Ma'ruf Amin Supports Jokowi For Two Periods In History Today, August 1, 2018

JAKARTA History today, seven years ago, August 1, 2018, Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), Ma'ruf Amin supports the Joko Widodo (Jokowi) government for two terms. He doesn't care about Jokowi's poor leadership criticism. Jokowi is considered successful.

Previously, Jokowi again competed in the 2019 presidential election. This condition led to pros and cons. Some consider Jokowi to be the right person. There are also those who think Jokowi's leadership is sufficient. Everything is because Jokowi is considered not optimal as President of Indonesia.

The leadership of Joko Widodo (Jokowi) for the first period was full of twists and turns. However, Jokowi is considered successful in increasing infrastructure development in Indonesia. The presence of this infrastructure confirms Jokowi's commitment to equitable development.

Jokowi did not forget to enforce bureaucratic reform. The goal is that the state civil apparatus can work optimally. This condition is also supported by Jokowi's contribution to support the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in working to arrest corruptors.

The Indonesian people may also be proud. However, that does not mean that Jokowi has escaped criticism and criticism. Jokowi is considered unable to maximize his position as President of Indonesia. This condition can easily be seen by Jokowi giving permission to explore and exploit Indonesia's natural resources.

Indonesia is considered a loss. Jokowi's political opponent, Prabowo Subianto, does not want to lose. He emphasized that Jokowi's leadership made many countries predict that Indonesia would no longer exist in 2030. Prabowo believes his characteristics are visible.

The Indonesian people are silent when their natural resources are taken by foreigners. The Indonesian people are silent when 80 percent of the land of the entire country is controlled by 1 percent of the people. Prabowo also asked the Indonesian people to stop pretending. Jokowi's mistake must be ended so that Indonesia remains on the right track.

But in other countries they have made studies, where the Republic of Indonesia has been declared no longer there in 2030. Bung! They predicted that we are disbanded, our elite feels that 80 percent of the land of all countries is controlled by 1 percent of our people, it's okay. That almost all assets are controlled by 1 percent, nothing.

"That most of our wealth is taken abroad not living in Indonesia, it's okay. This is what destroys our nation, brothers and sisters! The smarter, the smarter the position, the more cheating! The more stealing it is! The more thieves! It's not good for us to talk, but there is no time for us to pretend anymore, "said Prabowo as quoted on the detik.com page, March 19, 2018.

Criticism continues to come to Jokowi. However, that does not mean that support for Jokowi has stopped. Ma'ruf Amin was also at the forefront of supporting Jokowi. The MUI chairman openly supported Jokowi to return to power in the second period on August 1, 2018.

The support given by Ma'ruf is reasonable. Jokowi's programs are considered to have great benefits for the Indonesian people. Mainly for Jokowi's health cards, from the Smart Indonesia Card and the Healthy Indonesia Card.

Ma'ruf praised Jokowi's religious understanding which was quite good. Jokowi did not hesitate to discuss when there were problems that he did not control about religion. Later, Ma'ruf himself was asked to accompany Jokowi in the 2019 presidential election and won.

"First, one period is effective for three years, first is orientation, first year, second year of work, second year of work. The fifth year has been noisy with the presidential election. Even so, even though it was only for three years Jokowi, the results were extraordinary. .

"This success can be seen in the fields of infrastructure, education with cards and many more things. How to control an economy that is affected by global uncertainty. I think the current conditions are very good, because bad global influences can still be minimized," said Ma Ruf Amin as quoted by tribunnews.com, August 1, 2018.
