Jakarta (ANTARA) - The General Chairman of the Barisan Pembaharuan 08\n(BP-08) Volunteers, Syafrudin Budiman, has requested that the government\nnot become complacent following the results of the Indonesia Network\nElection Survey (INES), which recorded a public satisfaction level of\n79.3 per cent regarding President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
In a statement in Jakarta on Monday, Syafrudin stated that this\nsatisfaction figure should serve as a drive for the government to\nstrengthen performance and deliver tangible benefits to the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost importantly, the government must not quickly become complacent.\nPublic satisfaction figures must serve as motivation to work harder.\nThere are still many issues to be resolved, ranging from economic\nequality, employment, education, and health, to the eradication of\ncorruption and the improvement of public welfare,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
INES previously reported that the public satisfaction level towards\nPresident Prabowo Subianto\u2019s leadership, approaching two years of\nadministration, reached 79.3 per cent.<\/p>\n
According to Syafrudin, the survey results should be read objectively\nand should not solely serve as a measure of government success.<\/p>\n
He noted that economic growth is one of the aspects that must be\ncontinuously maintained amidst global economic and geopolitical\nuncertainty.<\/p>\n
Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded that the Indonesian economy grew\nby 5.29 per cent annually in the second quarter of 2026. Cumulatively,\nthe Indonesian economy in the first semester of 2026 grew by 5.45 per\ncent compared to the same period in the previous year.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur economic growth remains positive. This is important because the\nPrabowo administration is operating within a global situation full of\nuncertainty, ranging from trade wars and geopolitical volatility to\nchanges in global supply chains,\u201d said Syafrudin.<\/p>\n
According to him, this economic growth needs to be translated into\nequitable welfare, job creation, the strengthening of MSMEs, and the\nincrease of public purchasing power.<\/p>\n
He assessed that the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme is not only\nrelated to nutritional fulfillment but can also provide an economic\nimpact if it can increase demand for products from farmers, livestock\nbreeders, fishermen, MSMEs, and local business actors.<\/p>\n
\u201cMBG and the Merah Putih Village Cooperatives are an interesting\npolicy combination because they unite a social agenda with the economic\nempowerment of the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In the field of infrastructure, Syafrudin highlighted the\nconstruction and improvement of 1,151 kilometres of regional roads\nacross 37 provinces through the 2025 Regional Road Presidential\nInstruction (IJD) programme.<\/p>\n
He also highlighted the formation of Danantara Sumber Daya Indonesia\n(DSI) as part of the effort to strengthen the governance of natural\nresource commodity trade.<\/p>\n
He also called for the consistent eradication of corruption and the\nprevention of state wealth leakage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe principle is simple: state funds must return as much as possible\nfor the benefit of the people. Corruption eradication must be carried\nout consistently and must not be selective,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Syafrudin stated that BP-08 will continue to monitor government\nprogrammes deemed to be oriented towards the interests of the community\nand national development.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe success of a government is not measured solely by popularity,\nbut by how much state policies are able to deliver real benefits to the\npeople,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/public-satisfaction-at-79-3-per-cent-08-volunteers-do-not-become-complacent-1790597031", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
