Candra Irawan, the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni of Bengkulu University, recently attended a Panel Discussion at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, where Indonesian President Prabowo engaged with Rectors and Leaders of State and Private Universities. Candra was impressed by the President’s insights on Indonesia’s abundant natural resources that have yet to be fully utilized. Prabowo emphasized the potential of resources like nickel, bauxite, and minerals to empower the Indonesian people and drive progress under his leadership.
One key aspect that caught Candra’s attention was Prabowo’s focus on implementing budget-saving measures across ministries and institutions. These measures aim to eliminate inefficiencies in the state budget, leading to significant savings that can then be redirected towards infrastructure development and overall progress in Indonesia. Candra expressed optimism about the impact of these initiatives, believing they will contribute to a more prosperous and optimistic future for the country.
Reflecting on his experience at the panel discussion, Candra remains hopeful for Indonesia’s future under Prabowo’s leadership. He stressed the importance of efficient resource management and fiscal responsibility in driving the country towards growth and development. This forum provided valuable insights into the President’s vision for Indonesia’s potential and the strategies in place to realize that vision.
