Megawati Claims Frequent Surveillance in Politics

0
Recently, Ibu Megawati Soekarnoputri claimed to be the most surveilled political figure in Indonesia, a statement made in jest but carrying significant weight given the current political climate. As Indonesia approaches its elections, her comments draw attention to the increasing relevance of political scrutiny. Megawati attributes this constant observation to her extensive knowledge of the political dynamics seen during the past ten years under Jokowi's administration. With the recent establishment of Prabowo as president, the political arena has transformed into a more intricate battleground, raising doubts regarding how this surveillance might influence political stability in Indonesia. Megawati has expressed a profound concern over the deteriorating state of democracy and her party's (PDIP) role in the past decade. Her position prompts significant inquiries into the strategic role of PDIP presently, especially as she continues to stress the necessity of public critiques against the government. To illustrate her point, she likens the feeling of being watched while drivingβ€”where one becomes more observant of traffic signs and prepared for potential obstaclesβ€”to her active engagement in political affairs, ensuring her participation does not spiral into chaos.
