Ridwan Kamil Thumbs Up Arteria Dahlan's Apology To The Sundanese, Let's Take Care, Asih, Foster, Fragrant

JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR RI, Arteria Dahlan, finally apologized to the Sundanese people for his controversial statement during a working meeting with the Attorney General's Office.

Arteria sincerely said that the statement 'Kajati spoke in Sundanese, sir,' was not meant to discredit the Sundanese or be condescending. Everything that was conveyed merely reminded Kajati to use the national language so that it would be easier to understand.

West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil, who previously asked Arteria to apologize, appreciated the PDI-P politician's attitude. Kang Emil, as he is called, then gave an important philosophy of Sundanese people's life, penance honing, compassion, fostering, penance wawangi.

"He has conveyed his apologies to the Sundanese people this afternoon. Let's take care, love, foster, take care," said Kang Emil as reported by VOI via his Instagram @ridwankamil, Thursday, January 20.

Silih ash is a philosophy to love each other. Silih Asah means honing or sharpening each other and penance Asuh means guiding or nurturing each other. "A peaceful life, full of tolerance and mutual understanding is our identity," added Kang Emil.

Kang Emil hopes that every community can learn lessons from cases like this.

"Hopefully it will be a lesson to all of us who live in this beautiful country of Unity in Diversity. Hatur Nuhun," said Kang Emil.
