Prabowo Slams Those Who Plunder Indonesia's Wealth: Ungrateful Guests
President Prabowo Subianto issued a sharp rebuke against parties he considers to be plundering Indonesia's wealth. He likened them to "ungrateful guests" who initially came to trade but ended up robbing the nation's riches.
In his speech, Prabowo expressed concern over the theft and smuggling of national wealth abroad. He affirmed his resolve to protect and manage Indonesia's resources for the people's benefit.
Prabowo also noted that Indonesia faces huge challenges and many envious countries. He criticized guests who take advantage of Indonesian generosity, saying: "We welcome guests, we respect guests. But sometimes there are guests who don't know their place. Uninvited, they come here saying they want to trade, and before long, they're robbing us!" The remark drew applause from the audience.
