flag Indonesia proposes bill letting military personnel take civilian roles after resigning from active duty.

flag Indonesia's government has proposed a revised bill allowing military personnel to take on civilian roles, requiring them to resign from active duty first. flag This change addresses public concerns over increased military influence, easing fears of a return to the Suharto-era "dwifungsi" doctrine, which allowed the military to suppress dissent. flag The bill, expected to pass this month, also extends the retirement age for active soldiers. flag Exceptions for defense-related roles remain.
