Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian Republic 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 Republic National University (UKRI) at the Trans Convention Center in Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
“You may be proud to be a graduate. But for me, deep down in my heart, I really respect street vendors; online motorcycle taxi drivers; meatball sellers; farmers, farm workers; daily laborers; port workers; and fishermen who risk their lives to provide for their wives and children,” said Prabowo.
“The street vendor, every day goes out, pushes through sweat, looks for food for his children and wife. 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 of this. Hey scholars, hey professors, hey technocrats. Your knowledge must be for your nation and your people. Your knowledge is for your nation and 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 people, 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 is known to have six faculties covering various fields of study. (SENOPATI)
