Regarding the plan from the Governor of West Java, his party is very supportive and grateful if the construction of one village is realized, because it will help facilitate residents affected by the disaster.

"When listening directly to residents' complaints and expectations, KDM asked the Padang City Government (Pemkot) to find land so that it could accommodate residents affected by the disaster," he explained.
