JK: DPR Members Don't Talk About Insulting The People

JAKARTA - Former Vice President Jusuf Kalla (JK) conveyed a special message to officials and representatives of the people to exercise restraint and filter out every word and action.

"This is a big lesson. Officials, members of the DPR to exercise restraint. Don't just talk about insulting and hurting people's hearts," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, August 29.

JK reminded the government to jointly maintain conducive conditions. JK is worried that if it happens continuously it will affect the lives of all parties.

"We hope that the government can take good policies for the community. We must listen to complaints and aspirations of the community and protect the community," said JK.

JK also expressed his condolences for the death of online motorcycle taxi driver (ojek online/ojol) Affan Kurniawan during a demonstration in Jakarta, Thursday (28/8) night.

"In today's situation, of course, we express our deep condolences for the death of Affan Kurniawan," said JK as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, August 29.

JK also asked the police to try and take firm action against members involved in the incident or the party who caused the death of Affan Kurniawan.

"Hopefully this can be conveyed properly that all those who are guilty must be given commensurate, tough action," he said.

JK invites all people to refrain from facing the current situation. The reason is, if this extends, it will have direct consequences for the lives of the Indonesian people.

"If the city is volatile like this, then the economic life will stop. This can have long consequences," said JK.
