JAKARTA - Member of the DKI DPRD from the PDIP faction, Ima Mahdiah, reminded the DKI Jakarta MUI not to get involved in political affairs with the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

The statement from the former staff of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) is related to the plan to form a cyber team or MUI cyber army to ward off buzzer attacks on Anies on social media.

"In my opinion, it is not wise when the MUI, which should be the forum, becomes the governor's practical politics. Don't get involved in practical politics," said Ima when met at the DKI DPRD Building, Monday, November 22.

Ima said, MUI is a forum for Islamic organizations. Instead of participating in political clashes, it is better for MUI to provide mental guidance to the citizens of the capital who have been polarized into certain groups.

Moreover, he said, the dissemination of program socialization and clarification of the accusations addressed to Anies by the buzzers were the tasks of each line of DKI Provincial Government Work Units (SKPD).

"Every agency must have a budget to promote, to provide information about the achievements of the DKI Provincial Government. So, there is no need to double up with MUI," said Ima.

Ima warned that there should be no public opinion that the cyber army was formed thanks to a grant from the DKI Provincial Government to DKI Jakarta MUI in the amount of Rp. 10.2 billion in 2022.

"The DKI Jakarta MUI will also receive a grant from the provincial government. Yes, even though this statement has nothing to do with grants. But the portion, whatever grants that have been given, should have been a mandate from the citizens' tax money, it should be returned to the citizens. Instead of participating in practical politics, " said Ima.

As previously reported, the DKI Jakarta Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) through the Information and Communications Sector (Infokom) held a Coordination Meeting for the Information and Communications Sector throughout DKI Jakarta.

One of the decisions of the coordination meeting was to conduct a massive defense of the Governor of DKI Anies Baswedan when he was attacked by a hoax by a buzzer.

At that time, the General Chair of the DKI Jakarta MUI KH Munahar Muchtar Munahar also hoped that Infokom and the DKI MUI extended family would be able to defend and assist the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Rasyid Baswedan, who has worked hard for the people of the capital.

If the buzzers look for Anies' mistakes, Infokom is asked to immediately play the narrative of Anies' success, both nationally and internationally.

"He is one of the 21 heroes of the world. For the news, I asked the DKI MUI to appoint it because we are partners with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government,” said Munahar.

After being widely discussed, Munahar emphasized that the cyber team he formed would only help Anies. Other Jakarta clerics deemed to be performing well and then being attacked by buzzers will also be defended.

"Is it for Mr. Anies only? No. If there is a Jakarta figure, he acts for the citizens of Jakarta, then the benefit is good for the citizens of Jakarta, MUI is ready to support and support and cooperate," said Munahar.
