TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - During his visit to disaster-stricken Sigi, Central Sulawesi on Tuesday, presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto expressed his plans to form new state ministry dedicated to handling natural disasters if he gets elected in the upcoming presidential election.
“We are thinking of following that direction since many countries already have special agencies like that. Our area is just as you see here, prone to disasters, so we must be prepared,” said Prabowo Subianto in his press release.
