Prabowo Subianto, who was elected as the President of Indonesia for the period 2024-2029, accompanied by Vice President-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka, attended the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha on Wednesday, April 15, 2024.
During the event, Prabowo, who was one of the speakers, was asked about his upcoming leadership style.
Prabowo stressed that he would remain true to himself in bringing prosperity to the people of Indonesia.
“I will remain true to myself, sincerely. That means being true to principles, values, aspirations as a patriot. My core value is the well-being of my people. My people must be safe, not hungry, and must have a good life. That is the dream of every patriot in every country in the world,” said Prabowo.
Furthermore, Prabowo emphasized that his military service in the past would not affect his policies, including in terms of democracy in his leadership.
“You know, I have been out of the military for more than 25 years. So, what you call militaristic, I think it is irrelevant, it has no connection to anything,” Prabowo said firmly.
“Regarding democracy, why not ask the people of Indonesia? I have participated in election contests four times and sought the approval of the people of Indonesia three times. They did not give their approval. This time they did. Where is the concern about democracy? In my view, it is made up by some people. So, I will work hard not to disappoint my people. The legacy we want to leave is a good name, a good name in the history of our country,” added Prabowo, followed by applause from the audience.
He expressed his desire to serve based on a sincere desire to improve the welfare of the people of Indonesia. He wants to contribute with his insights and leadership experience.
“I was raised in many countries and I saw many of them are very poor. In my heart, I cannot accept that in this day and age. Indonesia is a member of the G20. Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world. Many of my people still live very difficult lives. And that’s what drives me. I want to do my part. I want to contribute with my insights and leadership experience. I believe I can contribute a lot to improve the lives of my people,” concluded Prabowo.
