Allegedly Triggering Public Anger, Uya Kuya And Eko Patrio Are Advised To Resign From The People's Representatives
JAKARTA Political communication expert, Hendri Satrio suggested, two members of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the National Mandate Party Eko Patrio and Uya Kuya resigned as representatives of the people.
"Currently, their nationalism is being tested. They should listen to the people by resigning from their seats, or forever there will continue to be a situation like today, actions everywhere," he said, Sunday, August 31, 2025.
According to him, the recent series of actions and riots is the culmination of the failure of public communication by officials. As a result, the level of public trust continues to decline, not only in the DPR but also in the administration of President Prabowo Subianto.
The founder of the KedaiKOPI Survey Institute also reminded other DPR members to always be careful in conveying political messages so that statements that trigger controversy or public anger do not repeat themselves.
"Especially if people say unwanted words, it's too much. So, this can be a lesson for others so that they don't communicate carelessly to the public," he added.

Hensat yakin, para anggota legislatif yang telah memicu kekisruhan ini memahami situasi genting yang sedang terjadi. Karena itu, dia menyarankan agar mereka kembali ke profesi awal mereka yang telah membesarkan nama mereka.
“Ini sekadar saran, demi bangsa dan negara. Sahroni adalah pengusaha sukses sebelumnya, sementara Eko, dan Uya juga selebriti sukses. Mungkin lebih baik kembali saja ke profesi sebelumnya, dan saya yakin sekarang mereka paham akan situasinya,” kata dia.

Hensat believes that the members of the legislature who have sparked this confusion understand the precarious situation that is happening. Therefore, he suggested that they return to their initial profession which had raised their names.
This is just a suggestion, for the sake of the nation and state. Sahroni is a successful businessman before, while Eko and Uya are also successful celebrities. Maybe it's better to just go back to the previous profession, and I'm sure they understand the situation now," he said.
