SEMARANG - In the midst of the current dynamics, Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi appealed to the public to remain calm in responding to the development of the situation and not to be easily provoked.

"We welcome the people of Central Java to maintain conduciveness. Don't be influenced by provocations that actually harm the community," he said, in Semarang, Friday night, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, August 30.

This was conveyed by him in response to the anarchist actions carried out by protesters at the Central Java Provincial Government Office, Friday night, which scorched three cars and canteens.

"We take care of Central Java, which has been good and conducive. We regret this anarchist action, because the canteen is a business owned by the residents," said the former Central Java Police Chief.

He also immediately ordered his staff to clean up the rubble of scattered fires, windows and stones.

"Tonight we are working together. Clean everything so that tomorrow services to the community will not be disrupted," he said.

On the other hand, the Governor of Central Java also expressed deep empathy and concern over the death of online motorcycle taxi driver (ojol) Affan Setiawan during a demonstration in Jakarta

"We express our deepest condolences for the death of the late Affan Kurniawan, and to his family for the tragedy that occurred," he said.

Luthfi again asked the public to remain calm in responding to the turmoil in demonstrations that occurred in order to maintain Central Java's conduciveness.

Previously, the masses, who initially held an action in front of the Central Java Police Headquarters, Semarang, Friday night, burned a number of cars in the courtyard of the Central Java Governor's office.

The crowd pushed in through the back door of the Central Java Governor's office, which is located close to the Central Java Regional Police, by tearing down the gate.

In addition to burning cars with red and black license plates, the masses also damaged a number of cars in the vicinity.
