I think you might find that those who own these companies could quite possibly own serious players in the government too- not the faces at the front but the gears that grind from the back.
Practically almost
ALL conglomerates and billionaires thrived under the Suharto regime. During his rule the capitalizing on the deforestation of ancient trees, that have been in existence for millions of years as well as other Indonesian natural resources is not uncommon. It is the fastest way to amass wealth. This include the current presidential candidate.

"Mr P adalah Presiden dan CEO PT Tidar Kerinci Agung yang bergerak dalam bidang produksi
minyak kelapa sawit, lalu PT Nusantara Energy yang bergerak dalam bidang migas, pertambangan, pertanian, kehutanan dan pulp, juga PT Jaladri Nusantara yang bergerak di bidang perikanan"
"Mr P is the President and CEO of PT Tidar Kerinci Agung which operates in the palm oil production sector, then PT Nusantara Energy which operates in the oil and gas, mining, agriculture, forestry and pulp sectors, also PT Jaladri Nusantara which operates in the fisheries sector"

Bob Hasan (may he RIP) a close confidant of Suharto and a vocal supporter of both Suharto and the deforestation of Indonesia's rainforests.

A substantial portion of Bob Hasan wealth is derived from exploiting Indonesia's natural resources, which he may perceive as an inheritance from his 'engkong' (ancestors), and get blessing from then he thought the Indonesian emperor, Suharto. This exploitation includes the sale of raw wood products sourced from ancient trees such as Borneo Dipterocarpus confertus. Not to mention, Borneo teak wood, rattan, plywood, pulp and more. Rather then doing Reforestation to restore and replenish forested areas that have been exploited, it is further exploited by replacing them with palm oil and rubber plantation.
Borneo, is one of the most vital tropical forests in the world, serves as a habitat for rare species and unique ancient trees. Notably, it is the home of the world's tallest tropical tree
This is a research paper commissioned by WWF. listing some of the companies owned by the Indonesian conglomerates. It is written in December 2001 and mainly from the German perspective, but it is still relevant considering Germany and Europe in general were one the main exporters of forest products of Indonesia at that time, the Borneo forests has existed since millions years ago.
