I had a VPN open locating me in Australia. Closed that temporarily and the link then opened. In an earlier post I had said, "It seems any entity involving large amounts of money is like a dead body attracting blow flies."

Jakarta. President Prabowo Subianto was “furious” after Indonesia’s stock market plunged following a warning from MSCI over transparency and potential trading manipulation, his brother Hashim Djojohadikusumo said on Wednesday.

Speaking in Jakarta, Hashim said the government received four letters from MSCI highlighting concerns in Indonesia’s capital markets.

“President Prabowo was extremely angry about what happened that week, especially because the nation’s honor was at stake and many retail investors suffered losses,” Hashim told the ASEAN Climate Forum at the Indonesia Stock Exchange building.

On Jan. 28, MSCI postponed its review of Indonesian equities and raised the possibility of downgrading the country from emerging market to frontier market status. The announcement triggered sustained pressure on the benchmark index and sparked calls for tighter scrutiny of market regulators.

During the final week of January, the Indonesia Stock Exchange index slid nearly 7%, wiping tens of billions of dollars off market capitalization. IDX Chief Executive Officer Iman Rachman later stepped down, followed by the resignations of two senior officials at the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

“The Indonesian government is determined to protect the credibility and honor of this country. For Mr. Prabowo, the dignity of the republic is paramount. That’s why he will monitor the capital market very closely,” Hashim said.

He warned that fraud risks always emerge when supervision is weak, underscoring the critical role of regulators in ensuring that no parties attempt to deceive investors.

Hashim also sought to reassure foreign investors that the government remains committed to safeguarding market integrity.

“So the president and the government hope you stay vigilant,” he said, addressing OJK Commissioner Hasan Fawzi and acting IDX CEO Jeffrey Hendrik, who were attending the event. “The government will be watching you very closely — and I mean it.”

I haven't been to any gold sellers here lately but i hear that if you try to buy using the Antam's price the answer usually is 'barang kosong', unless you're willing to pay 10% over the Antam's price.

Yes, physical gold, the gold bars, are sometimes difficult to obtain. A month or three ago, the smaller Antam bars of 20g or less were completely unavailable here in East Java.
The premium you pay for Antam bars has been high for a long time. This morning I checked with us, and it was Rp640,000 per gram (24%, for a 10g bar). The gold price at that time was Rp2,675,000/gram, so this bar would have cost Rp33,150,000.
UBS is another well-known brand in Indonesia. In the past, their premium was a quarter to a third of Antam's, but it could be higher now. Unfortunately, it was unavailable today. The premium on the private label gold from a large gold store chain here was Rp175,000/g (10g bar), Rp180,000/g (5g bar), and Rp210,000 (2.5g bar). This 6 to 8% premium is almost a threefold increase in just a few months.
In my experience, if you buy gold bars in a regular store, you have to show ID. You always receive a sales receipt from the store in your name and a store will not buy any gold (bars) back without this receipt. And I believe you also have to file a tax return. Perhaps for this reason, but certainly also because of the high premium on Antam gold bars, there's a fairly vibrant gray market for them. Buying and selling is done through an intermediary. You can get a better price because of a rather large margin on that premium, and some may prefer it for anonymity.
