The Indonesian Menpora highly appreciates the success made by Budi Gunawan in his efforts to be able to continue to advance national sports to the international arena.
The Minister of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Indonesia (Menpora RI), Zainudin Amali, gave his high appreciation to the extraordinary efforts that had been made by Budi Gunawan.
According to him, the inauguration of the Sports Association for the State Intelligence Agency (PORBIN) was clearly able to make BIN develop.
“I, as the Indonesian Menpora, once again thank and appreciate the extraordinary efforts of the Head of BIN, the General of Police (Purn), Prof. Dr. Budi Gunawan, Ph. D, which made BIN grow and have a vision for the future,” said Menpora Amali.
Even so far, for him, the role of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) since the leadership era of Budi Gunawan has really helped Kemenpora.
“I think I feel helped by the role of BIN, not only giving opportunities to athletes, but also guaranteeing their future,” said Zainudin Amali.
With the assistance and guarantees provided by BIN to all athletes, they can continue to focus on achieving achievements.
“Thus, athletes will stay focused and concentrate on achieving achievements that are still possible. And they are not disturbed by thoughts about their future because BIN has provided guarantees for their future,” said Menpora Amali.
The 60-year-old RI Menpora was even surprised by the efforts of BIN in educating athletes for the advancement of the world of national sports.
“I really appreciate it. What I witnessed this morning until noon today was something beyond my expectations. I used to only think that the Intelligence Service only educates children to have knowledge, insight into intelligence, but what I witnessed was extraordinary,” he said.
The reason is, with this extraordinary education, it allows Indonesian athletes to continue to excel in sports but on the other hand also excel in academics.
“I think this is a positive and very good thing, even they are still given the freedom to excel in sports but also academically they are still given the opportunity to broaden their horizons and actualize their academic abilities in this STIN,” continued Menpora Amali.
Meanwhile, the Head of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) as well as General Chairperson of the Indonesian Esports Executive Board (PBESI), General Pol (Purn) Budi Gunawan himself stated that the formation of PORBIN was intended to continue to improve the achievements of athletes.
“To be able to continue to improve their achievements at the national level, as a form of athlete contribution, we formed the BIN Sports Association, which consists of 8 sports,” he said.
With the aim of continuing to develop the National sports ecosystem, he accommodates all athletes who are talented and have the potential to continue to be developed.
“We are raising the potential of the best athletes and coaches at the national level to be involved in creating an ecosystem for the development of achievement sports at BIN so that the potential of the best talents in this institution can be developed, especially among STIN cadets,” said Budi Gunawan.
Of course, with this, according to him, there is a huge opportunity for Indonesia to compete in the international arena.
“Alhamdulillah, we see a great opportunity to contribute to the name of the nation on the international stage through this sport,” added the Head of BIN.
