Jakarta – Prabowo Subianto, the President-elect of Indonesia for the term 2024-2029, wasted no time in getting back to work just a week after undergoing successful surgery for a leg injury. Prabowo made an appearance at the 78th anniversary of Bhayangkara held at Monas, Jakarta on Monday (July 1), which was officiated by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and attended by the public, ministers from the Indonesia Maju Cabinet, ambassadors from various countries, the Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), his staff, and retired members of the Indonesian National Police (Polri).
Wearing a gray suit, Prabowo was warmly welcomed by Jokowi at the start of the event. He stood tall and saluted, earning applause from the audience.

“With the grace of God and my restored health, I am more determined than ever to serve and devote myself to the country and the people of Indonesia. I am grateful to everyone for their prayers and support,” Prabowo stated.
