JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto revealed several performances of the Red and White Cabinet (KMP) which he considered had had had many positive impacts on the community even though the cabinet of its leaders had only served for a short period of about 1.5 months.

"It can be said that we have only been able to take over the administration of this country for one month, but we have been able to give to the people important things," Prabowo said in his introduction to the Plenary Cabinet Session at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, December 2.

The Head of State revealed that the first policy produced by the Red and White Cabinet and had a positive impact on the community was the elimination of debt in the field of MSMEs, especially for farmers and fishermen.

Prabowo assessed that the abolition of the debt had been eagerly awaited by the MSME actors and after being ratified the regulation was responded positively to by industry players.

"For the farmers, our fishermen, I think this is very much felt. So that now they can be more enthusiastic, more active again," said Prabowo.

The next policy that has been born by the Red and White Cabinet in a short time is regarding the increase in the Minimum Wage.

Thanks to the hard work of the coordinating minister and related ministers, the President assessed that the increase in wages could be achieved and could even touch others such as teachers.

"The minimum wage has also increased. Thank you to the working parties. The Minister of Manpower, the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture and the PM. Thank you. Also to improve the welfare of teachers, thank you especially to the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Basic and Secondary Education," said Prabowo.

Another policy that is no less important at the end of the year and according to the President, it has a direct impact on the community is a decrease in plane ticket prices by up to 10 percent.

Its cabinet members who are tasked with dealing with the decrease in ticket prices because if you look back, previously the price of transportation tickets, especially aircraft at the end of the year, was common to experience a rapid increase.

However, under good coordination and teamwork, the Red and White Cabinet can break this habit and can provide a little relief for the community at the end of the year to travel more affordablely.

"Terima kasih Menteri Perhubungan dan semua menteri-menteri BUMN, terima kasih. Ini akibatteamworkyang baik di antara kita, di antara saudara-saudara. Saya merasakan di mana-mana, rakyat merasa bahwa kita terus pada komitmen kita untuk selalu berpihak kepada rakyat, berpihak kepada kepentingan nasional," kata Presiden.

The government's success in maintaining food reserves is due to increased commodity production. He appreciated the Coordinating Minister for Food and related ministers for successfully creating large amounts of food reserves.

"Our food reserves may be the largest in recent years. I think those in our warehouse are close to 2 million tons," said the President.

The handling of disasters in Flores over the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki was also appreciated by Prabowo because according to him all the needs of the community and the mitigation process went smoothly even though he was not in Indonesia.

Finally, Prabowo also praised all parties involved in the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) process because it can keep the process running well and regularly.
