Prabowo Celebrates 73rd Birthday: A Low-Key Affair with Megawati"</p>”>Megawati Dismissive of Opponents’ Perception of Her Prabowo Ties, Invokes Nasi Goreng
Jakarta, Indonesia
PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri has brushed off speculation suggesting strain in her relationship with President Prabowo Subianto, asserting that their rapport is amiable.
"People seem to think that my relationship with Prabowo is troubled, but that’s not true," Megawati stated during a political speech at PDIP’s anniversary celebration in Jakarta on Friday, January 10, 2025.
Megawati revealed that she had recently spoken with Prabowo, addressing concerns about his subordinates. Her comments elicited applause from PDIP members.
"Imagine, if one of our chairmen faces trouble, seeing their subordinates in the same situation is a shared feeling," Megawati said, again met with approving applause.
In a seemingly lighter tone, Megawati shared that Prabowo is particularly fond of her nasi goreng (fried rice). In fact, he has requested she cook it for him again.
"Of course, I’m not bragging when I say he enjoys my nasi goreng," Megawati said, chuckling at the memory. However, she admitted that she hasn’t fulfilled his request yet due to her current busy schedule and personal matters.
