Indonesian authorities have intensified actions against a counterfeit rice distribution network, with the Food Station Tjipinang Jaya products ordered to be withdrawn from the market by Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung. The National Police Food Task Force has identified three suspects linked to the adulterated rice brands Sania, Fortune, Sovia, and Siip, including a president director of PT PIM. East Java Police Chief Irjen Nanang Avianto urged the public to report any sightings of counterfeit rice. Concurrently, the Indonesian National Police (Polri) conducted a broad reshuffle in August 2025, involving 61 senior and middle-ranking officers, including appointments at the West Java Police and the replacement of the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Agency (Kabareskrim) with Komisaris Jenderal Syahardiantono. The Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) announced the formation of six new regional military commands (Kodam), which will be inaugurated on August 10, 2025, alongside the planned appointment of a Deputy Commander of the TNI. This follows a Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 85 of 2025 redefining the Ministry of Defense's relationship with the TNI, necessitating additional leadership support. The reactivation of the National Air Defense Command (Kohanudnas) was also formalized through Perpres No. 84 of 2025. In the anti-corruption domain, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned former Minister of Religious Affairs Yaqut Cholil Qoumas and former Education Minister Nadiem Makarim for investigations related to the hajj quota and other cases. KPK has also named two lawmakers as suspects in a corruption case involving the central bank and financial services regulator, linked to unexecuted social activities funded through corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds. Additionally, KPK is investigating a corruption case involving the procurement of advertisements at Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat, with Ahmadi Noor Supit summoned as a witness. President Prabowo Subianto praised former President Joko Widodo and the current cabinet during a plenary cabinet meeting, emphasizing progress in governance. Separately, the East Aceh National Narcotics Agency head Brigjen Pol Marzuki Ali Basyah was appointed as the new Aceh Police Chief, replacing Irjen Pol Achmad Kartiko. A wanted pirate involved in a robbery in Bangka Selatan was shot dead by authorities. The Metro Jaya Police Chief Irjen Pol Karyoto denied rumors of discord with National Police Chief Jenderal Listyo Sigit Prabowo. Finally, the military and police leadership changes reflect ongoing efforts to address complex security and governance challenges in Indonesia.
