What is clear is that when SBY was president, SOEs were in a great condition,” said Prabowo at SBY’s house in South Jakarta on Tuesday, July 24, which was followed by laughter and cheers from Democratic Party elites that attended the meeting.
Prabowo revealed that he is worried with the current condition of state-owned enterprises, that he considers to be Indonesia’s economic last defense. “So when SOEs are threatened, our country is under threat also,” Prabowo claimed.
