Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto, expressed his respect for the people who always work hard to earn halal sustenance.
This was stated by Prabowo in front of hundreds of male and female graduates of the Indonesian National University (UKRI) at the Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
“You may be proud to be a graduate. But for me, deep down in my heart, I have great respect for street vendors; online motorcycle taxi drivers; meatball sellers; farmers, farm laborers; daily workers; port workers; fishermen who risk their lives to feed their wives and children,” said Prabowo.
“The street vendors, every day they go out, pushing through sweat, looking for food for their children and wives. That’s what we respect. They are noble. They are honest. They earn a halal living,” he continued.
Prabowo said that the knowledge of scholars must be beneficial for the common people. He also reminded academics at all levels of education to prioritize the interests of the people.
“I remind you. Hey scholars, hey professors, hey technocrats. Your knowledge must be for your nation and your people. Your knowledge is for your nation and your country,” he said.
Prabowo then advised the scholars to always seek knowledge so that they can become leaders who love their country and people.
“I entrust this to the young generation, be leaders who love the people,” said Prabowo.
UKRI is a campus built from the noble ideals of the Soemitro Djojohadikusumo family who want Indonesia to become a better nation. Up to now, UKRI has six faculties covering various fields of knowledge. (SENOPATI)
