He highlighted the government's focus on food self-sufficiency and praised the collective effort behind food distribution programmes. The remarks were made during the annual state address marking Indonesia's 81st Independence Day.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has emphasised the importance of\ndeveloping digital technology to improve the effectiveness and\nefficiency of government programmes. He noted that 84.51 per cent of\nConstitutional Court applications up to 23 July 2026 were submitted\nonline, allowing citizens from Aceh to Papua to avoid unnecessary\nphysical travel. However, Prabowo stressed that technological\nsophistication is useless if not accompanied by public welfare, with one\nkey indicator being that no citizen should go hungry. \u201cWe can have the\nmost powerful military, we can have advanced aircraft, but if there is\nno food, I say this nation might as well stop,\u201d Prabowo said during the\nAnnual Session of the People\u2019s Consultative Assembly and the Joint\nSession of the House of Representatives and the Regional Representatives\nCouncil marking the 81st Anniversary of Indonesian Independence at the\nNusantara Building, Parliamentary Complex, Senayan, Central Jakarta, on\nFriday (14\/8\/2026). He underscored the importance of government policies\nprioritising food self-sufficiency and the Free Nutritious Meals\nprogramme for schools. Ensuring food distribution programmes reach the\npeople, he said, is the result of cooperation from various parties. \u201cThe\nhard work of farmers, agricultural extension workers, local governments,\nall elements of the TNI and Polri \u2014 thank you \u2014 cooperatives, and\nstate-owned enterprises, thank you for the cooperation and mutual\nassistance,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>",
