JAKARTA - President Director of PT Pindad (Persero) Sigit Puji Santosa ensures that his company is ready to provide a transparent glass presidential car design so that it can make it easier for President Prabowo Subianto to greet the people.
Sigit said his party had received a direct request from President Prabowo regarding the preparation of special glass vehicles and is currently making preparations.
"If that's true, we'll continue to prepare," said Sigit, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, May 18.
He emphasized that the request for the manufacture of a transparent glass car came directly from President Prabowo.
However, Pindad has not been able to reveal details of the specifications or the time of completion.
"Yes, we are ready," he said.
Regarding the target time for the work, Sigit has not given certainty.
He asked to wait for an official announcement from the government.
"Wait for the date of the game later," added Sigit.
The request for the design of the presidential car emerged when President Prabowo Subianto gave a speech at the launch of 1,061 Red and White Village/Village Cooperative outlets in Nganjuk Regency, East Java, Saturday (16/5).
President Prabowo began his request by telling a story about people who were enthusiastic to shake hands on every working visit of the President of the Republic of Indonesia in various regions, including when President Prabowo visited Nganjuk Regency and Tuban Regency, East Java, Saturday (16/5).
"But that's the risk, I say they wait for hours in the sun. I'm thinking again, ask Pindad, where is Professor Sigit, where is it? No? Try designing a special car for the President to wear that glass that has a seat, but it looks like I'm standing," said the President to Pindad.
President Prabowo has been using the Maung Garuda presidential car which was specially designed for the President of the Republic of Indonesia by the domestic defense industry PT Pindad.
Professor Sigit, the name called by the President when he gave a speech at the launch of KDKMP, refers to Sigit Puji Santosa, the designer of Maung Garuda, who is currently serving as President Director of PT Pindad and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Danantara.
Maung Garuda, the domestically produced presidential car, has been used by President Prabowo since his first day as President of the Republic of Indonesia on October 20, 2024.
The presidential car Maung Garuda is not only used by President Prabowo in the country. In the 48th ASEAN Summit event series, some time ago, Maung Garuda was brought to the event location in Cebu, Philippines, to become President Prabowo's official vehicle for several days to attend the Summit.
