JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that power must be used to defend truth, justice, and honesty, not to allow corruption and embezzlement to damage the country.
In front of the ulama, Islamic figures, members of the Red and White Cabinet and invited guests at the 1447 Hijriah Nuzulul Qur'an commemoration held at the State Palace, Tuesday, March 10, Prabowo also reminded Indonesia not to lose to parties who take the wealth of the people and take it abroad.
He said leadership was not just a position, but a trust to defend the truth, honesty, and the welfare of the people.
"Power is given as an assignment to defend truth, justice, and honesty," said Prabowo.
In the midst of a global situation that he described as full of uncertainty and danger, Prabowo emphasized that Indonesia would still choose the path of peace. The government is determined to maintain good relations with all countries and not interfere in the internal affairs of other nations.
However, for Prabowo, peace is not enough to be maintained through prayer alone. Peace must be built with hard work, prosperity, and real justice.
The President then highlighted the problems in the country. According to Prabowo, Indonesia has great wealth, so there should be no people living in poverty, hunger, or abandoned. Therefore, he asked leaders to work seriously and clean.
Prabowo also emphasized that eradicating corruption was a basic requirement if Indonesia wanted to progress. "No country succeeds when its government is unable to cleanse itself of corruption," he said.
The President even alluded to parties who took the wealth of the people and took it abroad. Against such groups, Prabowo emphasized his firm stance.
"We will eradicate them, we will face them, and we will uphold truth and justice," said Prabowo.
