President Prabowo Subianto has cautioned high-ranking military and\npolice officers against becoming \u2018salon generals\u2019 who are reluctant to\nget their hands dirty. He stressed that the trousers and boots of\nIndonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and National Police (Polri)\nleaders should be soiled, even if they hold the rank of general.\n\u2018Generals, don\u2019t become salon generals who only want to stay clean. Once\nin a while, a general\u2019s boots must be dirty, their trousers must be\ndirty up to the knees,\u2019 Prabowo said during a speech in Batang, Central\nJava, on Thursday. National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo\nand TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto were present at the event.\nHowever, Prabowo also joked that they should not deliberately dirty\ntheir boots just to meet the president. \u2018But don\u2019t dirty your boots on\npurpose just to see the president. That\u2019s an old trick,\u2019 he quipped.<\/p>\n

The programme is part of the government\u2019s effort\nto expand access to decent housing for low-income communities while\nstrengthening national housing sector financing. \u2018We are working hard\nwith various programmes and constantly thinking of the best ways to\nmultiply the number of houses the people can enjoy,\u2019 Prabowo said.
