Prabowo Tells Army to Guard Raw Resources From Foreign Groups

President Prabowo Subianto told the military to guard Indonesia’s vast natural resources from foreign entities, saying such groups have been “stealing” and “smuggling” the country’s assets.

The military must help law enforcement and central and regional governments to protect the resources and ensure they are used to eradicate poverty, Prabowo said in a speech at a ceremony commemorating the military’s 80th anniversary in Jakarta on Sunday.
