Prabowo at the 100th Anniversary Reception of Pondok Gontor

He accused these “foreign agents” of wanting to weaken Indonesian society by spreading misinformation online.

“Don’t believe everything you see on social media. They want to lower our spirits, our courage, our confidence, they want us weak,” Prabowo said.

He added that these agents want Indonesia to remain poor and enslaved by other nations.

“They want us to stay poor, to be their slaves forever. We do not want to be slaves to other nations!” Prabowo declared.

Surprised by His Own Achievements

Prabowo admitted he was surprised to discover many successes his administration has achieved for the people, even though it has been in office for just under two years.

He said he only learned the details after his internal team compiled them into a book.

“I myself was surprised; I didn’t know they made that book. Suddenly they handed it to me. I read it and realized just how much we have accomplished — I didn’t fully realize how much we’ve done for the Indonesian people,” Prabowo said.

The statement came after Prabowo expressed greater confidence in carrying out his mandate as President.

His confidence has grown because his administration, soon approaching its two-year milestone, has delivered many benefits to the people.

“I’m confident because now we’ve proven we are not mere talkers! As proof, if I’m not mistaken, the book made by my team has been distributed,” Prabowo said.

The head of state then urged the public to study the government’s various achievements detailed in the book.

“There are many accomplishments listed in this book in front of you. Study it and believe that Indonesia’s future is bright,” Prabowo said.

One achievement he highlighted was Indonesia's attainment of food self-sufficiency, a goal he has long championed.

He pointed out that a world full of conflicts and wars underscores the importance of a country not depending on others.

“Praise be to God, we have reached food self-sufficiency, our reserves are sufficient. We have taken steps to anticipate adverse weather like El Niño and drought. We are ready,” Prabowo said.
