Thekabarnews.com—A recent survey shows that many Indonesians worry that the escalating conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran could affect Indonesia’s economy and stability.
GoodStats conducted the study, titled Indonesian Public Perception of the America–Israel–Iran War, in collaboration with Digivla.
The survey shows that 90 percent of respondents believe the war will directly affect Indonesia. This indicates that people know a lot about how the war would change the globe.
Furthermore, 83.73 percent of the people who answered said they were afraid that the conflict could get worse and turn into a bigger war in the Middle East.
Participants were also concerned that not knowing what would happen to the world economy could hurt their own.
The survey found that Indonesians are most worried about three things: the economy getting worse, the price of basic goods going up, and the prices of gas and electricity going up.
These problems show how vulnerable Indonesia is to problems in other parts of the world. This is especially true when conflicts impair trade routes and energy supply chains.
The study also asked people what they thought about Indonesia joining the Board of Peace (BoP) group.
The results indicate that most respondents do not want Indonesia to become involved. About 47 percent said they declined to join the alliance, and 43 percent said they were indifferent. Only 10 percent of people wanted Indonesia to join.
Many respondents feared that joining the alliance could drag Indonesia into a war it had nothing to do with.
Most individuals thought that the best thing the government could do about the ongoing problem was to develop policies that focused on keeping the country stable at home.
About 24.73 percent stated that the government should put stability in the economy at home first. About 23.41 percent said that the government should work diligently to promote peace and diplomacy through international forums.
Another 20.45 percent said that Indonesia’s foreign policy should not favor any one country, and 16.32 percent said that the country needs to be safer. Therefore, this data shows that people want to be safe at home and deal with other countries in a fair way.
People who have looked at the data say they show how important Indonesia’s “free and active” foreign policy has been for a long time. The plan’s goal is to help people make the world a better place without taking sides.
The survey indicated that most Indonesians want stable trade and diplomacy. However, they would rather not be part of geopolitical blocs during world wars.
