Indonesian election: with nod to Malaysia’s 1MDB, Prabowo makes corruption pledge


Indonesian presidential hopeful Prabowo Subianto is confident he can bring about the change that citizens desire and run a clean government that will still be business-friendly while improving the lives of ordinary people.

“They are fed up with corruption. It’s just too much. They see injustice, they see that they don’t have access to basic rights, clean water, good health system, good education … there’s no hope for the young of Indonesia,” said the 67-year-old former general, who lost his two previous bids and is gunning for the top job for the third time.
