Candra Irawan, Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni at Bengkulu University, recently participated in a Panel Discussion with Indonesian President Prabowo and various Rectors and Leaders of State and Private Universities at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. Candra found the President’s insights on Indonesia’s abundant natural resources to be quite impressive, emphasizing their unique qualities and untapped potential. President Prabowo particularly highlighted resources like nickel, bauxite, and minerals as key factors in empowering the Indonesian people under his leadership.
During the extensive five-hour discussion, Candra was especially intrigued by Prabowo’s focus on implementing cost-saving measures across ministries and institutions. These measures aim to reduce wastage in the state budget and streamline operations, ultimately leading to substantial savings that can be redirected towards infrastructure development and national progress. Candra expressed his optimism regarding the positive outcomes that these initiatives could bring under the Prabowo administration, foreseeing a more prosperous and hopeful future for Indonesia.
Candra’s overall experience at the panel discussion left him feeling hopeful about Indonesia’s future under Prabowo’s leadership. He emphasized the importance of efficient resource management and financial accountability in driving the country towards sustainable growth and development. This shared vision for a brighter future resonated with Candra, reflecting a collective optimism for Indonesia’s continued progress and success.
