Indonesian President Recognises 'Problems' with Free Meal Scheme The Indonesian government's ambitious plan to provide free meals to millions of citizens has hit a roadblock, with President Prabowo Subianto admitting to "problems" with the scheme just months after its launch.
The initiative, aimed at combating malnutrition and food insecurity, was launched as one of the president's signature policies since his election in 2024.
The idea behind this program is laudable – feeding millions of people in a country where more than 20% of children suffer from stunting due to severe malnutrition.
