Candra Irawan, Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni of Bengkulu University, recently participated in a Panel Discussion with Indonesian President Prabowo and other university leaders at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. The President’s insights on Indonesia’s rich but underutilized natural resources left a lasting impression on Candra. Prabowo emphasized the potential of resources like nickel, bauxite, and minerals to empower the Indonesian people, highlighting his vision for the country’s future.
Of particular interest to Candra was Prabowo’s focus on implementing budget-saving measures across ministries and institutions. By addressing leaks in the state budget and improving operational efficiency, Prabowo aims to reallocate resources towards infrastructure development and overall progress in Indonesia. Candra expressed optimism about the positive impact of these initiatives under Prabowo’s leadership, believing they will contribute to a more prosperous and optimistic Indonesia.
Reflecting on the panel discussion, Candra remains hopeful for a better future under Prabowo’s administration. He underscored the importance of efficient resource management and fiscal responsibility in driving Indonesia’s growth and development. This experience has reinforced Candra’s confidence in the direction that Indonesia is headed under Prabowo’s leadership.
