JAKARTA - Three ministers of the Advanced Indonesian Cabinet under President Joko Widodo appeared in the drama stage #PrestasiTanpaKorupsi to coincide with World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) 2019 at SMKN 57 Jakarta, Monday, December 9.

The three ministers are BUMN Minister Erick Thohir, Minister of Education and Culture Nadiem Makarim, and Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Whisnutama Kusubandio. They were accompanied by two other players, Bedu and Sogi Indra Dhuaja.

Nadiem and Sogi acted as class X school students complete with high school clothes, Erick Thohir became a meatball maker complete with a hat and towel around his neck and a meat cart, while Wishnutama and Bedu were also class XII students.

Reported by Antara, the drama took place telling the story of four high school students who were ordering bakos during school recess. The three initial players who played the acting were Sogi and Nadiem. Sogi becomes the treasurer entrusted with safeguarding cash but instead wants to use the cash to buy meatballs, while Nadiem tries to prevent the misuse of the money.

The following are excerpts of the comedy drama witnessed by President Joko Widodo, Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna H. Laoly, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan and students and teachers of SMK 57 Jakarta.

Sogi: Here I am holding cash, let's order meatballs.

Nadiem: It can't be like that.

Erick Thohir: No money, no meatballs.

Bedu: Tam, it took you really long, Tam.

Wishnutama: I was looking at this, this one is good, this one is good I am confused.

Bedu: You just look at brochures, do you want to be the minister of tourism?

Wishnutama: I'm looking at the college for my future, bro.

Bedu: Santuy just santuy.

Wishnutama: What do you mean?

Bedu: The important thing is that we as school children have good manners.

The two then saw Sogi and Nadiem who were sitting at the meatball vendor's table.

Bedu: Are you a grade 1 child? How come his face looks like the principal?

Sogi: It doesn't go up 7 times.

Bedu: I know who you are, you go around riding an ojek (to Nadiem).

Wishutama: The sky is blue, the heart is sad, uh, the new kid steps aside (sends Sogi and Nadiem away from the table).

Bedu: Bang Thohir, Bang Thohir meatballs.

Wisnu: Bang Thohir, one meatball has morals.

Bedu: Bang, you can use morals but don't use veins.

Bedu: It's really complicated, really, take a look at the brochures. Do you already know where you want to go to college? You don't know who my father is. My father continues to be an official. Sir, Bedu wants to go to college, giving me the most favorite campus in Indonesia. Use my father's connection, done.

Wisnu: Yes, bro, you still have nepotism today. Connections. Kagak era bro.

Bedu: If there's no connection, we can't surf.

Wishnutama: Not an internet connection.

Bedu: That's my father's facility, I just took advantage of it. While there is.

Wisnu: Just because your boss's son doesn't stop.

Erick suddenly walked in.

Wishunutama: Instead of making meatballs, it will surprise people.

Erick: This is what the boss's son said?

Wishnutama: Bang brush. Like the SOE minister, there are things that are not right.

Erick: Don't just say that the boss's children take advantage of the facilities, relationships. The name is nepotism, no. Later, when you grow up, you will continue to be president, and even leave your belongings. Meatball builders understand this.

Bell rings.

Wishutama: Oh, you, Du, most styles.

Erick: You guys are back. The meatball is ready for me to make later.

Sogi: Bro, you're hungry right now, it's okay to be a little late.

Erick: You have corrupted money now you are corrupt in time, do you want to be a corruptor?

Sogi: Earlier it was money, now is the time, okay, I have a rhyme for you. Eat sago, don't use shrimp paste, I don't want to be a corruption dealer.

Wishnutama: Instead of corruption money, corruption of time, it's better to think about creative innovative things to make our school proud.

Thohir: It is suitable to be your creative economy minister.

Wishnutama: Earlier you said you were the Minister of Tourism, now the Minister of Creative Economy, Brother.

Erick: Yes, just combine the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy

Wishunutama: Is that the President?

Thohir: Go to class, the important thing is to know everything that corruption, collusion, nepotism are wrong, it's better for you to be disciplined in your studies, I hope that your learning achievements will be more streamlined without corruption.

This drama is about 15 minutes long. Erick said, this drama has a pretty good moral message. One of the messages of this drama is that morality and anti-corruption education must enter schools.

"I think it is good if we can apply moral education from schools, and corruption is part of moral guarding. This must be instilled from an early age, do not force old people, cultivate young ones so that our character is good. As the President said that we must continue to upgrade our system so that from the start it will have the same character, "said Erick.

President Jokowi also commented on this drama. He emphasized that corruption should not be the smallest thing. "Small and big, still corruption is not allowed," said Jokowi,

Jokowi also commented on the acting of these drama players. He said, the best acting of this drama is Nadiem. Because, continued Jokowi, Nadiem still looks like a high school student.

Meanwhile, Erick Thohir, said Jokowi, was still lacking in acting because he was still impressed as a 'new meatball maker'.

"The towels are new, the clothes are new, the meatball cart is new," said the President.
