WHAT is the real contribution of Indonesian Vice President Ma’ruf Amin to the country as it deals with the devastating impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic?
What are his achievements as the country’s second-most powerful state official – Constitutionally – in implementing the special assignments President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has entrusted to him? I am afraid even Ma’ruf’s staunchest supporters and his inner circle would find it difficult to give a convincing answer to these questions.
How, for example, has he exercised his influence on the conservative and hardline Muslim groups and those who oppose the government’s Covid-19 policies regarding vaccinations and mask-wearing? Given his credentials as a prominent Muslim cleric who once headed the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), such a role should not be too complicated for him.
