President Prabowo Subianto attended a halal bihalal -a post-Ramadhan gathering -on Tuesday (05/06) at Balai Kartini, Jakarta.

The event brought together the extended families of the Indonesian National Armed Forces and the Indonesian National Police, including retirees.

On that occasion, the Head of State offered prayers for the nation’s safety and expressed hope that Indonesia would remain under the guidance of God Almighty through the coming years.

“May God Almighty continue to protect and guide Indonesia in the coming years, leading our nation along the righteous path and bestowing His blessings upon us,” said the President.

The President also reminded the importance of building the nation gradually and collectively, while mentioning that another important aspect of building a nation is appreciating the contributions of predecessors who have laid the foundations of this country (Indonesia).

“It is impossible to build a nation in just 5 or 10 years. No country has ever been established in a decade, and nation-building is not the work of one or two presidents alone. It requires the collective effort of all element of the country,” the President added.

Therefore, the President ordered all retirees to remain enthusiastic and encouraged them to continue contributing to the nation.

“It is true that we, as a retiree, no longer have the responsibility and authority as soldiers to serve our country. However, if we still have the ability, the spirit, or anything else valuable to offer, we should continue contribute,” the President concluded.
