JAKARTA - The Indonesian Minister of Defense (Menhan) Prabowo Subianto emphasized the need to strengthen the defense aspect in the country. This was conveyed by Prabowo when inaugurating the construction of a fast missile ship by PT PAL Indonesia.
"Defense should not be ignored. A rich country without a strong defense will be trampled on by other nations. The nation will be dictated by other nations, its wealth will be seized by other nations," Prabowo said, quoted from his official Facebook, Tuesday, December 7 .
The former General Commander of Special Forces Command (Danjen Kopassus) said the manufacture of fast missile boats was also aimed at fulfilling the mandate of the law. One of them, is to protect all of Indonesia's bloodshed.
Furthermore, Prabowo reminded the domestic defense industry to rise and be able to become the driving force of the Indonesian economy. Not only that, but he also hopes that the need for defense equipment must create industrial independence.
"Indonesia is safe, the economy is growing," he said.
Still, in the same post, Prabowo also had time to express his deep condolences over the eruption of Mount Semeru in East Java. "We believe that our affected brothers and sisters will always be in the protection of Allah SWT, the Almighty God and we will always be here to strengthen them," he said.
"A merciful God will always protect our nation, our country will always be strong when we continue to be in unity. Amen, Ya Rabbal Alamiin," Prabowo concluded.
