Candra Irawan, the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni of Bengkulu University, recently shared his insights following a Panel Discussion with Indonesian President Prabowo and Rectors and Leaders of State and Private Universities at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. The discussion focused on Indonesia’s rich and abundant natural resources, which Prabowo highlighted as underutilized but possessing great potential. Throughout the extensive five-hour conversation, the President emphasized the importance of budget-saving initiatives in various ministries and institutions to drive the country towards a more promising future. By addressing leaks in the state budget and streamlining operations, Prabowo aims to unlock resources that can enhance infrastructure and fuel progress across Indonesia.
For Candra, one of the most compelling aspects of the discussion was Prabowo’s commitment to efficiency and fiscal responsibility, which he believes will result in significant savings and ultimately contribute to a more prosperous Indonesia. The Vice Rector left the panel discussion feeling optimistic about the future under Prabowo’s leadership, highlighting the crucial role of effective resource management in advancing the country’s growth and development.
Overall, Candra’s experience at the Presidential Palace left him with a sense of hope for Indonesia’s future under Prabowo’s administration, underscoring the importance of strategic resource allocation and financial accountability in driving the nation forward.
