Prabowo Subianto, the Indonesian Minister of Defense and President-elect for 2024-2029, appeared to be in good health during his meeting with President Joko Widodo at the State Palace in Jakarta on Monday (8/7). Despite having recently undergone leg surgery, Prabowo was seen joking around, striking a silat martial arts pose, and lightly jogging while greeting the media. When asked about his health, Prabowo responded with two thumbs up, assuring everyone of his well-being.
This visit to the State Palace marked Prabowo’s third public appearance since his surgery at the National Defense Central Hospital (RSPPN) Panglima Besar Soedirman in Jakarta. Prior to this, he had attended the 78th Bhayangkara Day at the National Monument (Monas) on July 1, 2024, and had also unveiled the Indonesian team’s jersey for the Paris 2024 Olympics on July 5, 2024.
Taking to his personal Instagram on June 30, 2024, Prabowo expressed his gratitude to President Jokowi for his moral support and prayers during his recovery. He explained that the medical procedure he underwent was risky, but he did it for the nation and the country, emphasizing his commitment to serving the people.
