Prabowo Subianto, the President-elect of Indonesia for the term 2024-2029, wasted no time in returning to his duties just a week after undergoing surgery for a leg injury. He made his first public appearance at the 78th anniversary of Bhayangkara event at Monas, Jakarta, on Monday (July 1), which was officiated by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and attended by various dignitaries and members of the public.
Dressed in a gray suit, Prabowo was warmly welcomed by Jokowi at the event, where he stood upright and saluted, receiving applause from the audience. A day earlier, Prabowo had announced the successful outcome of his surgery on his personal Instagram account @prabowo.
In his post, Prabowo expressed his gratitude to Allah SWT and the medical team at the National Defense Central Hospital (RSPPN) Panglima Besar Soedirman in South Jakarta for their professional care. He also thanked Jokowi for his moral support and prayers during the surgical process.
The leg injury that Prabowo underwent surgery for was a result of two parachuting accidents during his time in the Indonesian National Armed Forces. Despite the risks involved in the medical procedure, Prabowo remained confident in the skills and professionalism of the medical team.
With his health restored, Prabowo reaffirmed his commitment to serving the country and the people of Indonesia. He expressed his readiness to fulfill his duties as the future President, highlighting his dedication to the nation.
