Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto, attended the graduation of bachelor’s degree students from the Indonesian National University (UKRI) at the Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
In that occasion, Prabowo delivered a message to hundreds of male and female graduates to never stop learning so they can contribute more to the country.
Prabowo said that Indonesia always needs the role of young people. He also encouraged the graduates to become leaders who always love the people.
“I entrust these young people to be leaders who love the people,” said Prabowo.
“We need strong young people, we need smart young people, we need intelligent young people,” he added.
Prabowo assessed that the role of leaders is one of the important factors that affect the future of a group. He also advised the graduates to base their every step 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 in difficulty, many of our children who don’t eat breakfast. You young people are their hope.”
Prabowo reminded that the dedication of young people can start from the smallest part in their environment. Besides being smart, he also emphasized that young people must be tough.
“We need young people as future leaders. In the near future, you may lead starting from the village level, then continue to rise,” said Prabowo.
UKRI is a university built from the noble ideals of the Soemitro Djojohadikusumo family who want Indonesia to become a better nation.
Currently, UKRI has six faculties, namely the Faculty of Industrial Engineering; Faculty of Social and Literature Sciences; Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems; Faculty of Economics; and the latest one, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. (SENOPATI)
