JAKARTA - Secretary General of the National Movement to Guard Fatwa (GNPF) Ulama Edy Mulyadi apologized for the statement "Kalimantan is a place for genies to dispose of children." Edy said the term is commonly used by residents of Jakarta to describe a remote location.

This was conveyed by Edy through his Youtube channel, @BANG EDY CHANNEL, reported by VOI, Monday, January 24. "I'm really sorry to want to be considered, I'm still sorry. The only thing I said in the context of where the genie dumped the child was to describe a remote, remote location. If my friends in Kalimantan feel disturbed, insulted, I apologize," said Eddy.

Edy said that not only Kalimantan, but for Jakarta alone, there are several locations that used to be called places for genies to dispose of children. For example, in the National Monument (Monas) area, Central Jakarta, or BSD in the 1980-90s.

"So the place where the genie throws the child is a common term. I don't know if my friends have any motivation to try to play this issue, but even so I want to say that I'm sorry," explained Edy.

"But I'm still sorry that what I said earlier was considered offensive that we are here in Jakarta, especially a very general term as there are several areas that are culturally common. I want to say that the place where genies throw their children for me in Jakarta specifically describes a place that is far away or has nothing to do with it. demeaning interpretations and so on," explained Edy.

Edy conveyed the statement from Kalimantan where the genie dumped the child through the Youtube channel @MimbarTube. At first, Edy mentioned that the government sold office buildings in strategic locations such as in Sudirman, Thamrin and so on. The proceeds from the sale of this building will be used as a cost for moving the capital city.

"The government buildings in Jakarta, in Kuningan, Sudirman Thamrin, were sold to finance the move to the new capital and the money was lacking. Then earlier, our government, ministry offices and institutions will be renting out. Can you understand this or not? there is an elite place, owns it, which is expensive, has its own building and then sold it to a place where the genie dumped the child and then rented it," said Edy in the video at 17.32 minutes.

Edy called this an unreasonable act. how is it possible, exclusive government offices in Jakarta are sold to rent new offices or buildings in Kalimantan. In addition to buildings and offices, Edy also mentioned who will move to Kalimantan? Edy claimed that the capital's ASN were also lazy to go to Kalimantan.

"There are 182 thousand hectares there, you know. If the people live there, who builds the housing, what does it build...Those people, business people, when they build housing they will ask who bought it, whose market is it, if the market is kuntilanak genderuwo it's okay to wake up there," said Edy.

To support his argument, Edy then asked the man sitting on the left. Do you want to move to Kalimantan from where you currently live? The man said no!

"Who wants to live in Gunung Sahari, move to Penajam, Kalimantan there to buy a house there, I want to be a resident of the new capital city or not," said Edy. Now at the moment of this speech, the man on Edy's left said "Only monkeys (who want to move to Kalimantan, ed)"
