Bandung – Chairman of the National Education Foundation of the Republic of Indonesia, 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 Republic of Indonesia National University (UKRI) at the Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
“You may be proud to be a scholar. But I, in my heart, truly respect the street vendors; online motorcycle taxi drivers, meatball sellers; farmers, farm laborers; daily laborers; port workers; and fishermen who risk their lives to provide for their wives and children,” said Prabowo.
“The street vendor, every day they go out, push themselves and 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 all. Hey scholars, hey professors, hey technocrats. Your knowledge must be for your nation and your people. Your knowledge is for your nation and your country,” he said.
Prabowo then advised the scholars to always seek knowledge so they can become leaders who love their country and people.
“I ask these young people, be leaders who love the people,” said Prabowo.
UKRI is a campus built on the noble ideals of the large Soemitro Djojohadikusumo family who want Indonesia to become a better nation. Until now, UKRI has six faculties covering various fields of study. (SENOPATI)
