Prabowo: Many of My Ministers Have Been Hospitalised Due to Hard Work
President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, stated that many of his ministers have been hospitalised due to their hard work in the Red and White Cabinet government.
Prabowo revealed this during the inauguration of the Marsinah Museum and Rest House in Nganjuk, East Java, on Saturday morning (16/5). The moment occurred when Prabowo was calling out the names of the ministers and officials present at the event.
When calling the name of the Head of the State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Regulatory Agency, who also serves as the COO of Danantara, Dony Oskaria, Prabowo noticed that Dony was not present at the event. Prabowo then joked about Dony’s absence.
“Head of the SOE Regulatory Agency and COO of Danantara, Mr. Dony Oskaria. Oh, he’s not here? Make a note of it, he’ll have to face me later, and he won’t get a bonus. There are two kinds of ‘facing me’: when it’s for good performance, and when it’s for problems,” Prabowo joked.
Prabowo then believed that Dony was not present at the inauguration of the Marsinah Museum because he was busy with work that he could not leave. Prabowo believed this because he saw Dony as a hard worker.
“But no, he must be busy managing things, he’s a hard worker, so hard that he ended up in the hospital for several weeks,” Prabowo said.
After that, Prabowo revealed that many of his ministers had fallen ill due to their hard work in the government.
“These are my ministers, they ended up in the hospital because of their hard work,” Prabowo said.
Prabowo officially opened the Marsinah Museum in Nganjuk on Saturday (16/5). Before the inauguration of the Marsinah Museum, Prabowo was guided to tour and see every corner of the memorabilia and traces of Marsinah’s struggle, who was awarded as a National Hero.
“And, by saying ‘Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,’ on this morning, Saturday, May 16, 2026, I, Prabowo Subianto, President of the Republic of Indonesia, hereby inaugurate the Marsinah Museum and Rest House in Nganjuk Regency, East Java Province,” Prabowo said during the inauguration.
