It can be through\ngeneral elections, no problem,\u201d Prabowo said in his briefing on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur history has seen several changes: Bung Karno stepped down\npeacefully, Pak Harto stepped down peacefully, Gus Dur stepped down\npeacefully, through processes, not through violence. So, brothers and\nsisters, trust the system built by our nation\u2019s founders,\u201d Prabowo\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of State mentioned that he often receives criticism from\nvarious parties. However, Prabowo regards such criticism as a form of\nwarning from others about his government\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an issue for us; we must be vigilant and accept those\ncorrections. If we are slandered or vilified, regard it as a warning so\nthat we stay alert,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt cannot be denied that we have achieved tangible milestones,\ntangible achievements,\u201d Prabowo added.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having achieved several accomplishments, Prabowo acknowledged\nthat the country faces uncertainties due to conflicts in other parts of\nthe world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlhamdulillah, our government, in which you, brothers and sisters,\nare part of the government I lead, has been in place for one and a half\nyears; alhamdulillah, we have been able to control the direction of\ndevelopment, the direction of our nation\u2019s state,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>",
