Elegant Resignation to the Red and White Cabinet Reshuffle Should Be an Example and Role Model
By: Jacob Ereste Freelance Journalist
The reshuffle replaced the old person with a new person as President Prabowo Subianto did to the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro who was replaced by Brian Yuliarto based on Presidential Decree No. 26b of 2025 concerning the Dismissal and Appointment of State Ministers of the Red and White Cabinet for the period 2025 – 2029.
Although in fact the reshuffle at the Ministry of Education and Culture was basically based on the request of Prof. Dr. Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro himself which was directly submitted to the President the day before, namely February 18, 2025. This means that the reshuffle was fine for the smooth implementation of the program to be carried out together with the Red and White Cabinet. However, the Minister’s own proposal to resign is clearly more honorable and elegant to be an example for other officials as sincerity and honesty to devote himself to the nation and state of Indonesia that he loves. At least, a position is not something that needs to be maintained, when the seriousness to measure ability with very limited facilities and infrastructure, so that if it is still forced it will actually harm the commitment to the nation and state. Primarily of course, Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro does not want to deny the oath of office that he will later have to be accountable to God Almighty.
It seems that the reshuffle of the Red and White Cabinet led by President Prabowo Subianto did it for the sake of and for the common good, so that the performance of the Red and White Cabinet can continue to run according to the predetermined target.
In essence, reshuffling the Red and White Cabinet after 100 days needs to be done. And Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro’s chivalrous attitude is worthy of appreciation and even should be an example for members of the Red and White Cabinet not to need to force themselves just for the sake of the position, while achievements that are difficult to measure will not be able to be done.
This means that Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro’s honest and consistent attitude can be a role model for a true knight that must be possessed by officials and also a leader figure in this country in order to be able to maintain dignified ethical and moral values in order to be an example for others.

On the same occasion, President Prabowo Subianto through Presidential Decree No. 26b of 2025 also appointed the Head and Deputy Head of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) and Presidential Decree No. 28b of 2025 appointed the Head and Deputy Head of the Central Statistics Agency. Even on the basis of Presidential Decree No. 29b of 2025, the Head of the National Cyber and Crypto Agency was dismissed and appointed, who was also directly inaugurated by the President.
So that in sequence the President has inaugurated the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology, Brain Yuliarto, the Head of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency, Muhammad Yusuf Ateh and his Deputy, Agustina Arumsari and the Head of the Central Statistics Agency, Amalia Adininggat Eidyasanti and her Deputy, Sonny Harry Budiutomo Harmadi and the Head of the National Cyber and Crypto Agency, Nugroho Sulistiyo Budi.
