INDONESIA: THROUGH DARKNESS TO LIGHT In post-Soeharto Indonesia, the country has been moving from gloom toward the light promised by Reformasi. What are Indonesia’s challenges today? Religious conflict? Corruption? Slow progress of reform in politics, the bureaucracy, education, infrastructure, and leadership? Change is slow compared to economic growth, and people are getting impatient. How it will this play out in the next big elections in 2014?
These questions are discussed by a panel of leading thinkers:
Aristides Katoppo (Co-Founder of Sinar Harapan newspaper)
Adam Schwarz (journalist, author and political observer)
Michael Vatikiotis (Asia Regional Director at Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, Geneva and former Editor-in-Chief of Far Eastern Economic Review)
Goenawan Mohamad (columnist, poet, Co-Founder of Tempo Media Group).
Moderator: Wayan Juniartha (Journalist, Jakarta Post).
