In a bold and sweeping move to restore integrity to the Indonesian state, President Prabowo Subianto is laying down a new mandate that could redefine leadership in Indonesia. His message is sharp and unambiguous: no official—civilian, military, police, or judicial—shall be exempt from the call to discipline and national service.
Under Prabowo’s direction, every minister, coordinating minister, top military brass, and high-ranking police officer will be required to attend a mandatory national training camp. But this is no ordinary leadership program. The initiative is a deep reset—targeting not just physical preparedness, but the mental clarity, emotional stability, moral grounding, and national loyalty of those who hold positions of power.
“This is about the soul of the Republic,” a senior adviser noted. “Indonesia must come first—above party, above ego, and above personal gain.”
The President believes politics must come second—only after national development is achieved. All government officials are being reminded that once appointed, they must put aside personal and partisan interests and serve the country with full dedication.
But the transformation doesn’t stop at training. Prabowo is deeply aware that corruption and self-interest are embedded habits, not just policy errors. Therefore, he insists that a long-term post-training monitoring system be put in place. “We must ensure that those who leave the camp return to their posts with a clear mind and a clean conscience,” he reportedly stated. “And if they don’t, we must act.”
One of the most urgent areas under the President’s microscope is the Indonesian National Police. Long viewed with suspicion by the public, Polri is facing serious questions under Prabowo’s administration. A growing number of reports have emerged indicating that senior police officers have quietly acquired elite homes in the area surrounding the national police headquarters—paid in full, in cash. This pattern of unexplained wealth has ignited public outrage and further eroded trust in the institution.
Prabowo is said to be disgusted by this blatant show of impunity. He is demanding that the entire upper echelon of the police force undergo the same discipline and character-building process as other branches of government. “The badge must not become a license for unchecked privilege,” he reportedly said. “It must symbolize protection, fairness, and integrity.”
In addition, President Prabowo is preparing to include judges, state attorneys, and district prosecutors in this national character transformation. For too long, the legal system has been tainted by allegations of favoritism, selective enforcement, and corruption. “Justice must not be negotiable, and the law must not be for sale,” he emphasized.
What’s emerging under Prabowo’s leadership is a radical vision: a disciplined, honest, and patriotic bureaucracy—free from the entrapments of wealth accumulation, party intrigue, or political maneuvering. It is a return to public service as sacrifice, not opportunity.
This is not a symbolic gesture. This is a campaign to reclaim the moral spine of the state. And it begins with a simple but revolutionary idea: Indonesia comes first. Everything else must follow.
