JAKARTA - Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto joined the dance in front of President Joko Widodo and invited guests when child singer Farel Prayoga performed the song "Ojo Dibandingke" at the Merdeka Palace Courtyard.

Initially, the young singer from Banyuwangi, East Java, sang alone under the main podium in front of President Jokowi, during the closing ceremony of the Commemoration of the Seconds of the Proclamation at the Merdeka Palace Courtyard.

Then a number of public figures came under the main podium to dance side by side with Farel, one of which was presenter Indra Bekti. Not long after, Prabowo also came down and danced and grabbed the attention of the invited guests.

When asked about his dancing, Prabowo admitted that the action was authorized by the President.

"The President's permission," said Prabowo, met after the Commemoration Ceremony of the Seconds of the Proclamation.

Meanwhile, First Lady Iriana Joko Widodo also seemed to be dancing from her seat on the main podium. The ministers and invited guests also danced excitedly, including the National Police Chief General Pol Listyo Sigit Prabowo and Army Chief of Staff General Dudung Abdurachman.

Prabowo said he was very proud of all the troops who served in the Commemoration Ceremony of the Seconds of the Proclamation at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta.

"Good, all the troops are extraordinary, Paskibraka is extraordinary, I am proud. (Flypass) We are also proud," he said.
