A Kurious-Katadata Insight Center (KIC) survey revealed the top 10 figures deemed most capable of upholding the law and human rights (HAM) in Indonesia.
Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mahfud MD was considered the most capable figure in upholding the law and HAM, with 35% of respondents choosing him – the highest percentage among the nine other figures.
Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto ranked second, chosen by 32.5% of respondents. Former Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo followed with 29.5%, and former Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan with 21.7%.
Former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil received 14.8% of the votes on the issue of law enforcement and HAM, followed by Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Erick Thohir with 14.5%.
Respondents choosing Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, Chairman of the Democratic Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), Governor of East Java Khofifah Indar Parawansa, and Chairman of the PKB Muhaimin Iskandar had lower percentages, as shown in the graph.
As Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD frequently mediates issues related to law enforcement and HAM in Indonesia.
Recently, several residents of Rempang Island, Batam, Riau Islands, clashed with joint officers from the Indonesian National Police (Polri), Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), Batam Free Trade Zone Authority Security Service (Ditpam BP Batam), and the Regional Regulation Enforcement Agency (Satpol PP) during land measurement for the Eco City development on Thursday, September 7th.
Following the incident, Mahfud MD instructed security personnel to exercise caution in handling the polemics surrounding land measurement and the relocation of Rempang residents affected by the Eco City development. He urged law enforcement officers (APH) to employ a persuasive approach and open dialogue in addressing residents' protests.
"I urge APH in the regions to be cautious in handling this," Mahfud said, as reported by Katadata.co.id on Monday, September 11th, 2023.
He added that the relocation of residents affected by the Rempang Eco City development had reached an agreement between the majority of the community, the local government, the developer, and the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) on September 6th, 2023. Mahfud MD stated that this agreement had even been reached with 80% of the residents.
Mahfud believes that the unrest in Rempang on Thursday, September 7th, was instigated by provocateurs unrelated to the land relocation. "The demonstration escalated on the 7th, resulting in eight individuals suspected of provocation who had no stake in the matter," said Mahfud.
The Kurious-KIC survey involved 933 respondents with a distribution representing the demographic population in Indonesia, with 51.2% female and 48.8% male respondents.
The majority of respondents were from Java (excluding Jakarta) at 62.1%, followed by DKI Jakarta (15%) and Sumatra (13.3%). Respondents from Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Bali-Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku-Papua ranged from 0.2% to 3.5%.
Most respondents were aged 25-34 years (36.3%), followed by the 35-44 year age group (28.9%) and the 45-54 year age group (16.9%).
Data collection was conducted from August 22nd to 29th, 2023, using computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI), with a margin of error of approximately 3.2% and a 95% confidence level.
