Prabowo Subianto’s dedication to providing free nutritious meals for Indonesian children dates back to 2006, well before his victory in the 2024 presidential election. His younger brother, Hashim Djojohadikusumo, shared this information at an event in South Jakarta on 7 January, marking International Disability Day. Highlighting Prabowo’s unwavering commitment to the Free Nutritious Meal Programme (MBG), Hashim mentioned that even during the 2014 election campaign, Prabowo advocated for this cause. Prabowo strongly believes in ensuring that Indonesian children have access to proper nutrition and education, as he envisions a bright future for the country through these initiatives. As the 8th President of Indonesia, Prabowo officially launched the MBG programme on 6th January 2025, extending it to all 31 provinces across the nation. This program is a testament to Prabowo’s enduring belief in providing essential nutrition for the next generation of Indonesians, ultimately contributing to the country’s growth and global standing.
