To Build Back Better, Indonesia Must Get on Top of Coronavirus
Richard Borsuk, adjunct senior fellow at RSIS, wrote that some Indonesians believe Jokowi still wants to at least start construction of a new capital while in office. But ideally he should focus instead on helping build Indonesia back better for the post-Covid-19 period, making it cleaner (environmentally and ethically), expanding the strengths of its cultural and religious diversity, and improving its connections with the world. Indonesia needs institution-building more than a new capital.
