JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto talked about the meaning of the rank that was embedded in the ranks of the Indonesian State Army (TNI) and the National Police.

In a briefing at the leadership meeting (rapim) of the TNI and Polri in 2025, Prabowo emphasized that the rank of the star on the shoulders of the army and the police was a form of respect from the people.

"Respectation from the people because the people leave their security fate to the brothers and sisters. The people give protection to themselves, to their future, and the future of the entire nation on the shoulders of the brothers and sisters," said Prabowo at The Tribrata building, Jalan Dharmawangsa III, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Thursday, January 30.

According to Prabowo, the rank given by Prabowo means that TNI and Polri soldiers should surrender their bodies and bodies without hesitation when needed by the community.

"If you dare to use the rank of general, it means that you must be the first to dare to give your life for the benefit of the nation and state. That is the meaning of the rank given," explained Prabowo.

Prabowo emphasized that the characteristics of failed countries are failed soldiers and police. The state apparatus was given power to monopolize physically and weapons.

"This power is enormous, the people who entrust this trust to all of you," he said.

Prabowo emphasized that soldiers and police work and earn money from people's money. The people hand over power to the TNI and Polri so that they can serve the nation.

"The people who pay you, the people who equip you from foot to to head, the people who feed the army and the police, and the people give power to the army and police to hold the monopoly of weapons," he added.
