President Prabowo Subianto experienced a heartwarming moment as he was escorted by Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin in a Pindad-made Maung tactical vehicle after a handover ceremony at the Ministry of Defense on Tuesday (October 22). The streets along Jalan Merdeka Barat to the Merdeka Palace were filled with crowds eager to catch a glimpse of Indonesia’s 8th President.
Among the admirers was a woman named Ayu, who was thrilled to meet Prabowo. She brought a copy of Prabowo’s book titled Merah Putih and managed to get his autograph. She expressed her gratitude by saying, “I finally got his signature. Thank you, sir. Stay healthy, and may you always succeed,” with tears of joy.
Netizens reacted to Ayu’s fortunate encounter, with one user expressing their desire to meet Prabowo as well. Another user shared that they also own the same book but have yet to meet Prabowo in person. The admiration for Ayu’s luck was evident in the comments, with another fan recalling their own experience of seeing Prabowo from afar at GBK in 2019.
The shared excitement among citizens highlights the deep admiration and connection many have towards President Prabowo.
