One can only guess what the minister’s motivation was in making such claims. And the fact that he did it during a celebrity podcast, rather than speaking directly to journalists, reflects a growing preference among many high-ranking Indonesian politicians. 

With the benefit of hindsight, Corbuzier is a solid and safe choice. While he occasionally throws his guests some hard punches, Corbuzier rarely probes deeply on controversial issues nor does he do adequate research on the topics he engages his guests on. This tends to let his guests off the hook easily. Being an entertainer, his main motivation is to garner clicks and a wide viewership. He does not appear to approach his interviews with journalistic integrity. Perhaps this is exactly why his guests have flocked to his platform and other channels alike, such as the ones hosted by Indonesia’s ex-king of quiz, Helmy Yahya, and musician-turned-vlogger, Anji.

Had Panjaitan’s interview been conducted by a journalist or at least someone more politically informed, the minister’s claims could have been debunked, or at least challenged, on the spot. The minister would have been held accountable for his false claims. But from a politician’s perspective, Corbuzier’s podcast provided an opportunity to access a large audience to advance his intended messages without having to face tough questions.
