JAKARTA - The ojol peaceful action in the National Monument (Monas) area, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, September 2, ended sooner than planned.
Hundreds of ojol drivers who have gathered across from the Indonesian National Library on Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan since 13.00 WIB, started the action by distributing flowers to the joint police and TNI officers at 14.00 WIB.
After completing the distribution of flowers to the security forces, the public, and the media crew, the protesters chose to rest for a while while eating the food distributed by the committee.
However, the plan for the convoy that was previously planned was decided not to be carried out. The crowd canceled visiting Mako Brimob, Central Jakarta Metro Police, Central Jakarta Kodim, North Jakarta Metro Police, and East Jakarta Metro Police.

"And after this, we can disperse, and we can do our usual activities, become heroes for our families and loved ones," said Billy Kurniawan, an ojol driver who acts as a committee, while speaking to the crowd.
At 16.00 WIB, the protesters slowly left Medan Merdeka Selatan and returned to their jobs.
To the media crew, Billy explained, the decision to cancel the convoy was taken for the safety of the crowd who attended.
"So indeed we have started the action first, we share flowers, and we are not in the convoy for our safety as well," he said.
Furthermore, regarding the case of Affan Kurniawan's death, the ojol driver who died after being hit by a Brimob rantis car, Billy stated that the crowd agreed to leave it entirely to the legal process.
"Until now, like the news we are monitoring together, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr. Prabowo, has also ordered to investigate thoroughly and fairly. And we ojol, maybe many associations or communities or in whatever form, the point is the same, we will oversee the case of Affan, our brothers, as fairly as possible," he said.
