Prabowo Subianto, the president-elect, has called on the elected members of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Gerindra party to remain loyal to the people and the nation. He made this statement during a briefing for party members at Padepokan Garuda Yaksa, Hambalang, Bogor, West Java on Monday, September 23.
“Thank you to all of you as fighters at the front line. Thank you once again for your loyalty. Remember to serve and work for our people. We are on the right path, we stand firm, our loyalty is to the people and our nation,” said Prabowo.
He emphasized that loyalty should be focused on the people, not on himself as an individual. He urged party members to support him as long as he fights for what is right, but to leave him if he strays from the right path.
“I ask you not to be loyal to me as an individual. As long as I stand for what is right, support me. If you see I am on the wrong path, please leave me,” Prabowo stated.
He also reaffirmed his oath to die defending the people, the poor, and the honor of Indonesia.
“My oath is to die for the truth, to die defending my people, to die for the poor, to die defending the honor of Indonesia. I have no doubt,” Prabowo concluded. (RR)
