JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that his government does not want to be busy with grandiose projects, but neglect the basic needs of residents in remote villages.
The size is simple. Small people must be able to cross safely, children must no longer go to school with wet clothes.
The message was conveyed by President Prabowo when he officially opened 218 bridges online which were worked on in 2.5 months in Hambalang, Bogor, Monday, March 9.
The inaugurated bridge consists of 77 Bailey bridges, 59 Armco bridges, and 82 pioneer bridges. This program is in line with the task force for accelerating the construction of bridges led by the KSAD General TNI Maruli Simanjuntak.
Prabowo rejected the view that small bridges in remote areas were not strategic projects.
"Maybe some people think that crossing a few tens of meters is not strategic," said Prabowo.
For him, it is precisely there that the size of the state's presence is. The government, said Prabowo, must not allow people in remote villages and villages to continue to live in risk just because basic access is not available.
"I now sleep more peacefully, because children in remote villages no longer have to cross the river in dangerous conditions," he said.
He called the construction of this bridge as proof that the government is present to the smallest point. Not only in the city, but also in villages and villages.
Prabowo also praised the TNI as the main pillar that moved quickly to help the people. According to him, the inauguration of the bridge is not just about concrete and steel, but about the country's commitment to the people who are the furthest and most often overlooked.
