AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoWildfires and Haze: Indonesia’s environment minister aims to extinguish forest and land fires within a month, as smoke clouds parts of the country and spreads across the region. Officials say the Forestry Ministry has handled 290 fire-affected wild animals. Critics say the government’s refusal to declare a national disaster reflects an inadequate response, while haze has disrupted flights and raised health concerns in neighbouring countries. Public Mood: A new SMRC poll found confidence that Indonesia is heading in the right direction fell to 47.7%, from 83% when President Prabowo took office in 2024. The pollster called the decline an early warning for the administration. Energy: Nations Petroleum, linked to Prabowo’s brother Hashim Djojohadikusumo, has pledged US$103.3 million for three years of work on the technically challenging Natuna D-Alpha gas block, prompting questions about the company’s experience and capacity.
