Candra Irawan, the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni of Bengkulu University, recently took part in a Panel Discussion with Indonesian President Prabowo and other university leaders at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. The discussion focused on Indonesia’s rich but underutilized natural resources, with President Prabowo highlighting the potential of resources like nickel, bauxite, and minerals to benefit the Indonesian people.
One key point that stood out to Candra was President Prabowo’s emphasis on cost-saving measures within ministries and institutions to generate savings for the country’s future development. By plugging leaks in the state budget and optimizing operations, President Prabowo aims to allocate more resources towards infrastructure and progress. Candra expressed optimism about the positive impact these initiatives could have on Indonesia’s growth under Prabowo’s leadership.
Overall, Candra left the panel discussion feeling hopeful about Indonesia’s future under President Prabowo’s administration, stressing the importance of efficient resource management and financial responsibility to drive the country towards prosperity and development.
