JAKARTA - The presidential candidate who won the 2024 presidential election Prabowo Subianto received a gift of a painting with a coral image that was hit by waves from the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).

Painting is given during a gathering and iftar with the elected president in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 27.

Prabowo admitted that he was touched because SBY respected him so much that a painting entitled'standard firm like rocks' was specially made by the Chairman of the Democratic Party's High Council.

"So Mr. SBY, I am very touched because you respect me so much. With your own hands, you gave me a painting, it was an extraordinary honor," Prabowo said in his remarks at the Democratic Party's boarding house.

Pranowo then wanted to display a painting of SBY's gift at the Presidential Palace which he would later occupy after being officially sworn in as the 8th president.

"I will find a good place for this painting. Maybe in the new presidential palace," said Prabowo.

Prabowo also revealed that he and SBY have many similarities. One of them was trained by the 45th generation when he was still in Akabri.

"By figures who are can be said to our nation, the best generation, they are the ones of war for us to be independent, who celebrate their body and soul for us to be independent and we experience direct envelopes from them," said the former Danjen Kopassus.

The General Chairperson of Gerindra said that this was what made him strong as what SBY depicted in his painting. He also thanked the gift made with SBY's own hands.

"So maybe that's what makes us strong Pak SBY, that's what makes us possible for me to fight, I'm trying to be a figure like the rock you mentioned earlier," said Prabowo.

"Once again I can only thank Mr. SBY, Mr. AHY, the big figures of the Democratic Party," he concluded.

Previously, SBY submitted a painting that he specifically made with only 5 hours. The reason is, the event of gathering and the elected president's meeting was originally scheduled to be held tomorrow, but the time has been accelerated.

"Earlier, after dawn, my prayers were finished, I went straight to the studio. For 5 hours I completed this, Mr. Prabowo for my beloved father, I gave this a title, listen to the title, standard firm like rocks, it means strong and sturdy like rocks, rocks in the middle of the Ocean," said SBY.

SBY hopes that Prabowo will become a strong leader like the rock that was hit by the waves in his painting.

"This is Pak Prabowo's belief in our future leader, in my hope, and also our prayers so that Pak Prabowo is strong, strong like this rock advances Indonesia, improves the welfare of the people, upholds law and justice, and other tasks that will be carried out by him later. Hopefully, it will be pleased," said SBY.
