This's very common and nothing new. The most notorious of all is actually Arab Saudi with billions to spend for donation and scholarship to Indonesian religious schools such as pesantren, madrasah etc. to build classrooms, mosques.

Do you know Islamic Center that's usually available in each town or university? Yes, those are mostly funded by such donations.

That's how they maintain their image and influence to public despite bombing and killing children left and right in another Islamic/majority Islamic country such as Yemen.

Now UEA, Iran & Turkey also started doing the same thing to counter Arab Saudi influences in Indonesia.
But i think Saudi official stance is very different with politically active Islamists here. That kind of people are more like Sahwa in Saudi.

- Clausewitz, On War

The reason I always disagree with the exagerrated fearmongering of an imagined Chinese invasion

Key points to consider from this military classic (specifically regarding Intelligence):

- "....the effect of fear is to multiply lies and inaccuracies."

- " As a rule most men would rather believe bad news than good news and rather tend to exaggerate the bad news"

- "...better make it a rule to suppress his personal convictions, and give hopes and not his fear the benefit of the doubt."

kinda dissappoint to prof hikmahanto in helmy yahya youtube podcast about ukraine and russia, he sees russian invasion just an act of politional action in some part of ukraine, that is sick thinking even from well know person like him, he know ukraine is sovereign nation but tend to defend russian agression by bringing history of two nation in the past, altought he try sees it from 2 side perspective but in sublime he's just a pro putin, not a pro russian people with human being sent as cannon fodder, he seems forgot who is doing the first initiative, even he's talk about east timor is misleading, what a joke from a guy who called as as a profesor

Well apparently most lecturers in Indonesia are also pro-Russia, so the Hikma guy case is not an isolated example.

I can somewhat explain the reason behind such attitude: 1. Russia is generally more popular among Indonesians, so there is a tendency to support Russia, 2. Russian Invasion reminds us of the East Timor invasion, in which the Russian situation is similar to that of Indonesia.

What Russia did to Ukraine is similar who what we did in East Timor, we invade them "out of necessity". Even if officials agree that Russia's invasion is unjustified, condemning Russia openly will also make us look hypocritical. That is why at first our officials were in dilemma and slow to support Ukraine, probably trying to be neutral at first. It's because if Russia's military initiative cannot be morally defended, so do ours in East Timor and Papua.

Papua? East Timor? Papua is ex Dutch Colonial territory and they are rightfully ours and had been recognized by the UN itself. Papua is not a question anymore you should weighing it into your minds

East Timor? We are in our conscience and in full awareness recognized they are being invaded and incorporated into our territory by illegal way, then we are got severe backlash after that and in return offered them with referendum in which East Timor got their independence. AND THEY ARE ALREADY IN THE PAST. And Indonesian government already regret about the invasion

To Made lenient reaction toward Russian invasion today would opened a more terrifying Pandora box in near future. Countries with very large economies and military power such as USA, France, UK Saudi, India and China would have more confidence to invaded other countries and justified it according to their own agenda
