Candra Irawan, the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni of Bengkulu University, recently took part in a Panel Discussion with Indonesian President Prabowo and Rectors and Leaders of State and Private Universities at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. The discussion provided insights into Indonesia’s abundant natural resources that are not fully utilized. President Prabowo emphasized the importance of leveraging resources like nickel, bauxite, and minerals to empower the Indonesian people under his leadership.
One key takeaway for Candra was Prabowo’s focus on implementing budget-saving measures across ministries and institutions. These measures aim to reduce leaks in the state budget, resulting in significant savings that can be redirected towards infrastructure development and progress in Indonesia. Candra is optimistic about the potential impact of these initiatives, believing they will contribute to a more prosperous and hopeful future for the country.
Candra’s experience at the panel discussion left him feeling positive about Indonesia’s future under Prabowo’s leadership. He highlighted the importance of efficient resource management and fiscal responsibility in driving growth and development in the nation. This discussion sheds light on the potential for a brighter and more optimistic Indonesia moving forward.
