Examined The Case Of The Megamendung Crowd, Ridwan Kamil Offends Mahfud MD: He Must Take Responsibility

BANDUNG - West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil was questioned by West Java Police investigators for nearly 2 hours. After being questioned, Ridwan Kamil then offended the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD regarding Mahfud's statement.

"The confusion I value dragged on, initially this was from Mr. Mahfud. There is a different interpretation in the community, that when Habib Rizieq comes home he can be picked up as long as it is orderly and peaceful. So there is discretion from Mr. Mahfud to PSBB in Jakarta and West Java," said Ridwan Kamil at the Police Headquarters. West Java, Wednesday, December 16.

Ridwan Kamil, who is familiarly called Kang Emil, said that Mahfud MD had to straighten out the aftermath of the appearance of crowds in a number of locations. Moreover, the crowd had already occurred during Rizieq Shihab's pick-up at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Cengkareng, Banten.

"I think he must be responsible and everyone has a role that must be clarified," he explained.

Ridwan Kamil questioned the pick-up issue at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Because there is no clear legal process related to the crowd at the airport.

"Now there is a regent when HRS returns, who also have a lot of mass. Should have experienced the same legal treatment," said Emil Kang.

Bogor Regent Ade Yasin was also questioned by the police. Ade Yasin answered 50 questions from investigators from the West Java Regional Police General Criminal Investigation Directorate regarding the crowd case in Megamendung, Bogor, during the Rizieq Shihab activity.

Ade Yasin left the West Java Regional Police Ditreskrimum Building at 16.06 WIB after six hours of questioning by investigators since 10:00 WIB.

"Regarding the crowd case in Megamendung, there are about 50 questions and I have answered all of them," he said, at the West Java Regional Police, Bandung, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, December 15.

Regarding the investigation, he stated, they had never issued a permit to Shihab in Megamendung, Bogor, on Friday, November 13.

"Because at that time there was no notification, so we also could not give permission, whatever the official letter, we replied that it did not exist," he said.

In addition, according to him, so far there has been no specific cluster for the spread of COVID-19 in the Megamendung area after Shihab's activities, which allegedly gathered 3,000 people.
