JAKARTA - Member of the Indonesian Parliament, Arteria Dahlan, finally apologized to the people of West Java, after mentioning the Sundanese language during a working meeting with the Attorney General's Office. Arteria's statement asking the AGO to remove Kajati for speaking Sundanese at the meeting received serious attention from the Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil.

"I sincerely apologize to the people of West Java, especially the Sundanese people for my statement some time ago," said Arteria at the PDIP DPP Office, Menteng, Jakarta, Thursday, January 20.

Arteria's apology was conveyed in front of the Secretary General of the DPP PDIP Hasto Kristiyanto, and the chairman of the DPP PDIP Komarudin Watubun. Arteria regretted his attitude and left this polemic completely to the Party's DPP. "As a Party Cadre, I am ready to accept the sanctions given by the Party. I have learned from this issue, and thank you for all the criticisms given to me, it will certainly be an input for me to do better," said Teri, Arteria's nickname.

The East Java legislator also promised to be more effective in communicating. He admitted that he would focus more on fighting for justice for the community, especially in fighting the drug mafia, land mafia, mining mafia, fertilizer mafia, port/airport/sea mafia, food and fuel mafia, and various other law enforcement efforts. "I will work more silently but achieve the target of law enforcement. Thank you again for all the criticisms and inputs given to me," said Arteria.

Previously, Arteria had refused to apologize because he judged that there was nothing wrong with his statement.

"If I'm wrong, right, obviously, the mechanism is in the MKD. Is my statement wrong?" asked Arteria at the DPR Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 19.

According to Arteria, Indonesia has a democratic culture. So he doesn't have a problem if there are parties who are not happy with his statement.

“But let me also state that. It's a bother, if a member of the DPR suddenly looks like this. We have the mechanism, we have the channels. And I can prove that what I said was not meant to discredit," he said
