JAKARTA - Candidate for vice president number 3, Mahfud MD, stated his commitment with presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo to pay attention to the future welfare of Indonesian athletes. This was conveyed in the event "Tabrak, Prof!" at the Bloc Post, Jakarta, Wednesday night (7/2).
Mahfud emphasized that the welfare of athletes will be the focus of the nation's development program they carry.
"This has also become our note in the context of our nation's development and development programs in the future," said Mahfud.
According to Mahfud, attention to the welfare of athletes is very important, considering that their lives are often inversely proportional after they no longer excel.
"There are a lot of our sports ambassadors when they stop, that's the future or the economic life no one takes care of. When they are just doing achievements, sometimes those who excel are given a house. After that, they don't excel anymore, then they are forgotten," he explained.
Mahfud also gave examples such as the fate of former boxer, Mas Ellyas Pical, who is currently experiencing economic uncertainty after retiring from the world of sports.
