JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto praised the involvement of the National Police in the implementation of the free nutritious meal (MBG) program. Prabowo stated that the National Police had succeeded in capturing the crucial issues for the safety of the nation.
The appreciation was conveyed by President Prabowo at the inauguration and groundbreaking of 1,179 Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) and the inauguration of 18 Polri food security warehouses in Palmerah, West Jakarta, Friday.
"I really feel happy today, I feel happy, I feel satisfied, because I see one of the institutions that is very important for our country and nation, namely the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia, has taken the initiative, perhaps in an area that seems to be not its main task. But the leadership of the National Police has caught the problem that is crucial for the safety of a nation," said Prabowo.
According to the President, the leadership of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has shown a broader understanding of public security and order, which is closely related to the safety, happiness, and hope of the people.
Prabowo also expressed his appreciation to the National Police Chief and his staff for the steps taken. The Head of State assessed that this leadership approach was in line with the view that real security was realized when the community was free from fundamental threats, including food problems.
"The main task, yes, leading the police as law enforcement, as the main actors to maintain security, public order, yes. But the bigger understanding is security, public order is actually when the community, the people, feel safe, feel happy, feel hopeful," said Prabowo.
"And humans everywhere, whatever their religion, whatever their race, whatever their ethnic group, any human being, a father and a mother whose main thinking, their main concern is the security and welfare of their family, their children. And the first security is safe from hunger," he said.
The Head of State considers the Free Nutritious Meal program to be a necessity for the majority of the people and has been implemented in many countries, including developed and democratic countries. The program is considered important to ensure family welfare, especially for the underprivileged.
"Thank you to the leadership of the National Police. Thank you for your achievements, your dedication. Continue this. The closer you are to the people, the more the people love you, the more our country is safe, orderly, and strong," said the President.
