President-elect Prabowo Subianto expressed his concern about the habit of Indonesians insulting each other, especially when it comes to leaders, without considering their accomplishments.
During the closing of the 3rd Congress of the National Democrat Party (NasDem) at JCC, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday, August 27, Prabowo stated, “I am saddened if we have a tradition of constantly belittling and insulting our leaders.”
He commended President Joko Widodo’s achievements, highlighting Jokowi’s leadership in maintaining inflation at 2.5%, which has earned recognition from many countries.
Prabowo emphasized that Indonesia’s quick recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic under Jokowi’s leadership was not a coincidence but a significant accomplishment.
“I’m not taking sides, but I believe in calling out what is right and what is wrong,” he added.
Addressing NasDem members, Prabowo expressed his appreciation for the party’s support and called for continued unity in nation-building efforts.
“Thank you to NasDem for standing with me. Let’s stay united, work together, and demonstrate our commitment to serving the people of Indonesia,” Prabowo concluded.(RR)
