President Prabowo Subianto has affirmed that the entire state\napparatus must serve the public to the best of its ability. Indeed,\nIndonesia\u2019s number one stated that the people do not need byzantine\nbureaucracy or leaders who fail to work properly.<\/p>\n
The President delivered these remarks whilst inaugurating IPDN cadets\nat the IPDN campus in Jatinangor, Sumedang, on Wednesday (29 July). In\nhis address, Prabowo said the graduating cadets being inaugurated had\nchosen a life path of service to the people, the nation, and the Unitary\nState of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).<\/p>\n
The President understood that the path they had chosen was neither\neasy nor light. Nevertheless, Prabowo affirmed that from the outset,\ncivil servants are required to work to help the people facing\nhardship.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur people do not need convoluted bureaucracy. Our people do not\nneed leaders who do not work to the best of their ability,\u201d said\nPrabowo.<\/p>\n
He went on to explain that the honour of the state apparatus is\nmeasured not by one\u2019s position, but by how much benefit the people feel.\nAs servants, protectors, and guardians of society, he said, officials\nare expected to work honestly, with discipline, free of corruption, and\nalways present when the people need them.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs well as placing the interests of the people above personal or\ngroup interests,\u201d he said, whilst advising that wherever they serve, the\ngraduating cadets must remember that they are the face and symbol of the\nstate. For that reason, before the cadets, Prabowo asked that these\nofficials work as well as possible so that the people grow ever more\ntrusting and loving towards the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause disappointing the people will destroy trust in the state\nitself,\u201d he said. The President further elaborated that Indonesia is a\ngreat nation with the fourth-largest population in the world and a land\narea equivalent to 27 European countries.<\/p>\n
This abundant natural wealth has, for hundreds of years, made\nIndonesia a target of foreign nations that applied divide-and-rule\npolitics along lines of ethnicity, religion, race, and group in order to\nseize power. To become a strong, successful, advanced, and independent\nnation that stands on its own feet without being dictated to by other\nnations, he said, Indonesia requires a domestic government that is\nexcellent, disciplined, free of corruption, patriotic, and prioritises\nthe people\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a clean and principled government, history teaches that the\nstate will succeed, the nation will prosper, and the people will be\nprosperous,\u201d he said.
