Saiful Bahri Siregar, the Director of Investigation at the Attorney General’s Office’s (AGO) Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), speaks during a press conference at the AGO headquarters in Jakarta (31/8). The AGO is investigating alleged corruption in the governance of nickel commodities at PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama (CNI) between 2017 and 2020. Investigators have seized Rp401,653,737,469, or approximately Rp401.6 billion, in connection with the case.

The AGO said the seized funds represented the recovery of state financial losses returned by PT CNI based on an audit by the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman is boosting productivity and improving farmers’ welfare by modernizing Indonesia’s agricultural sector. One of the approaches by the Ministry of Agriculture is the Modern Advanced Agriculture System (PM-AAS), which has started to deliver promising results in several regions.

Amran said increasing productivity is the next priority after Indonesia achieved rice self-sufficiency. He stressed that technology should not only boost production but also have a tangible impact on farmers’ incomes. “Alhamdulillah, we have achieved self-sufficiency. Now, the focus is on farmers’ welfare, which places technology as pivotal. We studied this for two years, combining American methods with Indonesia’s jajar legowo planting system. We have seen yields of up to 12 tons, so even 10 tons should be achievable at a minimum,” Amran said recently.

Thick smog caused by wildfires across seven provinces is severely impacting the health of vulnerable populations, prompting the Health Ministry (Kemenkes) to instruct all healthcare facilities in affected regions to prioritize extra protection for children, the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with underlying medical conditions (comorbidities).

Kemenkes Environmental Health Director dr. Then Suyanti warned that the peak of the dry season—forecasted by the Meteorology, Climatological, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) to run from July through September—triggers an exceptionally high risk of forest and land fires. The greatest threat stems from exposure to hazardous fine particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and toxic organic compounds capable of penetrating the respiratory and circulatory systems without spatial barriers.
