TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko Widodo or Jokowi said the Indonesian National Defense Forces (TNI) currently has a very good and high public trust.
The statement was made by the President when he spoke before around 1,500 TNI soldiers in Natuna Islands, Riau Islands Province.
According to President Jokowi, public trust for the TNI can be seen from the high ratings of trust among public institutions.
"There is public trust with very high ratings. I hope we all can maintain this trust because building trust cannot be done in one day, two days, three days, four days, or five days," he said.
The president added that one of the measures to maintain public trust is by restraining oneself from taking actions that can ruin the trust.
"We must not ruin the public trust because of things that we can actually manage and avoid," said Jokowi.
