JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that pencak silat is not just self-defense. He called it the foundation for the formation of character and national strength.
In his speech at the opening of the XIV IPSI National Congress at the JCC, Senayan, Jakarta, Saturday, April 11, Prabowo emphasized that the strength of a country is not only determined by economics or technology, but also human quality.
"Strong physically, strong in spirit, strong in faith," he said.
According to the President, pencak silat teaches these basic values. Starting from discipline, courage, to defending the weak.
He reminded, history shows that a strong nation is born from a strong people. Every individual must be able to take care of themselves, their families, and their environment.
Prabowo also highlighted the role of pencak silat as a cultural heritage. He assessed that this martial art reflects the Indonesian personality, namely being brave, but humble.
Therefore, he asked IPSI not only to pursue achievements, but also to maintain the purity of teachings.
