Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto expressed his respect for the people who always work hard to earn a halal living.
This was revealed by Prabowo in front of hundreds of male and female graduates of the Indonesian National University (UKRI) at the Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
“You may be proud to be a graduate. But for me, deep down in my heart, I have great respect for street vendors; online motorcycle taxi drivers; meatball sellers; farmers, farm workers; daily laborers; port workers; fishermen who risk their lives to feed their wives and children,” said Prabowo.
“The street vendors, every day they go out, they push through the sweat, looking for food for their children and wives. That’s who we respect. They are noble. They are honest. They earn a halal living,” he continued.
Prabowo said that the knowledge of scholars must be beneficial to the common people. He also reminded academics at all levels of education to prioritize the interests of the people.
“I remind you. Hey scholars, hey professors, hey technocrats. Your knowledge must be for your nation and your people. Your knowledge is for the nation and the country,” he said.
Prabowo then advised the scholars to always seek knowledge so they can become leaders who love the country and the people.
“I entrust this to the young people, be leaders who love the people,” said Prabowo.
UKRI is a campus built from the high ideals of the Soemitro Djojohadikusumo extended family who want Indonesia to become a better nation. Until now, UKRI has six faculties covering various fields of study. (SENOPATI)
