Free lunch Program:
Free lunch is a flagship program campaigned by Mr. Prabowo. This program is specifically aimed at students throughout Indonesia from elementary school to middle school and pregnant women. and there are lots of opinions about the existence of lunch, especially the most recent one is the lunch budget which costs a lot of money, consuming up to 450 trillion rupiah.
This fund uses state funds. Lots of Indonesian citizens are protesting because free lunch funds are prioritized compared to education funding, so many people think that the government is more concerned with food than Indonesian children's education, even though many people are protesting that free lunches have an unpalatable menu and some areas still don't get free lunches.
My opinion is that free lunches are fine but must be balanced

A FULLY IMPACTED CONFLICT.
The conflict regarding Palestine & Israel has been going for almost two years and Palestine suffer the worst out of this. Israeli has more of offensive support rather than Palestine with their improvement of tech and weaponry. A lot of people from Hamas are forced to displaced or moved from Gaza to avoid the attacks
The conflict or the attack started when Hamas launched its deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, prompting the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to engage in aerial campaigns and ground operations within the Gaza Strip. The attack is believed to respond to various pressures and attacks that Israel has carried out against Palestine over the years. Since 2008, Gaza has been a target for Israel’s attacks because Hamas is there. Hamas is a movement that aspires to Palestinian independence. Hamas, is a movement of Sunni Islam and Palestinian nationalism that opposes the Zionist occupation of the region. The movement believes that their rise is the main entry point for the goal of "liberating all of Palestine from the river to the sea".Gaza was a territory formerly belonging to Egypt, then taken by Israel after the 1967 war. However, through the Oslo Agreement of 1993, Gaza became an autonomous region, not under Palestinian authority. It has remained in Israeli control de facto since 1967. The recurring Palestine-Israel conflict has many factors at play between the two parties. Hamas’s attacks on Israel are not the beginning of the conflict but rather part of a chain of political tensions that have been ongoing for years. Numerous peace efforts have been made in the Palestine-Israel conflict. Unfortunately, these endeavors have often failed due to violations committed by both parties. The Gaza Strip is a stretch of land surrounded by Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. Home to about 2.3 million people, it is one of the most densely populated places on Earth. Egypt was driven out of Gaza in the 1967 war and the Strip was occupied by Israel, which built settlements and placed Gaza's Palestinian population under military rule. In 2005, Israel unilaterally withdrew its troops and settlers from Gaza, though it retained control of its shared border, airspace and shoreline, giving it effective control of the movement of people and goods.
In my thoughts, if the Israeli don't really need the land of gaza, the whole conflict could be avoided. Israel already is an improved country, but they keep harassing on Palestine or Gaza more of a self sufficient nation so they have very little support. And then Hamas started take action and attack. Israeli really thinks of them as superior because they're jewish.
In conclusion, the first on taking action was Hamas or Palestine but the first on attacking (passively) was israel. Israel have more offensive power in term of tech and man power. Israel only want to reclaim the land of Gaza because it was supposed to be theirs so they kicked Palestinian out of there and to extinguish Hamas hq.

Paragraph 1 – General Statement (What is the issue?)
Corruption within law enforcement remains a serious issue across the world. When those entrusted to uphold the law are involved in corrupt activities, public trust is deeply shaken. These cases of corruption are not only limited to one region or one group of officers but are often found across various levels of the police force, from high-ranking generals to investigators.
Paragraph 2 – Summary of Information from the Articles
The first article focuses on the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in Indonesia naming two police generals as suspects in a corruption case involving Driving License simulator equipment in 2011, with an estimated loss to the state of IDR 198 billion. This reveals how deeply corruption can penetrate high levels of authority. The second article explains how the Indonesian National Police is still making efforts to fight corruption through its Directorate of Corruption Crimes, although this effort often receives less attention than the KPK or Attorney General's Office. The third article, from the U.S., tells the story of Ricardo Mendez, a private investigator who admitted to bribing police officers for over ten years to help his intoxicated clients avoid charges. This case shows how law enforcement can be influenced by external parties for personal gain.
Paragraph 3 – Opinion (What do you think about the issue?)
These articles show a clear pattern: corruption in law enforcement is not confined to one country or system—it is a global issue. I think it’s especially concerning when top-ranking officials, who are supposed to be role models, are involved. It undermines the credibility of the entire police force. While some institutions like KPK are actively fighting corruption, there is still a lack of transparency and accountability in many parts. One thing that is often not mentioned enough is the psychological and social impact on honest officers who work in the same environment but are overshadowed by corrupt ones. There is also little discussion on how to protect whistleblowers within these institutions.
Paragraph 4 – Conclusion (What can be concluded about the issue?)
Corruption in law enforcement is a major challenge that needs to be addressed seriously and globally. While there are efforts to combat it, as seen in the actions of KPK and Dittipikor in Indonesia, and the prosecution in the U.S. case, much more needs to be done. Stronger systems of checks and balances, better protection for whistleblowers, and public engagement are essential to ensure that law enforcement remains trustworthy and effective. Without major reforms, corruption will continue to erode the justice system from withim
