President Prabowo Vows Zero Tolerance for Officials Harming the People

Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto has affirmed that he will not tolerate officials who are entrusted with office and paid by the people, yet implement policies that harm the public.

“We will not tolerate those who are trusted by the people, who are paid by the people, but carry out policies that harm the people,” Prabowo said in a speech as he led a simultaneous mass harvest with the TNI at 43 locations across Indonesia from Abdulrachman Saleh Air Force Base in Malang, East Java, on Friday.

The President said all elements of government must work in the interests of the people.

The Head of State emphasised that officials elected by the people, as well as those working in government, the bureaucracy and state-owned enterprises, must be united and cohesive in fighting for the welfare of society.

“Especially stealing the people’s money. We will not tolerate it. I will not tolerate it. I will not hesitate!” Prabowo asserted.

According to him, all components of the nation must work together to ensure that the nation’s wealth is managed and utilised to the greatest extent possible for the benefit of the people and future generations.

On that occasion, the President also invited all elements of the nation to continue strengthening unity and mutual cooperation in facing various national challenges.

“We do not want to make enemies of anyone. I say we want to be friends with all countries. But we are now aware that we must be cohesive, we must be united, all elements,” he said.

On the same occasion, Prabowo noted that the integrated mass harvest held simultaneously at 43 points demonstrates that food security is not merely the concern of the Ministry of Agriculture, but has become a national movement involving the entire strength of the nation.

The President congratulated the organisers of the mass harvest and expressed appreciation for the spirit of unity, collaboration and mutual cooperation from all components of the nation. “I greatly value the spirit of unity, collaboration and mutual cooperation from all components of the nation,” Prabowo said.
