President Prabowo Aims to Transform North Bali into The New Singapore

Bali, VIVA – President Prabowo Subianto has an ambitious vision to construct North Bali International Airport, aiming to transform the area into "The New Singapore, The New Hong Kong."

“We will build an international airport in North Bali so it can become the New Singapore, the New Hong Kong,” the President said on Monday (Nov 3).

President Prabowo said that as Head of State, he believes in thinking big and pursuing possibilities that others may consider impossible.

"We must have the courage to think big, to envision what others say is impossible, and then prove it possible,” he remarked.

President Prabowo hopes that Indonesia will become a prosperous, just, and wealthy nation, where allc itizens share in that prosperity—not just a select few.

“All Indonesians must benefit from this prosperity, not just a handful,” he emphasized.

To achieve this, the President urged future leaders of Bali to work hard and make the island the spearhead for the revival of Eastern Indonesia.

The Head of State also pledged to eliminate corruption and put an end to the greed and theft of public funds, ensuring that government resources are used solely for the people's benefit.

“The people’s money must be for the people. Those who want to serve, come forward with good intentions and a clean heart. Our people are good people—they will not let their leaders go unsupported. Not at all,” he stressed.

He called on Bali’s future leaders to fight for a corruption-free government and become role models of integrity. He believes that Bali, with its global reputation, has the potential to lead Indonesia’s resurgence.

“We must appreciate Bali’s renown. I entrust the future leaders of Bali to protect this island, preserving its unique personality and culture,” the President concluded.
