        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto highlighted his commitment to democracy by stating he never caused disruption after losing four presidential elections, waiting until he finally won the people's mandate. Speaking at a national seminar in Jakarta, he urged academics and the public to prioritize national stability over post-election chaos. Prabowo called on intellectuals to dedicate their expertise to serving the poor and weak, rather than engaging in unproductive conflict.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto revealed his belief in democracy and\ngeneral elections, stating that despite losing four times in\npresidential elections, he never disrupted the leader who received the\nmandate. Speaking before 2,600 academics from various regions of\nIndonesia, President Prabowo invited them to reflect on the meaning of\nstatehood. \u201cI always try to persuade. As a political leader, I was\nelected democratically. I went to the people five times to ask for a\nmandate, four times I was not given the mandate. Four times I lost, but\nI did not disturb the leader who got the mandate,\u201d said President\nPrabowo during his speech at the opening of the National Symposium at\nthe Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Jakarta, Friday. The thousands of\nparticipants who packed Hall B JCC immediately greeted President\nPrabowo\u2019s statement with thunderous applause. \u201cSo, the embodiment of\npeople\u2019s sovereignty is democracy. The embodiment of democracy is\nelections. We understand. We may be dissatisfied, but what is the\nalternative? Do we want chaos? Chaos after every election. The losers\nmake noise, the losers make noise. When will we move towards prosperity\nfor our people?\u201d he said. Therefore, the President then invited all\ncommunity groups to reflect on the purpose of the state, which includes\nthe obligation of the nation\u2019s children to dedicate themselves to the\npeople. \u201cIsn\u2019t that our duty as children of the nation, as leaders, as\nthe smartest people in this country? Isn\u2019t it? All our intelligence must\nbe dedicated to our poorest and weakest people. Isn\u2019t that right?\u201d said\nPresident Prabowo. \u201cPlease, if anyone has a different opinion, that is\ntheir right. I say we are different. If there are those who think that\nchaos, noise, burning things, anarchy, hatred, hostility, and insults\nare productive, while other countries are moving towards prosperity,\nmaking breakthroughs, heading towards wealth,\u201d he continued. The\nPresident\u2019s opening speech lasted approximately 40 minutes, after which\nthe briefing session and the opening ceremony of the National Symposium\ncontinued behind closed doors to the media. The President explained that\nhe wanted to speak \u201cheart to heart\u201d with the professors and other\nacademics. \u201cI want to give what I have. I want to give data, facts, what\nI have, and you as scientists, please study, research it. If you\nconsider these data and facts scientifically valid and relevant, please\ndraw your own conclusions,\u201d said Prabowo.<\/p>",
