JAKARTA - Presidential Candidates and vice presidential candidates for the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming have completed a medical test at the Gatot Soebroto Army Central Hospital (RSPAD) after nearly 10 hours of examination.

Prabowo admitted that he was wary of the doctor's verdict for the results of his medical examination today.

Initially, the general chairman of the Gerindra Party still thanked the KPU, the head of the RSPAD, and all the nurses and ASN who had held health checks for him and Gibran.

"We feel very orderly, professional, I am very grateful and I am proud of the very professional Indonesian male-daughter health care doctors," said Prabowo at the Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital, Jakarta, Thursday, October 26.

Prabowo admitted that he was worried about the results of his medical examination as one of the requirements to qualify or not to become a presidential candidate by the KPU. Even so, he predicts his health will be in excellent condition.

"I am very proud even though I have to admit that every health check I have always been in the dug, I have been a bit worried until now waiting for a verdict," said Prabowo.

"But thank God, doctors and nurses have a lot of smiles, so I think the results of the examination are pretty good," he continued.

The Minister of Defense admitted that there was no preparation, especially before undergoing today's medical test, apart from fasting, exercising and drinking a cup of clove tea.

"There is no special preparation, the fire was told to fast for 12 hours. This morning I still had time to swim ready mentally," Prabowo explained.

Prabowo also revealed a secret about his health. The former Danjen Kopassus admitted that he was afraid of needles.

"Can I admit it or not? I am a former Kopassus but I am afraid of being injected, it is better for me to jump 10 times than to be injected," said Prabowo.
