Prabowo: Indonesians Dream of Decent Living, Not Riches

President Prabowo Subianto articulated a vision for Indonesia that prioritizes a dignified existence over extravagant wealth for its citizens. Speaking at the DPR RI plenary session, he conveyed that the aspirations of the Indonesian people are centered on fundamental needs: consistent access to nutritious food, the ability to afford healthcare for themselves and their families, secure housing, and stable employment with adequate income. This focus on 'living decently' underscores a commitment to basic human welfare as the primary goal of national development.

“

Our people do not dream of experiencing a rich life. But, they dream of being able to live decently, to live well.

President Prabowo highlighted the critical role of adhering to Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, which he believes is the bedrock for ensuring national prosperity, justice, and the equitable distribution of wealth. He pointed to the vast natural resources of Indonesia, suggesting that proper management, as mandated by the constitution, could unlock a brighter future for all Indonesians. This perspective frames economic policy not just as growth, but as a means to fulfill the populace's essential dreams.

They dream of being able to eat well every day, to be able to give milk to their children, to be able to find medicine if their child is sick or their father is sick.

A significant point of emphasis was the welfare of teachers, whom Prabowo identified as crucial for shaping the nation's future through quality education. He lamented the historical 'leakage' of national wealth, estimated by the UN to be billions of dollars over two decades, as a primary reason for the inadequate compensation of teachers, civil servants, and law enforcement. This call for better teacher welfare is presented as a matter of national priority, directly linked to the effective management of the country's resources and the realization of the people's fundamental aspirations.

They dream of having a decent home. They dream of seeing their children go to school healthy. They dream that their parents can get a good job. With sufficient income.
