The Award That Megawati Received From President Jokowi Is Proud Of

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo awarded a number of honors to a number of figures, one of which is the Chairperson of the PDI-P, Megawati Soekarnoputri. The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia is awarded the Pioneer Medal.

Secretary General of the PDI Perjuangan DPP, Hasto Kristiyanto said that the giving of services to Megawati Soekarnoputri was very proud. Moreover, Mega's achievements and innovations were able to help Indonesia get out of its problems.

"This award is very encouraging. Ms. Megawati Soekarnoputri in her capacity as the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia has proven to be able to solve the multidimensional crisis by presenting a reconciliative leadership with the most compact and best cabinet composition after the 1999 reform," said Hasto in his statement, Thursday, 13 August.

In fact, he said, the Gotong Royong Cabinet formed by Mega was nicknamed the dream team. The reason was that leadership strength, professionalism, and ability could overcome problems which at that time became a frightening specter for Indonesia.

"Mrs. Megawati is also putting in place a better future. Her leadership brought about the most democratic elections after 1955," said Hasto.

In addition, in the book The Brave Lady, Megawati Soekarnoputri is a visionary leader. This is because some of the institutions he formed reflect the state's presence for the people.

For example, the Constitutional Court, Judicial Commission, National Narcotics Agency, Deposit Insurance Agency, Geophysical Climatology Meteorology Agency (BMKG), National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Densus-88, Komnas HAM, Komnas Perempuan, Komnas Children, Elderly National Commission, Police School, Tourism Police, and BIN School.

"So many state institutions are effectively present and proven that the formation of these state institutions reflects the visionary leadership of Mrs. Megawati," said Hasto.

In fact, Megawati is also the President who cares most about the environment. This was evidenced by the environmental cleaning activities initiated by him.

All PDIP cadres are also obliged to participate in this activity. So, indirectly all cadres have a love for nature.

"All Party members and cadres are taught how to love the earth through the movement of planting, cleaning rivers and the environment, and saving river springs as springs of life," he said.

Megawati's leadership is also considered the best way. This is because his leadership prioritizes the country's life force by putting in place a strong, professional and systemic and visionary governance.

"Congratulations to Ms. Megawati Soekarnoputri. Political beliefs faced with various pressures of power during the New Order, proved defeated by moral forces," said Hasto.
