Under the tent, a number of gathered residents welcomed Prabowo’s arrival. They enthusiastically shouted his name. The national song ‘Maju Tak Gentar’, performed by students of SMK Negeri 2 Talaud, also greeted Prabowo’s arrival. After stepping down from the car, Prabowo immediately approached the students. After the song ‘Maju Tak Gentar’, several children at the location simultaneously sang the song ‘Pulau Miangas’. Prabowo approached the children at the location and joined in clapping to the rhythm of the singing. Prabowo then requested the children to sing the songs ‘Di Sini Senang, Di Sana Senang’, ‘Hymne Guru’, and ‘Kasih Ibu’. Prabowo appeared to enjoy the songs as they were performed by the children and residents at the location. During this visit, Prabowo was accompanied by Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, Foreign Minister Sugiono, Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid, Minister of Public Works Dody Hanggodo, Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin, and Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin. Miangas Village is Indonesia’s outermost region located in the Special Miangas Subdistrict, Kepulauan Talaud Regency. The village has a population of 823 people spread across 232 families. Miangas has a unique status because a single subdistrict contains only one village, thus the area is called the Special Miangas Subdistrict. With an area of around 3.5 square kilometres, Miangas is one of Indonesia’s small outer islands with a strategic position at the national border. Prabowo’s visit to Miangas serves as a tangible symbol of the state’s presence up to Indonesia’s outermost points.
