Adhi Makayasa Winner Axel Fahreza: Our Raga Spirit For Indonesia

JAKARTA - The award winner of the 2025 Star Adhi Makayasa from the Air Force Academy (AU), Second Lieutenant Axel Fahreza Aditama, expressed full readiness to serve the nation and state.

"As has been carried out by President Prabowo Subianto, we will hand over our entire body and soul for the benefit of the nation and state," said Axel at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, July 23.

The cadet from Solo, Central Java, was recently appointed as a youth TNI officer at the Prasetya Perwira ceremony led by President Prabowo at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday morning.

Axel, who is only 22 years old, graduated from AAU this year and received the prestigious award Bintang Adhi Makayasa. The title was given to cadets who made the highest achievements in the field of academic, physical, and personality during their education period.

The moment of the inauguration was a day full of emotion and pride for Axel's family. His parents who were present at the ceremony expressed their gratitude for their son's achievements.

"We are very proud and grateful for the achievements achieved by our child. Good luck in the future," said the father.

For Axel, this inauguration is not the end, but the beginning of a big task as a TNI officer. He expressed his determination to carry out the mandate with full responsibility.

"This is a first step for us, the 2025 officer, to serve the country. Of course we ask for our parents' blessing so that we are given smoothness in carrying out our duties," he said.

Previously, President Prabowo Subianto pinned a rank mark on eight award winners of Bintang Adhi Makayasa from each TNI and Polri academy.

They are Sermatar Alim Bimo Pratowo and Muhammad Afridzal Mukhlis from the Military Academy; Sermatar Menanda Putra Duta and Aryya Handaru from the Naval Academy; Sermatar Evan Basith Reswara and Axel Fahreza Aditama from the Air Force Academy; and Brigadier Muhammad Malik Aditya Kurniawan and Fathan Putra Rivito from the Police Academy.

The Bintang Adhi Makayasa award is a symbol of the highest achievement in the TNI and Polri academies. This title is given to cadets who show academic excellence, physical toughness, and personality integrity during the education period.
