President Prabowo Subianto has reaffirmed his commitment to boosting the people’s economy by establishing 80,081 Merah Putih Village Cooperatives nationwide. During the official launch of these cooperatives, he stressed the importance of shortening supply chains to ensure that essential goods are easily accessible and affordable for low-income communities. The initiative aims to create village-level infrastructure like pharmacies and retail outlets to provide affordable generic medicines, fertilizers, and staple foods directly to the people. President Prabowo also emphasized the need for strict oversight to prevent fraudulent practices in staple goods distribution, utilizing artificial intelligence tools and quality control laboratories for faster detection of anomalies. He called for unity in upholding social justice and prioritizing the nation’s interests over party or group interests. Let us follow the red and white in our hearts to guide our actions towards a better future for all Indonesians.
