JAKARTA - A number of academics appreciate the various achievements presented by President Prabowo Subianto in the Mid-Year 2026 Plenary Cabinet Meeting at the State Palace, Jakarta, Monday (20/7/2026). They assess the government's success in solving 108 national issues as proof that the Prabowo government prioritizes real work with measurable results.
During the cabinet meeting, President Prabowo conveyed various government achievements in the fields of economy, food security, industrial downstream, to state wealth management. Various achievements are considered to reflect the government's commitment to realizing priority programs since the beginning of the term.
The academic of the North Sumatra Muhammadiyah University (UMSU), Dr. Isthifa Kemal, M.Pd, said the President's exposure showed leadership that was oriented towards results, not just rhetoric.
"The president is not just talking about hope, but delivering concrete numbers. A total of 108 national problems that were completed in less than two years is not an easy figure. This is proof that the Prabowo government does not spend time just making promises, but works to produce measurable and accountable outputs," said Isthifa in a written statement, Saturday (25/7).
According to him, the achievements conveyed by the President are not only related to physical development and economic indicators, but also become the foundation for human resource development towards Indonesia's Gold 2045.
MBG Program and Long-Term Investment in Human Capital
Isthifa specifically highlighted the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program, which is targeted to reach 82.9 million beneficiaries by the end of 2026.
He assessed that MBG is a long-term investment that will improve the quality of Indonesian human resources.
"Children who are covered by the gift will be better prepared to receive learning and grow into a productive generation. When the President targets 82.9 million beneficiaries, he is laying the most important foundation for Indonesia's Gold 2045. This is a long-term investment for the quality of the nation's generation," he said.
In addition, Isthifa also appreciated President Prabowo's message to the cabinet to remain humble or ojo dumeh even though he has recorded various achievements.
According to him, this attitude is an important leadership example for the younger generation in building the character of the nation.
Food Security, Processing, and Diversification are in the Spotlight
A similar appreciation was conveyed by academics and public policy observers, Dr. Iswadi, M.Pd. According to him, the plenary Cabinet Meeting is a momentum to see the realization of various programs promised by President Prabowo since the beginning of his administration.
"A total of 108 national problems were solved in less than two years. Andantara stands as the first sovereign institution in the history of the nation with assets of more than USD 1,000 billion. The 26 projects are being implemented with an investment of Rp. 225 trillion and a target of absorbing more than 37 thousand workers. This is not just a promise, but a realization," he said.
He also assessed the government's achievements in the food and energy sectors as an important milestone in strengthening national independence.
According to Iswadi, the national rice reserves, which reached the highest point in history, the increase in farmers' exchange rates, and the implementation of B50 biodiesel, which is able to stop importing solar, are real indicators of the government's success.
"Rice reserves are at the highest point in history, farmers' exchange rates have reached a record, and B50 which stops solar imports shows that Indonesia is moving towards food and energy independence simultaneously. Food self-sufficiency in the era of President Prabowo is a fast, strategic, and historic achievement," he said.
He added that these achievements are an important capital to continue the government's priority programs in the following years.
"A combination of measured execution, a humble attitude of nationalism, and a long-term vision is a very valuable leadership capital. The completion of 108 national issues, the establishment of Danantara, the acceleration of downstream processing, the strengthening of food security, and the Free Nutritious Meal Program which reaches tens of millions of Indonesian children are proof of the government's commitment in realizing Golden Indonesia 2045," concluded Iswadi.
