Presiden Prabowo Subianto mengungkapkan kerap melontarkan candaan bahwa dirinyamerupakan lulusan Universitas Oxford, Inggris, bahkan Harvard di Amerika Serikat. Namun, dengan gaya khasnya, ia menegaskan bahwa "kuliah di Oxford-Harvard" yang dimaksud hanyalah sebatas berkunjung ke toko buku kampus ternama itu.Hal itu disampaikan Presiden Prabowo Subianto dalam acara Forbes Global CEO Conference, Rabu (15/10).
00:00No. I know that the Anglo-Saxon community, you know, they're very impressed by Oxford, Cambridge, for those, you know, the British, etc., Commonwealth people, very impressed hearing the words Oxford and Cambridge.
00:24And for the American-oriented people, very impressed by Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Cornell, so I understood that.
00:38So one day I was in a reception, it was the Queen's birthday, I think, Queen's birthday in Jakarta, and I was there with my deputies.
00:51I was chairman of the party, he was the deputy chairman, and he graduated from the London School of Economics.
01:00So in the reception, all the young British diplomats surrounded him and didn't address me at all, right?
01:13So why? Because I heard, I keep hearing, you know, oh, Excellency, you graduated from LSE, London, you know, and so my deputy was saying yes.
01:25And so then I, you know, wanting some attention, I broke in, I said, actually, I went to Oxford, you know, and they all changed their attention to me.
01:38They surrounded me. They surrounded me. Oh, you went to, which college did you go to?
01:44No, no, no, actually, I went to the bookstore in Oxford.
01:46But, but, but, no, this works every time. It works every time. Just now, a few, a few minutes ago, I think there was Ted, Ted Oysius, yeah?
02:06Ted was there with William, right? And apparently both of them were graduates of Harvard, right?
02:13So they were very proud of it, you know, so they mentioned that, yeah, we are, we are Harvard graduates, same class, 1984, right?
02:23He said, so, you know, I didn't want to lose out, so I said, no, I also went to Harvard.
02:31So Ted, which college did you go to? I said, no, no, I went to the bookstore in Harvard.
