Reminding Reward Of Rob Flood In Semarang, Megawati: If It's The Same As Subordinates, Dare Me!

JAKARTA - PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri rebuked Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo regarding tidal flooding in Semarang due to rising sea levels. He reminded his cadres to fix the area on the seafront.

"At first glance, I saw that there was Pak Ganjar. If you are still listening to me, well, that's right from the start you just made me (governor, ed) I've already told you wlah wleh wlah wleh about the Semarang Port and so on," Mega said in his virtual speech at the launch of the Geo-Hydrometeorology Multi Hazard Early Warning System held by the PDIP DPP, Wednesday, August 4.

Megawati dared to reprimand him because Ganjar was one of his subordinates who was a PDIP cadre. Of course, this kind of warning will not be conveyed to other regional heads because he is reluctant to be considered as interfering.

"I'm with my subordinates, I'm wani (dare I). But if it's with others, sorry, what will I be considered later,' he said.

In addition, Megawati also brought up the prediction made by American President Joe Biden that Jakarta would sink within 10 years.

Biden made this statement before the leaders of intelligence services in the US on 27 July. The number one person in Uncle Sam's country said that Jakarta was in danger of sinking due to climate change that was engulfing the world.

According to Megawati, all policy makers must find a way out of this problem. Central and regional connectivity is needed because the regional authority is limited.

"See, what about Semarang. Because I said, why is it that the tidal waves cry all the time (when there is a flood, the tidal waves will cry). Nope. But it can't be done if the regional authority only ends there," he said.

"It means that connectivity has to go to the center. That's what I said earlier, all the authority holders in this republic, let's look for initiatives so that we don't say it's good that we will sink in 10 years. Astagfirullah, I'm confused, you know," added the President. 5 RI.
