Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian Republic National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto, attended the graduation of bachelor’s degrees at the Indonesian Republic National University (UKRI) at the Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
On that occasion, Prabowo delivered a message to hundreds of male and female graduates not to stop learning so that they can contribute more to the country.
Prabowo said Indonesia always needs the role of young people. He also encouraged the male and female graduates to become leaders who always love the people.
“I entrust to these young people, be leaders who love the people,” said Prabowo.
“We need tough young people, we need smart young people, we need clever young people,” he continued.
Prabowo assessed that the role of a leader is an important factor that influences the future of a group. He also advised the male and female graduates to base every step they take on prioritizing the interests of the people.
“You can be innovative, you must be creative, you must seek wealth without robbing the people’s money,” Prabowo continued.
“There are still many Indonesians who are struggling, many of our children who don’t eat breakfast. You young people are their hope.”
Prabowo reminded that the dedication of young people can begin from the smallest part in their environment. In addition to being clever, he also emphasized that young people must be resilient.
“We need young people as potential leaders. In the near future, you could potentially lead from the village level, then continue to rise,” Prabowo said.
UKRI is a university built from the noble ideals of the large family of Soemitro Djojohadikusumo who wants Indonesia to become a better nation.
Currently, UKRI has six faculties, namely the Faculty of Industrial Engineering; Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities; Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems; Faculty of Economics; and the newest, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. (SENOPATI)
