JAKARTA - Baskara Putra, or Indies is one of the musicians who has been aggressively voicing opinions through his work. In addition, he also responded quite loudly to sensitive issues on social media.

He once echoed a number of problems, including those related to government. One of the latest is related to data leakage which makes millions of Indonesian public data accessed by hackers.

Baskara made the next big step, namely by giving calls in public spaces. Recently he gave a code for the state official to resign from his position.

In one of the stage actions, the Indies displayed a big article, 'MUNDUR'. He also included footage of the official's interview that underestimated the national data leak.

The voice of a musician as part of a citizen certainly has an important role. Things that deserve to be corrected from the state should be conveyed openly for evaluation.

Moreover, the Indies has massive listeners, so it is a strength for the people to demand justice. Music works then carry out roles as conveyers of messages and changes for the better.
