        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has admitted to feeling profound sadness\nupon realising the extent to which Indonesia\u2019s natural resource wealth\nhas been exploited by other nations. He acknowledged that in the first\nweeks after his inauguration, he became aware of the country\u2019s immense\nriches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realised how wealthy the Indonesian nation is, but I was also\nsaddened, I felt like I was punched in the gut seeing how much of\nIndonesia\u2019s wealth has been stolen. How much of our wealth has been\ntaken abroad,\u201d he stated at the peak commemoration of the 79th National\nCooperative Day in Jakarta on Sunday (12\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He therefore affirmed his determination to be a leader who works hard\nwith big ideas and concepts. According to him, big ideas are necessary\nfor a great nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a great nation. Our difficulties, obstacles, and challenges\nare great. We have only just realised that so many countries are envious\nof us, our nation is a nation that is too kind-hearted,\u201d Prabowo\nconcluded.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion, he also recounted that many countries are envious of\nIndonesia. According to Prabowo, Indonesia has a character that is too\nkind and naive.<\/p>\n<p>He even said this nation welcomes \u2018guests\u2019 so well that it wants to\ndo its best for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if we don\u2019t have coffee, don\u2019t have sugar, we still invite them\nin. If necessary, we borrow sugar and coffee from the neighbours,\u201d he\nexplained on Sunday (12\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this respect is not reciprocated equally by the\n\u2018guests\u2019. In fact, he said many of these guests came uninvited and\nrobbed Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes there are guests who have no shame. They weren\u2019t even\ninvited, they came here saying they wanted to trade. Eventually, they\ncommit robbery,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>\n<p>This is what drives him to lead Indonesia towards the welfare of its\npeople.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd because of that, I am determined to lead this government,\nassisted by my cabinet. I am determined to work hard, to work with big,\ngrand ideas, not small ones,\u201d Prabowo asserted.<\/p>",
