00:00I have said that the space to give training and opportunities to public officials
00:08should be fully given to young people,
00:11in terms of intelligence, AI, digital, energy transition.
00:18Because I want, in a few years' time,
00:21our efforts to overcome the efforts of consultants.
00:26What is lacking in public officials?
00:30Training, discipline, and strength.
00:33The strength of public officials is different from the theoretical framework.
00:38Discuss and evaluate on paper.
00:41The strength of public officials,
00:44both in the field of teaching,
00:46and administration,
00:48is more than anything else.
00:50Because public officials are faced with problems
00:54and practical practices every day.
00:59And because of that, there is more strength.
01:04And if additional training is given,
01:08and I have asked for additional Rp 100 million, Rp 200 million,
01:13only to give intensive training,
01:16not necessarily an academic degree,
01:20either in the country or abroad,
01:24in the private sector, or in high-paying centers,
01:27or in the centers of excellence.
01:32I want to start this year,
01:35among the young public officials,
01:38to give maximum exposure,
01:41so that in a year or two, we will be able to give birth
01:44to the second line of public officials,
01:47who are not only able to fully fulfill the needs of the public,
01:53but also have more rigorous training.
01:56And I want this training to cover all levels.
01:59I want to go to the technical and agricultural level,
02:04the low technical level,
02:05so that everyone is given a better opportunity.
02:09Therefore, I want public officials,
02:13and public services in this country
02:16to be an example of the best services
02:21in developing countries,
02:23especially in Islamic countries.
02:25And this is the beginning.
02:29Wherever I study,
02:31I think in Peru recently,
02:34I told Transia Azzam,
02:36the president of Peru said he wanted to see
02:39and work together,
02:40increase cooperation with the SPRM.
02:44Because he saw,
02:46so strong and great,
02:48and brave,
02:49some actions were taken.
02:51In some other countries,
02:53in Egypt,
02:55the request from the president,
02:58so that the relationship and cooperation with public services,
03:02that was increased,
03:03because he followed the development
03:05and saw the way and the method of training in our country.
03:11This is not my service.
03:14This is not because I happen to be a minister.
03:17This is because of tradition and heritage,
03:20and our role now is to give a little more surprise and excitement,
03:26so that this spirit is increased.
03:28So, ladies and gentlemen,
03:31I ask that at the beginning of this month,
03:36at least,
03:37give a little space,
03:39in all offices,
03:42schools,
03:43institutes,
03:46with a more detailed discussion,
03:49how can we increase our service.
