indonesia has marked the formal start of its election season with a joint rally of political parties in the capital Jakarta.

Thirty-eight national parties are contesting parliamentary elections on 9 April, along with
six local parties in the newly-autonomous province of Aceh.

Presidential elections are due to follow in July.

About 174 million Indonesians, across more than 17,000 islands, are eligible to vote in the ballots.
The main issues exercising voters are likely to be the economy, employment opportunities and the fight against corruption - especially high-level corruption, which continues to plague Indonesian politics.

New economic world order emerges

Mustaqim Adamrah , THE JAKARTA POST ,
LONDON | Fri, 04/03/2009 8:48 AM |

The world’s 20 most powerful economies ended their summit Thursday with a set of measures that are hoped to function as a panacea to immediately cure the failing global economy.

Leaders of the G20 member countries walked out of the group’s summit venue in London with a united optimism of turning the course of the world’s economy into a more transparent and accountable financial system.

The group said in a statement that confidence would not be restored until trust in the financial system had been returned.

“Strengthened regulation and supervision must promote propriety, integrity and transparency; guard against risk across the financial system; dampen rather than amplify the financial and economic cycle; reduce reliance on inappropriately risky sources of financing; and discourage excessive risk-taking,” the group said.

 Summit 'best solution' to global crisis: RI
Mustaqim Adamrah , The Jakarta Post ,
Thu, 04/02/2009

US President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown remained confident
over a global deal to lift the world out of a massive recession — an optimism shared by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who is also in London to take part in
the summit.

Yudhoyono suggested that emerging countries, including Indonesia, put high hopes in
the world leaders meeting coming up with a concrete solution, calling it “humankind’s
best hope for the... beginning of a solution” to the current meltdown, warning that failure
to achieve that would be costly.

“As a permanent member, I want coordinated global actions [resulting from the summit] to
be effective and concrete and of benefit to us all,” Yudhoyono said Wednesday in London.

On Tuesday, hours after the Indonesian delegation arrived in London, Yudhoyono also told his audience at the London School of Economics and Political Science that only with global cooperation could the world survive the crisis.

“That is why Indonesia is deeply involved in the work of the G20, which is humankind’s best hope for the solution or the beginning of a solution to the crisis that has engulfed us all. Indonesia also wants to ensure that developing countries will not be left behind [in the process].


“I realize it is not enough to have a regional vision. We must also have a global vision, most especially at a time when the whole world, without exception, is reeling from the impact of the global economic and financial crisis,” Yudhoyono said.

Obama, Yudhoyono discuss economic crisis

13 March 2009

AFP/POOL/File – US President Barack Obama on Friday spoke to Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama on Friday spoke to Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono about the global economic crisis, underscoring warming relations between the two countries.

"The President had a wide-ranging telephone discussion with President Yudhoyono of Indonesia this morning," a White House statement said.
"The President consulted with President Yudhoyono on the global economic crisis and affirmed the need for close cooperation, noting the upcoming G-20 Summit that both leaders will attend."

Obama and Yudhoyono also discussed avian influenza, climate change, counterterrorism and how to bring democracy and human rights to Myanmar during the call, the White House said.
The president, who lived in Indonesia for four years as a boy, also spoke about his policy of reinventing US relations with the Muslim world, the White House said.

In the early months of the Obama administration, US ties with Indonesia have markedly improved.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a nearly 6,000-kilometer (3,500-mile) detour to Indonesia between stopping in Tokyo and Seoul on her first official visit abroad and said Washington wanted a "comprehensive partnership" with Jakarta.

While Indonesia was a Cold War ally of Washington, relations were held back for years by disputes over human rights abuses under former dictator Suharto who fell in 1998.

Obama and Yudhoyono will meet face to face at the G-20 economic summit of developed and developing nations in London on April 2.

Obama talks to Indonesia, Saudi leaders on economy
Fri Mar 13, 2009 9:18pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama discussed the global economic crisis with his Indonesian counterpart on Friday and explained his commitment to forging better relations with the Islamic world, the White House said.
The U.S. president also discussed the economic crisis and the upcoming Group of 20 summit of developed and developing nations in phone calls with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and President Gloria Arroyo of the Philippines, the White House said in a statement.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Indonesian President Bambang Yudhoyono, Obama spoke of the need for close cooperation in confronting the economic crisis, it said.
"They agreed to advance our comprehensive partnership with a focus on issues, including education, health care, climate change and counterterrorism," the statement said.
"The two leaders also discussed regional and international issues, including the president's commitment to a new and different kind of relationship with Islamic communities around the world," it said. "They also discussed how to make progress on democracy and human rights in Burma."

Obama spent part of his childhood in Jakarta and attended school there. After a previous conversation, Yudhoyono told a local newspaper that Obama had greeted him in Indonesian.
The U.S. leader has stressed his wish to improve ties with the Islamic world and has promised to give a major speech from the capital of a Muslim country during his first year in office.
His first interview after becoming president was with al-Arabiya, the Dubai-based Arabic television station, and he will travel to Turkey after the G20 summit in early April.

Obama spoke with King Abdullah about the need to coordinate international efforts to restore economic growth, the White House said.
"The president and King Abdullah also reaffirmed the importance of a strong U.S.-Saudi relationship in promoting peace and security in the region," it said.
The call was his second with Abdullah since taking office on January 20.

Obama also discussed the economy with Arroyo, and the two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to the long-standing U.S.-Philippines alliance, including the visiting forces agreement governing the handling of visiting U.S. military personnel, the White House said.
"The president commended President Arroyo on her country's efforts in countering terrorism and modernizing the armed forces," it said.

Obama asks Indonesia to join hands in tackling global issues
14 March 2009 | 06:19 | FOCUS News Agency


Jakarta. U.S. President Barack Obama expressed Washintong's willingness to involve Jakarta in tackling global issues, including the environment and the financial crisis, an Indonesian government spokesman said, as cited by Xinhua News Agency.
The expression was made by Obama in a 10-minute phone conversation with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono Friday evening, during which they discussed some issues including Indonesia and U.S. comprehensive partnership and the G-20 summit,

Antara news agency on Saturday quoted presidential spokesman Dino Patti Djalal as saying.
"President Barack Obama at 7:45 p.m. called President Yudhoyonoand discussed among others the comprehensive partnership between the U.S. and Indonesia and preparations for the G-20 summit in London early next month," he added.
"President Obama said he wanted to work together with Indonesia in coping with global issues, such as climate change," Dino said.
President Yudhoyono contacted President Obama early in November2008 when Obama had just won the U.S. presidential election.
At that time Yudhoyono asked Obama to visit Indonesia on the sidelines of the APEC meeting in Singapore in October this year.
