Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto expressed his respect for the people who always work hard to earn a halal living.
This was stated by Prabowo in front of hundreds of graduates of the Indonesian National University (UKRI) at Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
“Brothers may be proud to be scholars. But I, in my heart, I actually have great respect for street vendors; online motorcycle taxi drivers, meatball sellers; farmers, farm laborers; daily workers; port laborers; and fishermen who risk their lives to feed their wives and children,” said Prabowo.
“The street vendors, every day they go out, they sweat, looking for food for their children and wives. That’s who we respect. They are noble. They are honest. They earn halal income,” he continued.
Prabowo said that the knowledge of scholars must be beneficial to the common people. He also reminded academics from all levels of education to prioritize the interests of the people.
“I remind you of this. Hey scholars, hey professors, hey technocrats. Your knowledge must be for your nation and your people. Your knowledge is for the nation and the 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 this to the young people, be leaders who love the people,” said Prabowo.
UKRI is a campus built from the noble aspirations of the Soemitro Djojohadikusumo family who want Indonesia to be a better nation. Up to now, UKRI has six faculties covering various fields of knowledge. (SENOPATI)
