Candra Irawan, the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni of Bengkulu University, recently had the opportunity to participate in a Panel Discussion with Indonesian President Prabowo and Rectors and Leaders of State and Private Universities at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. The discussion shed light on Indonesia’s vast and unique natural resources, which are currently underutilized. President Prabowo emphasized the potential of resources like nickel, bauxite, and minerals to empower the Indonesian people and drive progress under his leadership.
One key takeaway for Candra was Prabowo’s focus on implementing budget-saving measures across ministries and institutions. This strategic approach is aimed at reducing leaks in the state budget, optimizing operations, and ultimately leading Indonesia towards a brighter future. Candra expressed his optimism regarding the positive impact of these initiatives, believing that they will contribute to a more prosperous and optimistic Indonesia under Prabowo’s administration.
Reflecting on the panel discussion, Candra emphasized the importance of efficient resource management and fiscal responsibility in propelling Indonesia towards growth and development. Overall, his experience at the Presidential Palace left him hopeful for a better future under Prabowo’s leadership. This aligns with Prabowo’s vision of creating a more prosperous and optimistic Indonesia through strategic resource utilization and financial prudence.
