MAKASSAR - The Mayor of Makassar, Moh Ramdhan Pomanto (Danny Pomanto), visited the house of his resident, one of the cargo crew members belonging to Saudi Arabia, Surya Hidayat Pratama after learning that his citizens were being held hostage by the Yemeni Al Houthi militia.
"Prayers a lot for Mr. Surya's safety. I am sure the country will not remain silent if its citizens are taken hostage abroad", Pomanto said while talking to Hidayat's wife and parents on Cenderawasih Street, Makassar, quoted by Antara on Monday, January 10.
Danny Pomanto said that his presence at the victim's house was received by Pratama's wife, Sri Rahayu, to provide moral support to stay strong and pray for the safety of all the hostages.
"I came to Mr. Surya's house, a victim of hostage-taking in Yemen. We visited his father, his wife, his mother, his extended family. We came here to provide support. God willing, the country will not remain silent", he said.

Danny Pomanto supports the family and is ready if the victim's family needs any assistance and seeks all possible information lines that can connect to ensure the current condition of the sun.
He also believes that the central government will not remain silent because this is not the first time this has happened in Indonesia.
"But it has happened many times and Alhamdulillah, the central government has succeeded in freeing the hostages who have been part of the international hostage-taking process, in this case, Indonesia", he said.
Danny Pomanto also hopes that all Makassar residents will join in praying for the victims so that they can safely return to their homeland.
"We hope that he will be patient and continue to pray. I ask the people of Makassar to pray that Surya, who is currently in a hostage status, will receive God's protection and be given freedom and God willing, we will all be patien", he said.
Previously, a cargo ship belonging to Saudi Arabia was taken hostage by Yemen's Al Houthi militia for carrying ammunition.
