Police Chief Shares Iftar Meals with Journalists, Emphasising the Importance of Media Voice
The National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, held an event distributing Iftar meals and breaking fast together with journalists. This initiative aimed to strengthen the relationship between the police force and the media, recognising the media as a crucial voice for the public.
“This is part of our effort to maintain good relations, which is also a source of strength,” said Sigit at the Rupatama Building of the National Police Headquarters, South Jakarta, on Wednesday, 25th February 2026.
The event began with the distribution of Iftar meals to the public. The Police Chief, along with senior officials and journalists, distributed packages of food to people passing by in front of the National Police Headquarters.
The public, including drivers and online motorcycle taxi drivers, welcomed the distribution of Iftar meals. The Police Chief and journalists worked together to distribute the packages.
After distributing the Iftar meals, the Police Chief, senior officials, and journalists continued with a joint Iftar meal. The event was warm and filled with camaraderie.
According to Sigit, the media is a very strategic partner for the National Police. He believes that the voice of the media is the voice of the public.
“Therefore, we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to our journalist friends who continue to provide information,” said Sigit.
“And of course, this serves as a benchmark. When the media voices the concerns of the public, it means that we must immediately take action and respond quickly. Because we realise that the voice of the media is the voice of the public that must be heard,” Sigit added.
Sigit emphasised that the National Police has a responsibility to act on the issues raised by the media, as they represent the interests of the public.
“Our strength, the strength of our nation, lies in maintaining unity to face various challenges, both national and international,” said Sigit.
Furthermore, Sigit explained that the development of information technology today is developing very rapidly. The development of AI and deepfakes has created its own challenges for the Indonesian nation.
“One of these challenges is the issue of misinformation and disinformation, which is not only present on a global scale but has also entered our domestic situation and our daily lives. And of course, this is a challenge for all of us,” Sigit explained.
