JAKARTA: President Prabowo Subianto recently hosted a hand-picked media interview session at his private residence in Hambalang, Bogor, West Java, amid the government’s public relations crisis that comes after a series of tone-deaf remarks from high-ranking officials and growing accusations that his administration has shut down public criticism.
The three-and-a-half-hour in-depth interview featuring seven senior journalists, including six editors-in-chief, took place on Sunday (April 6) morning and was the first since the 73-year-old former Army general assumed office in October of last year.
