JAKARTA - Special Staff to the Minister of State Secretariat Faldo Maldini said President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) did not bother with insults against him. He said that President Jokowi is more afraid that he will not be able to complete his work optimally than he cares about insults and insults.

This was conveyed by Faldo in response to the netizen's statement with the Twitter account @pawletariat which said that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) was suitable for wearing traditional Baduy clothes while carrying honey and squatting at the intersection.

"The president never worries about insults from people, especially from the Indonesian people he loves. He (President Jokowi, ed.) is more afraid of not being able to complete his work optimally," Faldo told VOI, Wednesday, August 18.

According to him, all citizens do have freedom of opinion. However, the protection of the rights of others must still be considered so that the Indonesian nation is not divided.

Faldo also asked all parties to further strengthen the attitude of statesmen so that neither side would bring each other down. "You may not like it, you can hate it but we are all children of Mother Earth. We cannot deny that fact," he said.

Furthermore, he said that President Jokowi at that time chose the traditional Baduy clothing for no reason. According to him, the former governor of DKI Jakarta wants to show diversity in the country.

Thus, racist comments such as those conveyed by the @pawletariat account are deemed inappropriate and inappropriate. "We should be proud of the colors of our diversity, not discredit each other," said Faldo.

"Don't think that I or my clothes are the best, the most valuable, or the ones that can best represent the face of Indonesia. That's not the era anymore," he added.

Previously, the Twitter account @pawletariat tweeted that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) was suitable for wearing traditional Baduy clothing during his state speech on Monday, August 16. However, at the end of his tweet, he thought that Jokowi would be suitable to wear the shirt to squat at the intersection and sell honey.

This tweet then provoked the anger of netizens because it was considered insulting to the Baduy Tribe. Later, the owner of the account was identified as M Bernie who worked as a journalist in an online media.
