I recently moved from Poland with my son to live in Bali, at least for some time. I have been all over the world and can say without a doubt, Indonesians are great people. Very positive, hardworking and open-minded. I wish them all the best and hope the new president will fulfill their hopes.

Aku pendukung anies, tapi dengan ketegasan prabowo di interview ini aku akan ikut serta mendukung kebijakan - kebijakan beliau pak prabowo lima tahun kedepan.bismillah

[christoraja]

Respect to our President elect, Mr. Prabowo Subianto, who spoke loud about true leadership and national interest priority by this short intrvw. For sure, we Indonesian people are not going to be interfered, nor to be determined by any foreign narrative judgement at all. We've been committed on it.

Best statement 20:21
“You talk about democracy, the people have decided…full stop”

He nailed it. Period.

pertanyaan paling skakmat untuk semua reporter luar negeri soal papua “emang kalian sudah kesana? kalian hanya melihat dari satu sisi” menyala presidenku 🔥

[auvabima]

I like how he answered every questions firmly without any diplomatic pleasantries, especially about Papua, no matter what or how big media he met.

[SNJ]

About Papua, the media sees just one side; they see OPM as a victim of military soldier, but never see many military soldiers also becomes victim of OPM, speak in the name of human right, but just from one side. Unfair!

[nefanka]

Mantap Pak Prabowo, bangsa Asing cuma menjadikan Papua sebagai alat untuk mengendalikan kita, seolah2 di sana paling buruk kehidupannya, banyak pelanggaran HAM di negara lain enggak ada yang peduli. Maju terus Indonesia.

[parikesitamorofficial]

Bring Indonesia to glory, Mr President. Bring Indonesia to comprehensive people's prosperity

[Travelermouse]

Yes agree with you Mr president elected!!! What you say to the reporter "You seen only one side story", you nailed it Mr prabowo!!

[Rosdatun]

Jujur narasi reporternya sangat memihak, seharusnya anda belajar dari kedua belah pihak tapi presiden terpilih kami tdk bisa dijebak dengan pertanyaan seperti itu. Kami mencintainya pak prabowo adalah presiden yang di tunggu² oleh Rakyat Indonesia. Dia menciptakan sejarah dengan pemilih terbanyak di dunia seharusnya anda sadar itulah bentuk kecintaan kami kepadanya.

[stephanialin]

His closing statement is the most sincere words from a man who are blessed with everything and want nothing but to serve his country to his last breath. May God guard your soul mr.Prabowo

[z.alitrianda]

2 times indonesia elections i choose Jokowi then this year i choose prabowo, everyone who makes indonesia moving forward i support!!

[achmadubaidillah]

Most questions, I think, contain western sides, but Mr. Prabowo still shows optimism with his sides, his opinion, and the optimism of the people of Indonesia. 🔥

[nkriindonesia]

Saya sudah hampir 14 tahun di papua pegunungan dan reporter ini berbicara papua seperti daerah terisolir dan teraniayaya😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[dwiwahyuariani]

Biarpun gw ga milih beliau, tp pertanyaan2 yg terlalu memihak western world dan ngegampangin situasi Indonesia sdh dijawab dg baik.

the most satisfying to watch start on minutes 15 until 21, there you go. That's why Erdogan said "Prabowo is the next Soekarno".

[RiRian-cwpr]

Five to ten years ago, no one would have thought that Prabowo could be as calm, composed, and meek as he appears today. Back then, he was seen as hot-tempered and ambitious, much like many military-background dictators worldwide. After all, he was the son-in-law of Suharto, the former Indonesian president who ruled for 32 years. However, one day he decided to become a minister under his presidential rival, our current president, Jokowi, a move that shocked many. Since then, he has changed; when presented to the media, he appears calmer, more insightful, tolerant, and even appreciative of many of his political opponents, despite their harsh words. He rarely utters derogatory remarks, and when he does, he publicly apologizes. It's as if a wild lion has been tamed, becoming docile and understanding. This transformation has touched the hearts of many Indonesians, almost like a story too good to be true, authored by a divine figure. Jokowi, whom I believe is the best president in Indonesia's history, is in a dilemma, as he cannot continue his presidency due to term limits. Amending the constitution would provoke protests from people of all backgrounds. Unlike clean countries like Singapore or Denmark, where prime ministers can remain in power indefinitely, having a leader without term limits could lead to never-ending corruption and authoritarianism in a country like Indonesia. It's unimaginable that Jokowi, despite the rivalry and two electoral contests with Prabowo, would endorse his rival as his successor. In summary, I cannot fully articulate all my thoughts in this writing. For me, it's remarkable, and Prabowo, I hope you can become the best leader you've always dreamed of.

What a really like from Mr prabowo that he's cannot be guided by any interviewer, if he see something unjust he just say that, and he's not trying to make himself look perfect. He's very clear when answering questions, so strange to see this kind of politician today
