'Modal' Podcast, Uya Kuya Asks Indonesian People To Believe Artists Who Become Members Of The DPR

JAKARTA - DPR member Uya Kuya invites the public to give the council members the first opportunity for the 2024-2029 period with an artist background.

"Give this selected artists a chance to show their performance first. Maybe the artists who become DPR will have more impact than those who are not artists," said Uya Kuya as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, October 1.

However, Uya Kuya does not want to boast after becoming a member of the DPR for the next 5 years.

"The important thing is not our physical appearance, not our physical in the DPR, but our integrity. The point is that. However, I also do not blame people who are skeptical of artists," he said.

Meanwhile, Uya Kuya promised to be vocal when she was a member of the DPR as she did in her personal broadcast.

"If you look at my podcast, what I did might be bolder than the existing members of the DPR, and there has never been a history of my podcast that oversees legal cases, there are elements of the apparatus, whatever, I take down (revocation of release, ed)," he said.

He said, "Even though the pressure has been around all this time. So, God willing, if I was in the system, I would be even more vocal."

For placement, he hopes to become a member of Commission I, III, IX, or X of the DPR.

In addition, Uya Kuya said the issue of migrant workers was one of the issues of concern.

"For me, I mostly focus on migrant workers because I am an electoral area of the country as well. That is the Migrant Workers Act (Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers) I think the law is good, but the applications are not very good," he said.
