JAKARTA - Member of the Steering Committee of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Hashim Djojohadikusumo revealed the reason for the presidential candidate number 2 to make the free lunch and milk program a mainstay program.

According to Hashim, Prabowo is obsessed with the program because he is anxious about thinking about Indonesian children whose nutrition is not fulfilled so that the average Intelligence Quotients (IQ) is only at 70.

Hashim said that 17teen years ago when he returned from Europe he admitted that he was confused by the term stunting mentioned by Prabowo. At that time, the brother of the son and sister of the economy had no idea to establish a party. However, in a conversation the two suddenly discussed children's nutrition.

"At that time Pak Prabowo told me, the general chairman of HKPI, the Indonesian Farmers Harmony Association, and I am very concerned because I received data, 30 percent of Indonesian children under the age of 5 suffered from stunting conditions," said Hashim at The Darmawangsa Jakarta, Wednesday, December 20.

He also wondered why Prabowo was so interested in discussing stunting. Apparently, he said, malnutrition greatly threatens the condition of the nation's future.

"I'm confused, I don't know frankly, I don't know what stunting is, I don't understand and I'm confused about how there is a former Kopassus general, a red beret who talks about children's malnutrition and this is a threat to the Indonesian people," he said.

"Stunting is what, the condition of children who become bigger but less nutrition, not hunger but malnourished, their stomach is full but with food that is not quality, not nutritious, the nutrition is not enough and this can threaten the condition of the Indonesian nation," continued Hashim.

The deputy chairman of the Gerindra Party's Board of Trustees then said that 30 percent of Indonesian children were stunted with an average IQ score of 70. According to him, the brain capacity is not smarter than Gorillas and Orang Utan.

"He (Prabowo) said try to imagine 15-20 years from the age of people who entered our workforce 30 percent with brain defects, with IQ 70. I am a bit confused that stunting caused children of IQ 70. This is a disaster, according to Prabowo it is a disaster, so he said one solution we provide nutrition and enough food so that we prevent humans with IQ 70. At least 105, but 30 percent of our people with IQ 70. What does it mean? A little above the monkey, the monkey above the gorilla, I think the gorilla and the orangutan are more smart than 70, this is a very serious condition," he explained.

Therefore, said Hashim, Presidential Candidate and Vice Presidential Candidate number 2 Prabowo-Gibran offers free lunch and milk programs to improve and fulfill the nutrition of Indonesian children.

"And this is Prabowo's idea solely since 2006. I testify that Prabowo is obsessed, every time I meet him, almost every time he talks about nutrition, nutrition, nutrition, milk, fish, green beans, free food," said Hasim.

"And when it is inaugurated, God willing, as president and vice president of the Republic of Indonesia, they will start an extraordinary program, free meals once a day, free lunch, 78 million pre-school school children to children, bocil bocil," he concluded.
