“i understand that building indonesia is a struggle that is not easy, often steep, and sometimes dangerous,” sri mulyani wrote on instagram, monday, september 1, 2025.

she stressed that political symbols should represent a shared struggle for noble goals for the nation, but such struggles must be carried out ethically and with high moral standards.

if the public feels dissatisfied, she said, the proper path is through a judicial review at the constitutional court.

sri mulyani emphasized that these are the proper ways to demonstrate indonesia’s democratic system. however, she admitted that indonesian democracy is not yet perfect.

“of course, it is not and will not be perfect. our duty is to keep improving the quality of democracy in a civilized way—not through anarchy, intimidation, or repression,” she said.

“the duties of the state must be carried out with trust, honesty, integrity, propriety, professionalism, transparency, accountability, and of course, we are strictly forbidden from corruption. this is both an honor and an extraordinarily noble responsibility.

these duties are not easy and are very complex, requiring wisdom—empathy, sensitivity, and the ability to listen and understand the voices of the people. because this is about the fate of the indonesian people and the future of the nation,” she continued.

after her long statement, sri mulyani expressed gratitude to the public, whether in the form of criticism, prayers, or advice. she also called on society to maintain unity and work together to build a better indonesia.

“let us safeguard and build indonesia together—not by destroying, burning, looting, slandering, dividing, spreading hatred, arrogance, or by hurting and betraying public trust.

we apologize, as there are still so many shortcomings. god willing, we will continue to make improvements,” she concluded.
