Candra Irawan, Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni at Bengkulu University, recently participated in a Panel Discussion with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and other university leaders at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. Reflecting on the insights shared during the five-hour discussion, Candra was impressed by Prabowo’s focus on Indonesia’s abundant natural resources, such as nickel, bauxite, and minerals, and their potential to uplift the Indonesian people.
One key takeaway for Candra was Prabowo’s emphasis on cost-saving measures within government ministries and institutions to increase efficiency and generate savings for future investments. By addressing budget leaks and optimizing operations, Prabowo aims to reallocate resources towards infrastructure development and national progress. Candra expressed optimism about these initiatives, believing they will contribute to a more prosperous and hopeful future for Indonesia under Prabowo’s leadership.
The panel discussion left Candra hopeful about Indonesia’s trajectory, highlighting the importance of effective resource management and financial accountability in driving the country’s growth and development. This collaborative effort between government and education leaders sets a positive tone for Indonesia’s future under Prabowo’s administration.
