Indonesia’s president is keen to replicate the neighbouring city state’s triumphs, but analysts warn that deeper reforms will be needed
Prabowo, who spent part of his childhood in Singapore “when it was still a British colony”, spoke openly of his admiration for the city state’s transformation and its founding leadership.
“To be very frank, I’ve always admired the success of Singapore and especially the success of the early leaders of Singapore, their leadership, statesmanship,” he said at a joint press conference with Wong on Monday.
