The Differences Opinion from Candidates and Their Comparison
A. Introduction
The two candidates squaring off for Indonesia’s top seat, for the first time in a televised debate as a campaigning gathers pace for April’s election. President Joko Widodo, better known as Jokowi is bidding for a second term in office against Prabowo Subianto, a controversial former general with a poor human rights record, in what is almost a rematch of the 2014 campaign.
The candidates have been given the questions – focusing on law, human rights, terrorism and corruption – in advance amid concerns that the two men might escape having to address more controversial issues such as human rights abuse in Papua, in the far east of the Indonesian archipelago.
Analysis hope the debate will help clarify each candidate’s vision for the country ahead of the April 17 polls and put real campaign issues on the table.
• Who are the candidates?
A former furniture salesman and Jakarta governor with a passion for heavy metal music, Jokowi, 57, has affiliated with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P).
In 2014, he became Indonesia’s first president without links to the military or the political or religious elite. But, while his “ordinary man” image inspired many Indonesians, some analysts say he has proved less impressive as a leader.
Jokowi’s rival, 67-year-old Prabowo Subianto, trades on his strongman image and has affiliated with the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra). Prabowo served in military from 1974 to 1998, before being discharged after he was accused of human rights violations in relation to coordinating riots in 1998 in which more than one thousand people died, as well as the murders of pro-independence activists in Timor-Leste during the Indonesian occupation from 1975 until 1999. He has denied the allegations.
• Running mates
Jokowi’s choice for vice president, Ma’ruf Amin, 75, is the head of Indonesia’s top Muslim clerical body, the Indonesian Council of Religious Scholars (MUI). In recent years, Amin has overseen fatwa, a general decree in Islam by a religious authority, on a range of controversial topics including support for female genital mutilation and a call for those caught committing same-sex acts to be sentenced to death. In a 2018 interview, Amin described being LGBT as a “violation”.
Prabowo’s vice president running mate is Sandiaga Uno, 49, the former deputy-governor of Jakarta. A prominent Indonesian businessman, there has been speculation that Uno was chosen for his ability to find the presidential campaign rather than his political insight, given that he’s relative newcomer on the Indonesian political stage.
B. Vision and Mission of Candidates
• Candidate number 01 (Advanced Indonesia)
Offering optimism and an equitable future for Indonesia. I believe that Indonesia will be more progressive than before, more democratic and modern a country so law enforcement and human rights (HAM) will be better not only politic and civil that important. But, economic rights, social rights, and culture are our choices to advance Indonesia such as access to land, education, health services, capital, and the rights to development are the most basic ways to fulfil the human rights (HAM). Indeed we still have a gross human rights (HAM) violation in the past, it is not easy to solve it because of legal complexity issues, evidence problem, and very long time. This problem should be completed after the incident happened but we still committed to resolving this violation, and to guarantee these rights, people must be supported by a fair legal system and a good law enforcement supremacy through institutional reform and strengthening of a good legal management system and the law-abiding culture that we are continually improving. Law must be enforced indiscriminately, strict law enforcement is a part of efforts to eradicate corruption that we were continually done through improving the system of government and work together to strengthen corruption eradication commission (KPK) and encourage synergy between corruption eradication commission (KPK), attorney, and the police. Last, we must be aware of the threat of terrorism, the government still continually work hard through strict and persuasive law enforcement through religious, economic and social development.
• Candidate number 02 (Indonesia Wins)
I feel the indicators showed that we are in an unfavourable condition. In this world there are 200 countries, the characteristic of a successful country was that it must succeed in food, fuel, clean water, and also government institutions must be strong. Especially, law enforcement agencies, judges, prosecutors and the police must be superior, good, and should not doubt their integrity. How we face the law problems, corruption, human rights (HAM) and terrorism, we want to solve it from the basis of the problems. In our opinion we must have enough money to ensure the quality of all officer who have the authority to make decisions so that they would not be committed corruption and they will not affected.
We have to pay a very high salaries for judges, also prosecutors and police. Therefore, we must take over the economic resources of the Indonesian nation. We believe with a strong and clean institutions, we can enforce legal certainty. Law that did not selective, not sharp up but blunt down. A law that present certainty so it can open economic opportunities, create jobs too. We make sure the law presents justice for the society.
