The leadership of Indonesia’s governing party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) indicates a rapprochement between their respective leaders Megawati Sukarnoputri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, ending their yearlong estrangement and potentially upending President Joko Widodo’s governing parliamentary coalition.

PDIP elites resent Widodo’s reluctance to distance himself with his two time rival and presidential candidate, Prabowo Subianto. Also in the episode: the government readies a bevy of five- to- 10 year “golden visas” aimed at attracting  highly skilled workers, retirees, individuals with globally recognized talent a digital nomads.

And Steven joins Kevin and Jeff to discuss Jakarta’s interim governor’s ambition to begin construction of the capital’s seawall.
