TANGERANG - Candidate for Vice President number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, has returned to distributing free milk.

This was done by Gibran during a visit to the Asshiddiqiyah 2 Islamic Boarding School located in Batu Ceper, Tangerang.

"Earlier, we were able to eat lunch with milk, if we want to continue Indonesia Gold, we have to automatically prepare a golden generation as well," said Gibran in a political campaign with the theme Gibran Hearing Santri Talks, Monday, December 4.

Gibran hopes that by providing free milk, the students can grow healthy and smart.

"Hopefully everyone is healthy, all must be strong, automatically everyone must be smart," said Gibran.

He also mentioned stunting or chronic nutrition problems due to a lack of nutritional intake in the long term.

Lack of nutritional intake for a long time can be at risk of disrupting growth in children.

"Please allow Mrs. Nyai, the problem of stunting, so as a teenager there should have been an anemia screening," said Gibran.
