        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has stated his commitment to building a\nclean and professional government by accelerating bureaucratic reform\nand eradicating corruption and illicit levies. In his speech at the DPR\nplenary session in Jakarta on Wednesday (20\/5), Prabowo even reminded\nthat officials who cannot work quickly can be replaced. He noted that\nthe business community\u2019s complaints about extortion practices across\nvarious sectors remain a serious problem hindering the national economy.\nTherefore, he called on all ministries and agencies to undertake\ninternal reform without waiting for further instructions. \u201cWe must be\ndetermined to continue building a strong, professional government, a\ngovernment that is not corrupt,\u201d he said. He stressed that all state\ninstitutions must operate more effectively and free from abuses of\npower. The head of state also urged leaders of institutions not to\nhesitate to take action against officials found to violate rules. \u201cI\nremind all heads of bodies, ministers, and leaders of government\ninstitutions to immediately take the initiative to cleanse their\nbureaucracies. Do not hesitate; those who violate must be dealt with\nappropriately,\u201d he said. Prabowo views bureaucratic reform as the key to\nspeeding up economic growth while also increasing public trust in the\ngovernment. He stressed that corruption and administrative obstacles\nmust not be allowed to continue. \u201cAll government institutions must work\nwell. We must eliminate corruption, abuse of power, and practices that\nimpede our economy\u2019s progress,\u201d he asserted. In his speech, Prabowo also\ncriticised the bureaucratic culture of sluggish and overly relaxed work\npractices. He emphasised that the government must move quickly to\nrespond to the people\u2019s demands and economic challenges. \u201cThe nation and\nthe people demand work that is fast; we should not be a complacent\ngovernment, a lazy government, a government that is always late. We must\nbe a government driven by urgency, not delay,\u201d he said. Prabowo also\nreminded that status as a civil servant is not a guarantee of exemption\nfrom evaluation or removal from office. According to him, all civil\nservants must work for the people\u2019s interests and the nation\u2019s future.\n\u201cNo one is irreplaceable. The people demand a government that is right\nand good. Do not think that just because you are a civil servant you\ncannot be dismissed; if not, just stay at home,\u201d Prabowo stated. He also\nasked for DPR support to accelerate bureaucratic reform and the\nconsolidation of state institutions. In his view, these steps are\nimportant to safeguard the future for coming generations. (H-3)\nPresident Prabowo emphasised that he is not anti-criticism. As time\npasses, he has come to realise that criticism is for the common good. He\nurged citizens to use mobile phones to record and report officials who\nare found to be protecting or backing illegal practices. The DPR plenary\nsession agenda was the Macro Economy Framework and Policy Notes on\nFiscal Policy and the RAPBN 2027 as delivered directly by President\nPrabowo Subianto. President Prabowo Subianto attended the plenary\nsession at the Indonesian House of Representatives complex in Jakarta on\nWednesday (20\/5) to discuss the macro economy and fiscal framework. The\npresence of President Prabowo Subianto in person at the DPR plenary\nsession the next day was viewed as a significant political and economic\nsignal amid current economic pressures. According to him, market players\nwill pay attention to how strong the government can provide confidence\nin fiscal stability and state debt management. The Palace explained the\nreasons for President Prabowo Subianto delivering the RAPBN 2027 in the\nDPR to unite the nation.\u201d<\/p>",
