        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 President Prabowo Subianto affirmed that he has risked his\nlife many times for the Indonesian nation. He made this statement during\nthe International Labour Day or May Day 2026 commemoration at the\nNational Monument (Monas) on Friday, 1 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo began by expressing his thanks to the workers who have\nconsistently supported his government, from farmers to fishermen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI express my gratitude for the invitation to be here today with all\nof you. This is an honour for me. I feel that the working class has\nalways supported me time and again, and I became president because of\nthe support from workers, farmers, fishermen, and all workers across\nIndonesia,\u201d said Prabowo.<\/p>\n<p>However, Prabowo expressed bewilderment at how many educated people\nsteal the nation\u2019s wealth. He resolved to defend the Indonesian people\nsince his days serving in the Indonesian National Armed Forces\n(TNI).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m astonished; the more educated they are, the more thieves there\nare. I can\u2019t fathom it, I really can\u2019t. I felt called from a young age\nwhen I joined the military to protect this country, to defend this\ncountry, to defend my people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The head of state emphasised that he has risked his life many times\nto build a better Indonesia and to prosper its people. Yet, he admitted\nsadness over the many elites who steal public funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I was shocked when I retired; I saw that my people were still\nsuffering. I have risked my life many times for this nation, but I see\nmany elites stealing the people\u2019s money. This is not what I fought for;\nthis is not a country robbed by thieves. I cannot accept it,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>\n<p>The head of state also expressed unwillingness to see children and\nmothers in Indonesia going hungry, unable to provide milk.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Prabowo was unwilling to see his ministers, entrusted by\nthe public, colluding with dishonest and greedy businessmen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot accept it; government officials entrusted by the people\ninstead collaborate with despicable businessmen, with greedy\nbusinessmen,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
