"This shop has been attacked four times by motorcycle gangs and I have reported it to the Sunggal Police and Medan Police," Anwar told reporters on Monday, September 20.

"They came with sharp weapons and went straight in and went up to the second floor. I did not join OKP or any other mass organizations. What is clear is that this has happened 4 times and there are no signs that the perpetrators of this motorcycle gang have been caught by the police," said Anwar.

Anwar also admitted to feeling anxious and afraid of the follow-up actions of the youth group. He asked the police to carry out regular patrols so that he was comfortable doing business.
