CILEGON - President Prabowo Subianto emphasized the importance of maintaining a culture of respect for the leader when inaugurating the Lotte Chemical Indonesia factory in Cilegon, Banten, Thursday (6/11/2025). He assessed that South Korea's investment of IDR 65 trillion was the result of the 7th President's lobby, Joko Widodo.
Prabowo said Jokowi deserved to attend this event. However, Jokowi apologized for not being able to come. "After all, this is one of his achievements. It started in his time," said Prabowo.
He reminded the public not to be trapped in a culture that vilifies leaders after stepping down. "Leaders are human beings, there must be shortcomings. What is good is that we raise it as high as possible, we fix the shortcomings," he said. Prabowo said the Javanese saying 'milk dhuwur, mendhem jero' as an important tradition of the nation that must be maintained.
Prabowo also dismissed the issue that he was controlled by Jokowi. "There is no such thing. He never left anything with me. I'm a hopeng with him, why are I afraid," he said.

"This is today's achievement. I'm proud," he concluded.
