as posted by the channel

Is Indonesia considering a toll for the world’s busiest maritime corridor? In this video, we dive into the recent proposal by the Indonesian Finance Minister regarding the imposition of tolls on ships transiting the Malacca Strait. We explore the massive geopolitical and economic implications this could have, particularly for major trade partners like China, and why this move is causing waves in Malaysia and Singapore.

Beyond the headlines, we take a deep dive into the historical and strategic context of the region—from the legacy of the Majapahit and Srivijaya empires to the modern-day risks of regional instability and foreign interference.
