ah, i've been phys all and nice to have you along. impunity. at the top of indonesia, police force prosecutors were asking for life, but the judges handed down the maximum sentence, the death penalty to form a police. general fatty sam bolt for orchestrating the motor of his body. got there were gasps, and she is from spectators in the courtroom. it follows a string of elaborate stories and alleged police cover ups. this is the moment a top police official met his fate. man got no gun redone sentence to the defendant, but the book with the sentence had to be done of death by b. fatty sambo was found guilty of murdering his own body guard. sambo was a 2 star general and former head of internal affairs for the national police,

until he was released from duty in 2022. following the accusations many people attending the trial welcomed the would it over on his mighty deck sentence is the answer. that is true justice because the law must be sharp and the victim's family must feel justice. and we have a good response back on a bit and what the judge said was good, but maybe somebody can hack him. he doesn't have a more. there has been huge public interest in the trial, which continued for months chronicling lies and intrigues. that 1st, for several days, the police kept the killing under cover. then they said surveillance cameras had failed to work that day. blue been the judge dismissed these claims, saying the tapes had been deleted blood, millie montoya. such developments have kept indonesians hoped and burned about

perhaps a systemic problem with the country's police force id i dont pneumonia in my opinion. the bad police have always been that bus on there. got it. if the boss is not right, then the subordinates also not right. the mindset in indonesia is that a job is to make money. so i don't think improvement is the priority. it looked at it, i'm gonna handle very nigrama sacramento. c. mullin is aminada that way. it's a shame that these bad apples make people not trust the police about my shower. that david guy a so far i still trust the police. i know. yeah. was the last me or they at the is a lot easier than this week's verdict i've ever had provided some relief to the wicked. them's family i present in course was a miraculous sentence. oh that we have with god has answered every

drop of my son's blood and our prayers. thank you for your love jesus. with as somebody marched off to serve his sentence, indonesians are facing some difficult conversations on the countries police. it's rule. and in part, at least it's own apparent sense of impunity. dw corresponded chance from along joins us from jakarta. so are we talking about one corrupt cop or a police force riddled with corruption? yes it is national police force. if indonesia has been in the spotlight for so long, being one of the most corrupted institution in indonesia, and that definitely eroded the public confidence towards the corpse. and usually when a police is doing something wrong, the national police, which used a term just a few bad apples and uh,

they would hide the dirty cups behind the term. um, with all the scandals throughout the years that involved the police. public once again or wondering what about the police reform that ashley has been in the works for more than 20 years and it's not finished yet. it has to be done war properly now. and if we talk about a police reform, there need to be reform and her mind set off the oh, sorry dorothy with and o force to mask the wrong doing, supplied her police officers and also the culture of violence within the police. so far, experts believe that it has been stagnant, but it's actually very important. not only the end goal to repair to tarnished reputation off the police, but really to evaluate their works the dig deep into the route, problems to make them become a better law enforcer. and there are so many other offices being investigated in relation to this trial. i know what, what about some bos wife as well?

why, why was she on trial? yeah. petition to wacky the wife of sambo. ah, she was put on trial because of her investment in planning the murder. the murder happened after put 3 claim that she was harassed by begun to do so with our barret, and that unproven claim made her husband sambo angry and ended with the murder of big idea. swa ah, put 3 guards, 20 years in prison, and that sentence is higher than what was demanded by the prosecutor. but put 3 sambo and other defendants found guilty can still seek legal avenues like appeal, causation, and review. but, but experts say, ah, the next procedures needs to be monitored very well. and i'm sure the whole country will be watching sharon. so along in jakarta, thank you for nothing's

really free in life, but as a pensioner, you can expect some perks, after all those years of hard work and paying taxes free subway bribes. for example, in south korea, except even that's become a little too expensive for the aging. but wealthy nation one of the best in the world is households. somebody system is known. parking son uses that frequently to move around the city for his job as the delivery man. he said it's only possible because soul allows the elderly to ride for free. going do him the advantages that it doesn't cost me any transportation expenses. i'm a little tired, but this job is really good way to dinner, ma'am. and into the i'm with an air last year over 200000000. 3 rides for taken. that has been a huge benefit to people above the age of 65. but the local government sees this is bleeding them dry. sold meal wants the central government to help

it look for 2 arms on. we're not asking for complete supporter from the central government. but we are saying that fears can be kept low only with some assistance from the central government that are in the day. even during the day. so far, the finance ministry has rejected their request. so linton intends to hike up some weights by 30 percent. that's making older people like young from nervous that they might have to start being 2 or more with we have to pay for the subway. however, we will have to think about other jobs around it. and so metropolitan government should think a lot about this during the day. it's a job for the elderly that in there. if it's gone, the ugly, have no place to work. and i learned that, oh, did you said they've done a are almost a 5th of south korea's population is aged $65.00 and older. this number is said to rise significantly in the next decade and where the money for their welfare should

come from is a big open question. roth well joins us from the school of business at george mason university, korea in san door, rod can't south korea afford giving pension as a free ride on the subway. any more have the promises of politicians to a fair chunk of their voting base? just got out of control. it's a fair question. um, i think what the government is really trying to indicate is that the social welfare policies, which have been traditionally valued in the past and perhaps not sustainable in the future. now we've, we've seen who have reached the social tipping point where we now know that the average age in korea is 47. we know that approximately 25 percent of people are over 65. so the burden is just starting to maybe creep up on the government and you know, maybe this is a little bit of an indicator. the,

the good right is about to maybe not stop, but slowing down a little bit. could mean that everyone else would have to pay a higher fairs on the subway to help support the elderly. i mean that's, that's what it's all about. isn't it in an economy that the, the younger workers are paying the price for pensioners? yes, that's definitely true. but when we look at the korean population pyramid, the base of the pyramid now is shrinking every year. so yes, the young people are eventually going to have to pay more on the subway in career is still extremely cheap. but yeah, we can definitely see that in the future, the burden is going to be on fairly placed upon the younger people to support this very, very large group of people over 65. it sounds like the retirement age is, is, is going to be raised at some stage. i know that's being discussed at the moment in south korea. i can't see it not being at least discussed very,

very seriously. um, we have government programs full employee, the elderly in kindergarten and primary schools as cross war people. this is also happening. a lot of my own father in law reach is working very diligently. it's 73 years old. so yes it's, it's definitely got to be a serious discussion and we're still talking about an extremely wealthy nation, a highly productive economy, a, with a fairly healthy growth rate. but so you mentioned that the generous benefits on offer there. i also believe south korea has one of the most generous health care systems in the world. yes, it certainly does. i think we owe both koreans and foreign is treated equally under the health care system. it's very generous. it's his understanding that if the population's healthy than that's a, a good thing, i'm going to,

the doctor is extremely quick. convenient, cheap, on getting medicines getting reimbursed by the health system. all, very, very generous. oh, very well set out. by the oh no that i was going to say the older you get it more important that health care system becomes, of course, and the older you get, the more you spend on health care. so can the insurance companies continue to be this generous care? the government health care system continue to be this generous when it's no longer looking after 20 percent of the population who goes to the doctor every week. but when it gets to 30 percent or 40 percent of the dock of the population going to the doctor very regularly, will these general general benefits continue? it's a tough question and the tough one for politicians with our elections are always on the horizon. and stat voter base are only getting older rod roth. well, from george mason university,
