"I praise the Akabri 91 alumni who carried out their reunion with a focus on providing service to the community," General Listyo Sigit Prabowo remarked here on Saturday.
He said that the general public can access several health services for free at the event.
He informed that based on the reports he received, similar activities were also held in other regions of Indonesia and saw participation from approximately 40 thousand people.
He said that the activity is expected to be continued in order to provide services to people in need and bring the Indonesian Military and the Police (TNI and Polri) closer to the community.
"Please continue these activities so that TNI and Polri can get closer to the community," he added.
On the same occasion, the TNI commander, Admiral Yudo Margono, lauded all levels of the TNI and Polri leaders involved in the implementation of the health and social service event.
The event was held at Rampal Field in Malang city.
According to Margono, the activity can be a good example for other TNI officials on how events held by the military can benefit people in need.
