1. Prabowo Confident Danantara Could Exceed US$1tn in Assets
President Prabowo Subianto believes that the new sovereign wealth agency, Daya Anagata Nusantara, or Danantara, could rack up US$1 trillion, as the state-owned enterprises (SOEs) it manages are quite wealthy in assets.
Prabowo revealed this during a Danantara town hall meeting on Monday, April 28, 2025. "While we were tallying up our assets, it turned out we were rich. Danantara’s wealth could reach US$1 trillion soon enough,” he told the media crew after the meeting.
2. Rempang Eco City Excluded from Prabowo's List of 77 National Strategic Projects
The status of the Rempang Eco City project has become a topic of discussion in a public hearing held by Commission VI with the residents of Pulau Rempang on Monday, April 28, 2025. It turns out that the project is not included in the list of 77 National Strategic Projects of President Prabowo Subianto as stipulated in Presidential Regulation No. 12 of 2025 regarding the National Medium-Term Development Plan for 2025-2029.
Commission VI Chairperson Nurdin Halid confirmed the exclusion of Rempang Eco City from the list of National Strategic Projects after checking the regulation. "So, it turns out that Rempang is indeed not included in the (PSN) list," said Nurdin during the meeting, while showing a copy of the regulation document in his hand.
3. Blackpink's Lisa and Maroon 5 Announce New Song 'Priceless'
Exciting news for fans of both K-pop and pop music—Lisa BLACKPINK and Maroon 5 have officially announced an upcoming collaboration.
A few weeks ago, lead singer Adam Levine hinted at a new single during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, teasing, “a single coming at the end of the month-ish.” While vague, the comment sparked speculation—and the clues didn’t stop with the words.
On April 23, Maroon 5’s official Instagram posted a moody photo of the back of Adam Levine and a woman standing side by side, gazing out at a cityscape. Fans were quick to recognize the woman as Lisa from the group BLACKPINK, identifying from her signature long hair and silhouette.
