TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto revealed that he criticized directors of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) during the Danantara Town Hall Meeting at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on Monday, April 28, 2025. He refrained from disclosing the identities of those criticized or the specific nature of his reprimands.
Prabowo explained that the meeting was closed because of these criticisms. "Yes, it was closed because I reprimanded many directors. It's not appropriate to reprimand them in front of you (journalists)," he stated at the JCC in Jakarta on Monday, April 28, 2025.
During the meeting with directors of SOEs, Prabowo emphasized that Danantara represents the nation's wealth and must be managed effectively. "It must also implement a transparent and very strict system because this is an extraordinary wealth that can drive our nation's revival," he asserted.
Prabowo believes that well-managed assets will contribute to Indonesia's prosperity. He projected that Danantara's assets would soon reach US$1 trillion. "And if managed well, this can generate a substantial fund for our nation," he said.
Prabowo also urged all directors to perform their duties diligently and eliminate inefficient practices. "I leave it to the management to evaluate all directors, to evaluate their performance," he stated.
Prior to this, Prabowo held a closed meeting during the Danantara Town Hall Meeting at the JCC. He was accompanied by Danantara's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rosan Roeslani, Chief Operating Officer (COO) Dony Oskaria, and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Pandu Sjahrir.
The event commenced with the arrival of Prabowo and the Danantara executives, followed by a speech from CEO Rosan Roeslani. Roeslani announced that all 844 SOEs had officially become part of Danantara since March 21, 2025. He described Danantara's presence as a tangible manifestation of the government's commitment. "Danantara's presence is a tangible form of future government presence," Rosan stated during his address.
Following Rosan's speech, a video showcasing the 180-day work achievements of President-elect Prabowo Subianto and Vice President-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka was presented.
Subsequently, the host invited Prabowo to deliver his speech. However, CIO Pandu Sjahrir approached the host, leading to the host requesting media personnel to leave the room.
"Okay, to all media colleagues, I apologize. Due to certain reasons, please leave the Cendrawasih room," the host announced. Consequently, Prabowo's speech was not accessible to the press, and the live broadcast was terminated as he was about to begin speaking.
