Some expressed cautious optimism, while others warned about democratic backsliding. Two additional public figures later contributed their insights individually.
While withstanding multiple political and economic disruptions throughout its 80 years of existence, Indonesia continues searching for its definition of nationalism, with observers saying the country may have veered off course from the direction set by the nation’s founders.

Statesman, mogul, strategist. There are numerous accolades and titles that can be used to describe Jusuf Wanandi and his legacy in shaping Indonesia, a man who showcased his business and political acumen in an anthology titled Testimony of Changes: Consolidating Indonesian Democracy and Forging Regional Cooperation.
We remember him as the ‘’friend’’ from Australia who tried very hard to be a ‘’friend’’ to not only Indonesia, but also all our regional neighbors as well as Southeast Asia as a whole, through his indelible influence on Australia's foreign policy.
