Overreacting media, sure, as always.
But... it's always a chain of events. This happened in VMC conditions, the Mark I Eyeball came in handy.
to start with: not sure if that was really intended: reciprocal course, same altitude...
1st event: "Right 160", followed by "Disregard, left turn 360" is not what one expects for smooth vectoring. But no harm done, except bringing the KLM slightly more to the east of the centerline
2nd event: pretty sure, that went not as planned. Indonesia seems to slightly overshoot the LLZ. ATC stepped in on 'Regionals' transmission, to make Indonesia turn to 160°. ATC's hartbeats must have been on the rise...
3rd event: luckily there wasn't any, otherwise TCAS would have stepped in. Only ATC apologizing (last words on the recording: "
this was certainly not the intention, my apologies for that")
Some lessons to be learned for sure, but final conclusion: media overdramatizing
