BOGOR - President Prabowo Subianto asked the National Police not to be complacent even though it had succeeded in uncovering thousands of narcotics cases, eradicating online gambling, and keeping Indonesia free from acts of terrorism in recent years. According to him, the biggest challenge is not yet over because the people are still overshadowed by poverty caused by corruption and various illegal economic practices.
Prabowo conveyed this message when he led the 80th Bhayangkara Day ceremony at the Polri Brimob Training Center, Cikeas, Bogor Regency, Wednesday (1/7).
The President appreciated the success of the National Police together with other ministries and agencies in uncovering thousands of narcotics cases, eradicating online gambling, and maintaining zero incidents of terrorism.
However, the appreciation was followed by a stern warning.
"Let's not be complacent. Never be satisfied. The challenge is still big," said Prabowo.
He assessed that the biggest problem of the nation has not been resolved because millions of people still live in poverty. According to Prabowo, this condition does not stand alone, but is closely related to the practice of corruption, smuggling, and various illegal economic activities that erode people's rights.
"Our people are still suffering from poverty and this poverty is a direct result of corruption, smuggling, and illegal economic activities," he said.
Therefore, the President asked the National Police to continue to improve its ability to deal with increasingly complex crimes, ranging from narcotics, human trafficking, cybercrime, to white collar crime practices that harm the country.
Prabowo emphasized that the success of law enforcement was not only measured by the number of cases revealed, but also by the state's ability to protect the people and narrow the space for crimes that hinder public welfare.
