Dharma Pongrekun Up To 3 Times Says 'Judging' In Jakarta's Pilkada Debate When Responding To Ridwan Kamil's Statement

JAKARTA - Paslon number 2 Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana said three hate words in the second debate of the Jakarta Regional Election, Sunday, October 27. Dharma Pongrekun expressed this in response to Ridwan Kamil's explanation regarding the handling of COVID-19 in West Java.

Ridwan Kamil initially explained that when he served as Governor of West Java, he underwent a fairly tough test because the budget prepared had to be refocused for handling social assistance, humanity faced COVID-19.

"I am undergoing a test as a leader, whose budget must be refocused, which was previously our infrastructure to shift for humanity for social assistance for life and so on. And during such a lack of funds we received an award from UNDP as the best province for handling COVID throughout Asia Pacific," said Ridwan Kamil in the debate.

The host then invited Dharma Pongrekun to respond or respond to the statement from the pair number 1. Unexpectedly, Dharma Pongrekun issued a disgust.

"If I were a governor, I would hate me if I was stupid, I would hate me if I was a coward, I would disgust me if I was a traitor. What does that mean, if there is something such an event, it would be nice if we took it, invite an independent team to examine the existing data, whether this is really a health issue or a global political agenda," said Dharma Pongrekun.

"Imagine that the virus (COVID-19) was only discovered in December, 12 days later it was determined not to carry out the procedure... The diagnosis tool is very fluid and is not intended for that... it is the creation of a doctor... As a leader should not betray the people," said Dharma Pongrekun.

Answering that COVID is a global conspiracy, Ridwan Kamil answered diplomatically.

"What we are working on, there is a big event that we don't know yet. A leader if we don't know we are asking, then when I was in West Java I had a team of experts, a team of public health transfers from the University of Indonesia from Padjadjaran University,"

"We have had seven zoom meetings with an Indonesian doctor who works at WHO to synchronize what is the data and what we hope as governor we must obey what is called the central government, in this case of course now if our governor will obey Mr. Prabowo Subianto," added Ridwan Kamil.
