00:00President-elect Prabowo Subianto is preparing his cabinet after the October 20th session.

00:07Former Commander Kopassus is said to form a cabinet dominated by professionals aka the Zaken Cabinet.

00:15The Zaken Cabinet is a type of cabinet that the arrangement of the minister comes from the experts in his field,

00:22not just a representation of a certain political party.

00:26Even so, the experts can still come from political parties as long as they have competent competencies.

00:35The main function of the Zaken Cabinet is to avoid the occurrence of high-level cabinet functions,

00:42maximize the performance of ministers, and minimize the risk of corruption.

00:49In Indonesian history, the Zaken Cabinet first appeared in the 1957-1959 period,

00:56when the country experienced instability.

01:06which was appointed on April 9, 1957 and ended on July 5, 1959.

01:17which was formed without considering the number of seats in parliament.

01:21The Juanda Cabinet is named the Cabinet of Works,

01:25because it does not come from a political party and has two military members in it.

01:31Prabowo's plan to form the Zaken Cabinet received cynical comments from the Director-Executive of the Political Era

02:01not from the political party.
