The president also cautioned leaders against lying, calling it a disaster for the people.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has stated that information circulating on\nsocial media cannot be immediately trusted, noting a modern tendency for\npeople to readily believe what they see on these platforms. He warned\nthat social media can be manipulated by individuals with significant\nfinancial resources. \u201cThere is a disease, not just in our country but in\nthe world, social media. It can be exploited. People with money can play\ngames on social media,\u201d he said during the inauguration of five dams in\nWest Nusa Tenggara on Friday, 10 July 2026. Therefore, Prabowo urged the\npublic not to be easily fooled by what is spread on social media.\n\u201cStories on social media are not necessarily the true story. The people\nmust not be deceived,\u201d he said. The Gerindra Party chairman said it is\nbetter for the public to trust the legitimate government. \u201cTrust the\nleader you have chosen,\u201d Prabowo stated. On the other hand, Prabowo also\nurged leaders not to lie to their people. He said a leader who\nfrequently lies is a disaster for the people. During the event in West\nLombok on Friday, Prabowo inaugurated the Meninting Dam in West Lombok\nRegency, West Nusa Tenggara. Through this event, he also simultaneously\ninaugurated five dams in three other provinces. Prabowo said the\nconstruction of dams requires time, money, and resources. The process,\nhe said, can be completed only after several presidents have succeeded\none another. \u201cI am grateful that I am the one to inaugurate this dam,\u201d\nhe said. The five dams inaugurated by Prabowo are the Meninting Dam in\nNTB, the Keureuto Dam and Rukoh Dam in Aceh, the Jlantah Dam in Central\nJava Province, and the Sidan Dam in Bali. The projects were built\nbetween 2015 and 2025. The Gerindra Party chairman revealed that the\nconstruction of the five dams cost Rp 9.79 trillion. \u201cThe five dams we\ninaugurate today are a state investment,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>",
