Prabowo: Those who find Indonesia bleak should seek another country

President Prabowo Subianto has invited individuals who perceive Indonesia's future as bleak to seek residence elsewhere. Speaking at the peak commemoration of the 79th National Cooperative Day in Jakarta, Prabowo conveyed his strong belief in Indonesia's abundant national wealth and its imminent resurgence.

“

Those who feel Indonesia is bleak, please, if you want to find another country. Please, no one is forbidding it.

"Those who are hesitant, just sit at home. Those who feel Indonesia is bleak, please, if you want to find another country. Please, no one is forbidding it," Prabowo declared on Sunday, July 12, 2026. He urged the populace to unite and work together to prepare for Indonesia's revival.

Prabowo emphasized the importance of mutual support, stating that the strong should assist the weak, and the weak should cooperate effectively. The former Minister of Defense also implored all elements of the Indonesian nation to abandon the culture of mutual insults, hatred, and distrust.

“

Let us return to the nature of the Indonesian people, which is to forgive each other, understand each other, love each other, help each other, do not follow the culture of insults, envy, and suspicion.

"Let us return to the nature of the Indonesian people, which is to forgive each other, understand each other, love each other, help each other, do not follow the culture of insults, envy, and suspicion," Prabowo urged. He reiterated that a nation cannot achieve success if it remains entangled in conflict, and that differences in ethnic background or political choices should never serve as a basis for animosity. "Why should we fight? We are one family, whatever our background, whatever our ethnicity, whatever our party. All parties have many patriots and all parties also have many scoundrels," he added.
