Prabowo Claims Nearly 300% Judge Salary Hike, Exceeding Singapore's

Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto has stated that the salaries of Indonesian judges have been increased by nearly 300%, reaching a level that he claims surpasses that of Singapore. This statement is seen as part of the government's efforts to strengthen judicial independence and boost the morale of judges. The salary hike for judges could also be linked to broader initiatives aimed at improving the compensation of civil servants overall. Prabowo Subianto suggested that this increase in salary levels is expected to create an environment where judges can perform their duties more fairly and efficiently. Further details regarding the specific implementation timeline and funding for this decision are yet to be announced. Source: Sindonews
