In less than a year, Joko Widodo's term as seventh president of Indonesia has ended. However, at the end of his term of office, Jokowi is considered to have injured the public by awarding the title of honorary general to Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto.

Wednesday (28/2/2024), Jokowi officially conferred Prabowo a special promotion to become an Honorary TNI General Retired at the TNI/Polri Leadership Meeting at GOR Ahmad Yani, TNI Headquarters, Cilangkap, East Jakarta.

Prabowo, who was originally a Lieutenant General (Ret.) or three-star, now has the rank of General (Hor) or four-star.

In the 2024 TNI leadership meeting (rapid) at TNI Headquarters, Cilangkap, Jakarta, President Jokowi awarded the award to the Minister of Defense because he was considered meritorious and contributed to the nation's development, especially in the field of defense and security.

"I would like to convey the awarding of a special rank in the form of an honorary TNI General to Mr. Prabowo Subianto. This award is a form of appreciation as well as affirmation to fully serve the people, to the nation, and to the state," said President Jokowi at the TNI-Polri Rapim event at TNI Headquarters, Cilangkap, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 28.

In the series of meetings, Jokowi released the rank of a three-star general, and pinned the rank of a four-star general to Prabowo, as well as submitted the presidential decree (keppres) which became the basis for the promotion of the special rank. Prabowo at the event wore the TNI PDU uniform complete with brevets, honors, and honors.

Prabowo received a special promotion based on Presidential Decree (Keppres) Number 13/TNI/2024 which was signed by President Jokowi on February 21, 2024.

Thus, as of today, the Indonesian Defense Minister officially holds the title of General of the TNI (HOR)" in front of his name. He added a row of retired TNI officers who received the award of promotion to the special rank of honorary general after Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Hendropriyono, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and Sarwo Edhie Wibowo.
