Mr. Jokowi! Element Drummer Didi Riyadi Rejects Extension Of Emergency PPKM

JAKARTA - Element drummer Didi Riyadi wrote an open letter to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) regarding emergency PPKM. Didi Riyadi refused to extend the Java-Bali emergency PPKM.

"I am of the opinion that I reject the extension of the Java-Bali emergency PPKM," said Didi Riyadi, Thursday, July 15.

Didi Riyadi has a number of reasons for refusing to extend the Emergency PPKM.

"It's simple, sir, it is certain that many will be affected, especially with regard to the stomach, many cannot work, cannot provide for their families," he said.

In fact, continued Didi Riyadi, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses have gone out of business, employees have been fired or layoffs. The main thing, according to him, is that all types of PSBB terms to emergency PPKM are not able to soak COVID-19 anyway.

Didi Riyadi, who was once rumored to be close to Ayu Ting Ting, proposed a friendly emergency PPKM. Friendly means siding with the lower middle class.

"If the results of the emergency PPKM in Java and Bali from July 3 to 20, 2021, do not have a significant impact and correlate with a decrease in COVID cases, then please consider, evaluate policy strategies, and coordination between institutions," he said.

"Massive socialization and education about handling those exposed to COVID-19 and a healthy lifestyle to fight COVID-19," added Didi Riyadi.
