Prabowo Subianto, the President of Indonesia, has reiterated his administration’s dedication to boosting the people’s economy by establishing 80,081 Merah Putih Village Cooperatives nationwide. During the official launch of these cooperatives, President Prabowo emphasized the importance of shortening supply chains to ensure that essential goods are easily accessible to low-income communities at fair prices. These cooperatives are set to provide village-level infrastructure like warehouses, pharmacies, and retail outlets, with a primary focus on delivering affordable generic medicines, fertilizers, and staple foods directly to the people. President Prabowo also stressed the need for strict monitoring and legal action against any fraudulent activities in the distribution of essential goods, utilizing artificial intelligence tools and quality control laboratories for faster detection of anomalies. He called for national unity in the pursuit of social justice, urging everyone to prioritize the nation and its people over individual or group interests. Let us all embrace truth, justice, and the values represented by the red and white of the Indonesian flag in our hearts as we move forward together.
