Candra Irawan, the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni of Bengkulu University, recently participated in a Panel Discussion with Indonesian President Prabowo and various Rectors and Leaders from State and Private Universities at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. The discussion was insightful, with President Prabowo emphasizing Indonesia’s vast natural resources that have immense potential yet remain underutilized. Of particular interest to Candra was Prabowo’s focus on implementing budget-saving measures across ministries and institutions to generate significant savings and pave the way for a brighter future for Indonesia. By addressing leaks in the state budget and optimizing operations, Prabowo aims to reallocate resources towards infrastructure development and overall progress in the country. Candra expressed optimism about the impact of these initiatives under Prabowo’s leadership, envisioning a more prosperous and hopeful Indonesia. His experience at the panel discussion left him hopeful for a better future, emphasizing the importance of efficient resource management and fiscal responsibility in driving growth and development in the nation.
