Police Process Dayak Cultural Union Report On Edy Mulyadi Calling Kalimantan The Place Of Jin Throwing Children

JAKARTA - The National Police is processing a report from the Dayak Cultural Union regarding Edy Mulyadi who said the sentence "Kalimantan" where the genie dumped children regarding the new state capital.

Even though Edy Mulyadi has apologized, a number of actions in East Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan took place in response to statements that were considered to have cornered Kalimantan.

"The East Kalimantan Police have received the report and have included it in the police report with the number LP/B/21/I/22/2022/ Polda Kaltim on January 24, 2022," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, to reporters on Monday, 24 January.

Apart from the Dayak Cultural Association, Edy Mulyadi was reported by GP Ansor, GMKI, Muhammadiyah Youth, Catholic Youth, and Hindu Youth in East Kalimantan.

The report against Edy Mulyadi is related to his statement which stated that East Kalimantan, which is the state capital (IKN), is a place for genies to throw children.

One of Edy Mulyadi's quotes that allegedly insulted East Kalimantan at his press conference read: "This is an elite place, owns a very expensive price, has its own building, then sold it, moved to a place where the genie disposed of children (new IKN)."

After being crowded on social media timelines, the Secretary General of the National Movement to Guard Fatwa (GNPF) Ulama, Edy Mulyadi, finally apologized for the polemic regarding the statement in Kalimantan where the genie dumped their child.

"If it is considered wrong, I apologize. If my friends in Kalimantan feel disturbed, insulted, of course I apologize," said Edy Mulyadi through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Monday, January 24.

The former PKS candidate then explained about his statement. According to him, he did not mean to insult the people of Kalimantan. However, he said, the place where the genie throws their child is only an analogy to describe a remote area.

"In Jakarta, the (term) place to dispose of the genie is described (for the area) as far away," explained Edy.
