Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian Republic National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto, expressed his respect for the people who always work hard to earn halal sustenance.
Prabowo expressed this in front of hundreds of graduates of the Republic Indonesia University (UKRI) at the Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
“You may be proud to be a graduate. But I, in my heart, actually have a lot of respect for street vendors; online motorcycle taxi drivers, meatball sellers; farmers, farm workers; daily laborers; workers at ports; fishermen who risk their lives to provide for their wives and children,” said Prabowo.
“The street vendor, every day he goes out, he pushes himself, looking for food for his children and wife. That is what we respect. They are noble. They are honest. They seek sustenance in a halal way,” he continued.
Prabowo said that the knowledge of scholars must be beneficial for the common people. He also reminded academics from 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 people. Your knowledge is for the nation and country,” he said.
Prabowo then advised the scholars to always seek knowledge so that they can become leaders who love their country and people.
“I entrust the young generation with this, be a leader who loves the people,” said Prabowo.
UKRI is a campus built from the noble aspirations of the Soemitro Djojohadikusumo family who want Indonesia to become a better nation. Until now, UKRI has six faculties covering various fields of study. (SENOPATI)
