Prabowo Subianto, who was elected as the President for the 2024-2029 period, attended the National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas) of the PAN party in Jakarta on Thursday (9/5). During the event, he shared the significance of the numbers 8 and 13 that often appear in his life.
“Today is a good day, when viewed from a numerical perspective. We may or may not believe it, but there are always numbers that appear in our lives. I want to tell you that the numbers 8 and 13 always appear in my life,” said Prabowo.
He recounted that when he was a captain, many soldiers were given code names. These codes were mainly in the Sanskrit language because many soldiers at that time were Javanese.
“When I had a commander from Batak named Luhut Pandjaitan, he wanted to change the codes into numbers,” revealed Prabowo.
At that time, Prabowo admitted that he received the code number 08 and since then he has been called by that number until now.
However, Prabowo understands that the number 08 is his strength that led him to become the 8th President of the Republic of Indonesia.
Prabowo is also grateful because he has learned a lot from the previous elected presidents. Besides the number 8, the number 13 also holds a special meaning for Prabowo.
“I found that the number 13 is also a positive number for me. When I was about to be inaugurated as the commander of Battalion 328, I realized that I was the 13th commander,” explained Prabowo.
From there, Prabowo concluded that the number 13 brings luck to him and contributes to his success. All these numbers motivate him, including when he succeeded in the presidential election with a vote percentage of 58.58 percent.
Therefore, Prabowo concludes that the numbers 8 and 13 have a positive significance in his life.
