        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has issued a stern ultimatum to officials and intellectuals lacking patriotism, urging them to resign if they do not prioritise the interests of ordinary Indonesians. Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for 13 downstreaming projects in Cilacap, he emphasised that intelligence should serve the nation rather than enriching foreign entities or covering up corruption. He dismissed sceptics considering leaving the country, asserting Indonesia's status as the world's safest nation under his leadership.",
