By: Elisabeth Titania Dionne )*
All parties are very hopeful that the government transition process from President Joko Widodo to President-elect Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka will run smoothly.
Support from various elements of society, including security forces and social organizations, shows that the continuity of this leadership will ensure that Indonesia continues to advance. Each party continues to play an active role in overseeing the transition with a focus on realizing the vision of national development that has been achieved and continues to be achieved.
GP Ansor and Banser, as examples of representatives of large youth organizations in Indonesia, have expressed full readiness to oversee this transition. GP Ansor General Chairperson, Addin Jauharudin, emphasized that the entire Ansor structure will be maximized to ensure the transition process runs smoothly and peacefully.
Ansor not only plays a role in maintaining security during the transition period, but is also committed to supporting development targets under the leadership of President Prabowo and Vice President Gibran. With a wide network extending to remote villages, GP Ansor is ready to help ensure that government programs are delivered well to the grassroots community.
In addition, Ansor also pays attention to economic growth. With a target of achieving economic growth of up to 8 percent, Ansor will mobilize all its strength, including Banser as a state reserve component, to support the achievement of this goal.
The support reflects optimism that under Prabowo-Gibran’s leadership, Indonesia will be able to leap further in terms of economic development and the quality of human resources.
On the other hand, all ranks of the joint security forces such as the Police, TNI and BIN are also important pillars in maintaining the stability of the country during the transition process. National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo emphasized that all institutions are ready to oversee this transition process with full professionalism.
The security forces continue to improve their capacity in facing the increasingly complex challenges of the nation. With guidance and direction from the President, the security forces are confident that the stability of the country will be maintained, especially at critical times like this.
The Chief of Police also emphasized the importance of awareness of the ever-changing strategic environment. In this case, the TNI, Polri and BIN do not only focus on domestic security aspects, but also pay attention to potential external threats that can affect the nation’s progress.
They are ready to support the implementation of all government programs consistently and sustainably, while maintaining their neutrality during the political contestation period, including in the implementation of the upcoming Simultaneous Regional Elections.
The importance of a smooth transition is not only related to political and security stability, but also to the sustainability of priority programs that have been planned. One of the flagship programs carried by Prabowo-Gibran is “Free Nutritious Meals.”
The program is a concrete solution to the problem of malnutrition that still plagues most of the Indonesian people. Bambang Soesatyo, a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives, stated that the program is very relevant considering that many people still suffer from malnutrition. Therefore, he invited all entrepreneurs to fully support the implementation of the program in the Prabowo-Gibran government.
Data shows that around 21 million Indonesians suffer from malnutrition, with a fairly high stunting rate of 21.6 percent in children under five. The Free Nutritious Meal Program, which focuses on fulfilling maternal and child nutrition, is expected to be able to reduce stunting rates and reduce maternal and infant mortality rates.
Based on the Ministry of Health’s records, in 2023, the maternal mortality rate increased to 4,129 cases, while the infant mortality rate reached 29,945. Bamsoet also considered that the program was very important to improve the nutritional conditions of the community, especially for the poor who still have difficulty accessing nutritious food.
In addition to the problem of nutrition, Bamsoet also highlighted the problem of poverty that still haunts most of the community. With the Free Nutritious Meal program, it is hoped that the government can help tens of millions of poor people in meeting their basic needs, especially in terms of nutritional fulfillment. This is in line with the mandate of Article 34 paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution which states that the poor and neglected children are cared for by the state.
Full support for Prabowo-Gibran’s programs is a crucial step to ensure that ongoing development programs continue and have a real impact on society.
Prabowo-Gibran’s leadership is expected to continue and improve the achievements that have been achieved in the era of President Jokowi and Vice President KH. Ma’ruf Amin, especially in terms of improving people’s welfare, improving infrastructure, and strengthening human resources.
A smooth and peaceful government transition process is a guarantee that the grand vision for a more advanced Indonesia can be realized. All elements, both from civilians, security forces, and community organizations, are ready to oversee the transition. With full support from various parties, a better, more prosperous, and more globally competitive future for Indonesia is increasingly real.
