Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian Republic National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto expressed his respect for the people who always work hard to earn halal sustenance.
Prabowo revealed this in front of hundreds of graduates of the Indonesian Republic University (UKRI) at Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
“You may be proud to be a graduate. But for me, in my heart, I really respect street vendors; online motorcycle taxi drivers, meatball vendors; farmers, farm workers; daily laborers; port workers; fishermen who risk their lives to provide for their wives and children,” said Prabowo.
“The street vendors, every day they go out, they sweat, looking for food for their children and wives. That’s who we respect. They are noble. They are honest. They earn halal sustenance,” he continued.
Prabowo said the knowledge of scholars must be beneficial for the common people. He also reminded academics from all levels of education to prioritize the interests of the people.
“I remind you of this. Hey scholars, hey professors, hey technocrats. Your knowledge must be for your nation and people. Your knowledge is for the nation and the country,” he said.
Prabowo then advised the scholars to always seek knowledge so that they can become leaders who love their country and people.
“I entrust this to the young generation, be leaders who love the people,” said Prabowo.
UKRI is a campus built from the noble aspirations of the Soemitro Djojohadikusumo family who want Indonesia to become a better nation. Until now, UKRI has six faculties covering various fields of study. (SENOPATI)
