Two years is enough time for a government to demonstrate its performance. The honeymoon is over, and the promises Prabowo-Gibran once shouted from campaign stages must now face the prices of basic necessities, jobs, and the public’s pocketbooks. This study is, in essence, a reflection of the public’s demands: what has been delivered, what was merely a promise, who has benefited the most, and what the impact has been on society.
This question should really be raised in parliament. But when almost all political forces have merged into the government coalition, legislative oversight has lost its teeth, and citizens’ grievances stop at the door of the DPR without ever becoming a political position.
This study was born out of that vacuum, with the hope that it will serve as an assessment for the government, as well as a channel for amplifying public voices that can no longer find representation in the institution meant to represent them. The study explains public perceptions of Prabowo-Gibran’s leadership and the government’s performance. The past two years have also been marked by overly frequent ministerial reshuffles. The hope is that this study can serve as a mirror, showing who deserves to remain and who should be replaced for failing to carry out their duties and create public policies that improve people’s welfare—based on public assessments, not political horse-trading.
