Before Thousands of MBG Partners, Prabowo: If You Do Not Want to Work Well, Please Step Aside!

Bogor, VIVA – President Prabowo Subianto has emphasised that the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme is a significant mandate that must be carried out with full responsibility. This was stated by President Prabowo while attending the National Consolidation of the MBG Programme, initiated by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) at SICC, Bogor, West Java, on Wednesday, 3 June 2026.

Prabowo emphasised that the entire implementation of the MBG programme plays a crucial role in ensuring that the benefits can be optimally felt by the community. “Providing food is a noble task for us and it must succeed, it will succeed, and you are an important part of it. But, if you do not want to work well, you must step aside; if you do not want to work well, if you do not want to, please step aside. The important thing is that the interests of the people are above all other interests,” Prabowo asserted.

The President also expressed his appreciation to all officers and MBG partners who have dedicated themselves to running the programme, including those serving in remote areas with difficult geographical challenges. “Thank you, brothers and sisters, for being here. Thank you once again for your service in far-off, difficult places. Thank you for your dedication and your loyalty,” said Prabowo.

For Prabowo, the success of the MBG programme is determined not only by good policy but also by the dedication and integrity of those implementing it on the ground. Therefore, he urged all ranks to continue working with a spirit of service, maintaining the quality of service, and placing the interests of the people as the top priority.

This national consolidation was attended by approximately 12,173 participants and 5,873 partners involved in the implementation of the MBG programme across various regions in Indonesia. The event also served as a platform to strengthen coordination between the National Nutrition Agency, partners, and all programme implementers to expand service reach and ensure the programme runs effectively in supporting the creation of a healthy, strong, and superior Indonesian generation.
