President Jokowi 'Intercepted' Junior High School Students During Visit To Lembata NTT, Delivers Love Letter To Car

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo traveled to East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) to see the post-disaster conditions of flash floods. One of them is in Amakaka Village, Ile Ape District, Lembata Regency.

There was a heartwarming moment when the number one man in the republic crossed the road to the location. A student in a white-and-blue uniform typical of junior high school 'intercepted' Jokowi.

The student then handed a white paper allegedly a 'love letter' to President Jokowi.

"Sir there is a letter sir, sir," said the student as he approached the car driven by Jokowi.

The left side windshield is open. Without worrying, Jokowi welcomed the student's letter and held a thank you sign.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir," said the student. It is not yet certain what the contents of the letter given by students to the former Governor of DKI Jakarta

During the visit, the President received a report that there are currently 163 victims who died. Meanwhile, there are still 45 people in the search.

"This is what we will continue to try so that the search can be found soon," Jokowi said in NTT, Friday, April 9.

However, Jokowi received reports that the evacuation process was hampered by rock material that covered the ground of the former flash flood.

"If we look at the field it is rocky. A very large rock that makes it very difficult for our machines. But I have ordered to continue to be searched and found that are still missing," said Jokowi.
