Hambalang — President-elect Prabowo Subianto has called on Gerindra Party members who were elected to the House of Representatives (DPR) to stay loyal to the people and the Indonesian nation. He made this statement during a briefing to party members at the Garuda Yaksa Hall in Hambalang, Bogor, West Java, on Monday (September 23).
“Thank you, my comrades, as the fighters at the forefront. I thank you once again for your loyalty. Remember, serving and working for our people is the right path. We stand tall, our loyalty is to the people, to our nation,” Prabowo said.
He emphasized that this loyalty should be directed towards the people, not towards himself personally. He emphasized that if he ever deviates from the right path, they should feel free to distance themselves from him.
“I ask you not to be loyal to me as an individual. As long as I fight for what is right, I ask for your support. But the moment you sense that I am no longer on the right path, you have my permission to leave me,” Prabowo stated.
He also reiterated his unwavering commitment to protect the people, especially the poor, and uphold the honor of the Indonesian nation.
“My oath remains: I want to die for the truth. I want to die defending my people, I want to die defending the poor, I want to die defending the honor of the Indonesian nation, and I have no doubts about that,” Prabowo concluded. (RR)
