Jakarta Regional House of Representatives member Ali Lubis has\ncommented on the various demonstrations held during the administration\nof President Prabowo Subianto and Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.\nHe said a number of programmes were important in assessing the\ngovernment\u2019s direction and dynamics.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter two years, the Prabowo-Gibran administration has been\nprotested against and disrupted, and it turns out there are reasons for\nthat. Of course, all of this has a purpose and a target; the protests\nand disruptions are not arbitrary,\u201d Ali Lubis said in a statement on\nThursday (29 October 2026).<\/p>\n
Ali then outlined several reasons for the demonstrations during\nPrabowo\u2019s administration. He said Prabowo was the first president to\nprovide meals to more than 57 million Indonesians every day through the\nFree Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrabowo is the first Indonesian president to have saved more than\nRp52 trillion in state funds and returned 6.2 million hectares of forest\nland to the state after it was seized from perpetrators of forest and\nland crimes,\u201d he said, referring to the Forest Area Enforcement Task\nForce (Satgas PKH).<\/p>\n
\u201cPrabowo is the first Indonesian president to have provided free\nschooling at good-standard schools (Sekolah Rakyat) for 44,000 pupils\nfrom underprivileged and poor families,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He also said Prabowo was the first president to achieve food\nself-sufficiency, with national rice stocks reaching 4.2 million tonnes\nover the past two years. According to Ali, Prabowo had also written off\nbad debts owed by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, farmers and\nfishers, with a target value of around Rp14 trillion.<\/p>\n
Ali said fishing villages were also being built under Prabowo\u2019s\nadministration. He said 100 had been built since 2025, with a target of\n5,000 by 2029.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrabowo is the first Indonesian president to provide free health\nchecks to the public, reaching around 106 million people so far,\u201d he\nsaid, referring to the Free Health Check programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrabowo is the first Indonesian president under whom the national\nfootball team made history by winning the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup [at the\nGelora Bung Karno Stadium on 5 October 2026],\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Ali said Prabowo was also the first president to have the courage to\nclose 290 state-owned enterprises, saving Rp50 trillion a year. He added\nthat 16,167 schools had been revitalised.<\/p>\n
He said Prabowo had also taken on illegal networks in the mining, oil\nand gas, forestry and palm oil sectors. Prabowo had also set\nride-hailing drivers\u2019 commission deductions at 8 per cent, Ali said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrabowo is the first Indonesian president to raise salaries for\nstate-employed teachers by one basic salary, and to provide\nnon-state-employed teachers with an allowance of Rp2 million,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrabowo is the first Indonesian president with the courage to apply\nArticle 33 of the 1945 Constitution as the foundation of the national\neconomy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Ali said another reason was that Prabowo was the first president to\nbuild homes for the public, with a target of three million. He also said\nPrabowo had the courage to launch the Strategic Commodities and Minerals\nExchange on 1 January 2027.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are many other reasons. Given this work, it is entirely\nunderstandable that the Prabowo-Gibran administration has been protested\nagainst and disrupted over the past two years. We stand with Prabowo,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-assembly-member-lists-prabowo-governments-achievements-amid-protests-1793256785", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
