Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian Republic National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto expressed his respect for the people who work hard to earn a halal living.
This was revealed by Prabowo in front of hundreds of male and female graduates of the Indonesian Republic University (UKRI) at the Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
“You may be proud to be a graduate. But I, in my heart actually, I have great respect for street vendors; online motorcycle taxi drivers, meatball sellers; farmers, farm workers; daily workers; dock workers; fishermen risking their lives to feed their wife and children,” said Prabowo.
“The street vendors, every day they go out, they push themselves, sweating, looking for food for their children and wives. That is what we should respect. They are noble. They are honest. They seek halal sustenance,” he added.
Prabowo said that the knowledge of scholars must be useful for the common people. He also reminded academics from 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 the nation and the country,” he said.
Prabowo then advised the scholars to always seek knowledge so they can become leaders who love the country and the people.
“I entrust it 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 has six faculties covering various fields of study. (SENOPATI)
