AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoVolcano & trail-run safety: A week after the Mount Dukono tragedy, Indonesian mountaineer Andyn Kadir is still planning to climb Mount Batur for a May 15–17 trail race, saying he’ll follow authorities’ clearance and that organisers are monitoring seismic activity and planning evacuations in extreme cases. Public health at borders: Indonesia has stepped up Ebola monitoring at international entry points after WHO declared the outbreak in Africa a global emergency—suspected cases will be sent to designated hospitals and reported via the national response system, with more public guidance to prevent panic. Currency pressure across the region: MUFG says the Philippine peso is Asia’s weakest link amid US-Iran war stress, and the same oil-and-geopolitics squeeze is hitting regional currencies, with Indonesia’s rupiah also sliding to record lows. Aid flotilla fallout: Indonesia is seeking the release of detained journalists tied to the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, while Israel has arrested some Indonesian citizens in the wider mission. Eid timing: Hari Raya Aidiladha is set for 27 May in Indonesia (and Malaysia/Singapore), with Thailand observing it on 28 May.
