President Prabowo: Appreciating Past Presidents and Learning from History
Bogor, West Java – President Prabowo Subianto recently honored the legacies of Indonesia’s past leaders, asserting their vital contributions to national development and prosperity. He particularly commended the contributions of Megawati Soekarnoputri, highlighting the value of acknowledging their positive impacts.
The Positive Impacts of Past Presidents
At the 17th anniversary celebration of the Gerindra Party at the Sentul International Convention Center, President Prabowo emphasized the foundational work done by former Indonesian presidents. He expressed his admiration for the diverse range of leadership styles their presidencies exhibited, contributing to the nation’s growth in various sectors.
“I admit that Mrs. Mega has many contributions and successes for this Republic. I do not like it when anyone tries to speak badly about Mrs. Mega to me because I understand what she has done for this Republic,” Prabowo said about Megawati Soekarnoputri.
Respecting Leadership: An Essential Virtue
President Prabowo advised his supporters to respect and recognize the positive aspects of leadership displayed by various Indonesian presidents. He highlighted the significance of appreciating the efforts made by past administrations to build and strengthen the foundation of the country.
“All leaders entrusted with the task of governing Indonesia have strived to do their best to ensure the nation’s prosperity,” Prabowo stressed.
A Collective Effort: The Role of Each President
President Prabowo drew a parallel between nation-building and the process of building a house. He explained that each president played a unique role in nation-building, much like different workers involved in building a home.
He said, “Soekarno built the fence, Soeharto built (the house), and so on, Mr. Habibie, Mr. Gus Dur continued (the building).”
Megawati Soekarnoputri, followed by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, led the country for ten years amid numerous crises, from natural disasters and conflicts to financial crises. President Prabowo praised their resilience and commitment during this challenging period.
The Legacy of President Joko Widodo
President Prabowo also acknowledged the positive legacy of Joko Widodo, the seventh president of Indonesia. He described Widodo’s efforts to create sustainable programs aimed at improving people’s livelihoods.
“They have done their best for the Indonesian people. Let us not forget these virtues. For the shortcomings, we must learn so that we can improve,” President Prabowo concluded.
Building on Legacy for the Future
The commemorative event held by the Gerindra Party underscores the importance of understanding and appreciating the diverse leadership styles of Indonesia’s past presidents. It serves as a reminder of the collective effort required to build a strong, prosperous nation.
As President Prabowo emphasizes, recognizing and valuing the contributions of past leaders is not only a tribute to their hard work but also a learning experience that can guide future generations of leaders. It serves as a foundation for fostering respect and understanding among Indonesian citizens.
Process of Building a Stronger Indonesia
President Prabowo’s acknowledgment of past leaders’ contributions points to a vision of continuous progress and development in Indonesia. It highlights the role of leadership in shaping the nation’s future and maintaining national unity.
