He welcomed the 83.5 percent public satisfaction rating reported by a recent Index Politica survey, attributing the high score to Prabowo’s leadership and policy focus.
According to Lahadalia, the administration has prioritized pro-people initiatives such as the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program, the Sekolah Rakyat education program for underprivileged children, the Red and White Village Cooperatives, and efforts to achieve food and energy self-sufficiency.
