State Capital Location Is Called A Place For Genies To Throw Children, North Kalimantan DPD Is Angry

JAKARTA - Senator DPD RI from North Kalimantan, Hasan Basri, regretted the statement of Edy Mulyadi who allegedly insulted the people of Kalimantan. According to him, the diction used by the Secretary-General of the Ulama's National Movement to Guard Fatwa (GNPF) really hurt his heart as a Kalimantan citizen.

"This statement certainly hurts our hearts (Kalimantan residents). We have to differentiate between criticism and insults," Hasan said, Monday, January 24.

Members of Committee III DPD RI, assessed the way Edy Mulyadi's refusal to move the new State Capital (IKN) was very bad. Because, he said, the person concerned seemed to insult the location where the new capital was built.

"It's not appropriate for him to speak like that towards people's areas, it hurts instead," said Hasan.

It is known, the legislative candidate from PKS Edy Mulyadi became the talk of netizens after insulting Kalimantan with inappropriate words.

In a meeting, a video recorded Edy Mulyadi mentioning that Kalimantan, which will become the new capital city of Indonesia, is a place for genies to throw away their children.

"Can you understand, there is an elite place that belongs to us which is expensive. We have our own building there and then sell it, move it to a place where the genies dispose their children," he said.

"Whose market? If the market is for kuntilanak and genderuwo, why build there," said Edy, who went viral on social media
