Prabowo Introduces 'The Military Way' in Red and White Cabinet Retreat
Magelang. President Prabowo Subianto officially opened the Red and White Cabinet Retreat at the Indonesian Military Academy in Magelang, designed to provide training and guidance to the entire cabinet. Prabowo emphasized that his approach is not to impose a militaristic mindset but rather to inspire discipline and loyalty among his ministers.
“The Red and White Cabinet Retreat is an essential agenda to align the discipline and loyalty of the cabinet towards the nation,” Prabowo said, explaining that this initiative embodies “The Military Way,” a method often applied in both governments and corporations.
“I am not here to make you militaristic; that’s a misconception. Many governments and corporations have adopted The Military Way. The core values are discipline and loyalty—not to me, but to the Indonesian nation and people,” he said on Friday.
During his address, Prabowo outlined key expectations for the ministers, urging each ministry and agency to focus on eradicating poverty, implementing the Free Nutritious Meals Program, combating corruption, and achieving self-sufficiency in food and energy production.
“I have taken an oath to defend our nation and remain loyal to our people, as we all must,” Prabowo said firmly.
The event concluded with Prabowo, ministers, and deputy ministers joining in a photo session and a rallying cheer of “Red and White!” as the cabinet, dressed in white shirts, showed their solidarity.
The cabinet retreat in Magelang is set to run from Oct. 25 to 27, 2024, with 120 tents prepared to accommodate the 109 cabinet members. So far, ministers have received training in drill formations along with sessions on anti-corruption, development planning, budget structuring, and bureaucratic planning.
