MEDAN - The Regent of Central Tapanuli, Bakhtiar Ahmad Sibarani participated in responding to the action of the Governor of North Sumatra, Edy Rahmayadi, twisting the ear of the Papua PON coach in billiards. Governor Edy was advised to apologize because the incident had become a national concern.

"It would be more dignified if Governor Edy Rahmayadi apologized to the billiards coach who was humiliated during the delivery of the love ropes", said Bakhtiar Sibarani, quoted by ERA.id on Thursday, December 30.

Bakhtiar suspected that what Governor Edy had done to Khoiruddin Aritonang was just a joke. But the Regent of Tapteng still suggested that the problem with the Billiards coach be straightened out by apologizing.

"I only suggested to Mr. Edy to apologize. Because in my opinion, maybe at the time of the incident Mr. Governor might have joked with the coach, and people judged differently. But if it was immediately straightened out and could say sorry, it would be much wiser. Because people who admit mistakes are far greater than people who are always looking for justification for what they have done", he said.

According to him, as a regional head, he must be a leader to the community. He considered the act of humiliating people not worth showing in society.

Moreover, the person concerned was invited to receive the love rope on that day, of course, the athletes he trained won during the XX Papua PON last.

"As a leader, you must have a chivalrous spirit. I am also a regional head even at level II. There is nothing wrong with apologizing for the behavior we have done. But that is my advice to all return to Pak Edy as the Governor of North Sumatra", said the Tapteng Regent.

Previously, billiard coach Khoiruddin Aritonang alias Choki admitted that he would report Governor Edy Rahmayadi to the police. Choki revealed the chronology of himself being called by Edy Rahmayadi up to the podium while giving a speech at the event.

"I, too, was confused about why he was called, until the question of why you didn't clap when I spoke. I was confused, what should I applaud", said Choki.

He considered the statement conveyed by Governor Edy at that time was quite ordinary. Choki vehemently denies the information that he was reprimanded for falling asleep.
