“I was satisfied that last week, the Judge met with me, he conveyed the news after the meeting of the Chief Judges of Asia. Then, the Chief Judge of Malaysia conveyed it to the Chief Judge of Indonesia, he said ‘I am impressed with Indonesia, for the first time the salary of Indonesian judges exceeds the salary of Malaysian judges’,” he said.
In June 2025, Prabowo announced an increase in salaries for judges in Indonesia of up to 280 percent.
He conveyed and announced this salary increase while attending the 2025 Supreme Court Judge Inauguration Ceremony at the Supreme Court Office, Jakarta, on Thursday, June 12 2025.

Today I announce that the salaries of judges will be increased for their welfare, with different levels of increase according to grade, with the highest increase reaching 280 percent,” said the President when speaking at the Supreme Court (MA).
According to Prabowo, the highest salary increase was given to the most junior class. However, he assured that this significant salary increase would apply to all judges.
“The grades that get the highest increase are the most junior, the lowest. However, all judges will get a very significant increase and I will continue to monitor it,” he said.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
