Candra Irawan, the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni of Bengkulu University, recently attended a Panel Discussion at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta with Indonesian President Prabowo and other Rectors and Leaders of State and Private Universities. The discussion focused on Indonesia’s natural resources, with Prabowo highlighting the country’s unique and abundant resources like nickel, bauxite, and minerals that have yet to be fully utilized. Candra was impressed by the President’s insights and vision for empowering the Indonesian people through resource optimization.
One key point that caught Candra’s attention was Prabowo’s emphasis on implementing budget-saving measures across ministries and institutions to cut down on leaks in the state budget. These measures are aimed at increasing savings and redirecting resources towards infrastructure development and progress. Candra expressed optimism about the potential impact of these initiatives under Prabowo’s leadership, believing that they will contribute to a more prosperous and optimistic future for Indonesia.
Candra’s experience at the panel discussion left him hopeful for Indonesia’s future growth and development under Prabowo’s administration. He stressed the importance of efficient resource management and fiscal responsibility in driving the country towards success. The insights shared during the discussion have inspired Candra and other participants to work towards a brighter future for Indonesia.
