During an event in Batang, Central Java, where he symbolically inaugurated a mass mortgage subsidy for 62,000 homes, Prabowo stated he was happy to meet people but felt for those who had to stand in the sun to greet him. "Just relax," he advised, stressing that the most important thing is that the government is working diligently for the prosperity of the Indonesian people.
