Solo Pilkada Debate: Bajo Independent Challenger Ask Gibran What Is Millennial, Touching Javanese Culture

JAKARTA - The pair of candidates for mayor-deputy mayor for the independent route of Surakarta Bagyo Wahyono-FX Supardjo (Bajo) asked the pair Gibran Rakabuming Raka-FX Supardjo about millennials. What is millennial?

“Still around millennials, we know that many Solo people are not only millennials but adults and parents. What I want to ask is what are called millennials, what millennials are, "said candidate for deputy mayor number 2, Supardjo in the Solo Pilkada debate broadcast by KPU Solo in collaboration with Metro TV, Friday, November 6.

Gibran did not answer this question. The son of President Joko Widodo gave the opportunity to the vice mayor of Solo, Teguh Prakosa, to answer questions from the independent candidate for Bajo.

"So these millennials are between the ages of 16-27 years. So if these children graduate from high school and vocational high schools or even in order to finish college, they must be given skills, given jobs so that they don't go to socializing, free (from) drugs. This is a challenge for all of us because millennial children who become the nation's children will grow in the next 10-20 years, ”Teguh Prakosa said in the Solo Pilkada debate hosted by Metro TV presenter Eva Wondo.

From this answer, the independent pair responded. The candidate for mayor of Solo, Bagyo Wahyono, talks about Javanese customs.

"According to Bajo, millennial is how millennials still uphold ethics, culture, customs. "It is our nature to provide training but uphold the ethics of eastern manners, millennials, uphold Javanese cultural customs," Bagyo said in the Solo Pilkada debate.
