JAKARTA - Chairman of the Regional Leadership Council of the DKI Jakarta Indonesian Solidarity Party (DPW PSI) Michael Victor Sianipar asked Governor Anies Baswedan and West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil to share the moment of eating porridge not to be associated with the politics of the 2024 presidential election.
"The recent meeting between Mr. Anies and Mr. Ridwan Kamil has a context, namely related to the preparations for the G20. I don't think it needs to be related to politics," Michael said, quoted by Antara, Friday, February 25.
Incidentally, said Michael, both are governors of a large and strategic province in Indonesia whom President Joko Widodo has trusted to host for a series of G20 events, namely Urban 20 (U20) and Youth 20 (Y20).
In fact, according to him, the two of them must work together to carry out state duties.
"So it's only natural that there are many meetings and preparatory meetings. Yes, if for state events the two of them work together, I think they should," he said.
Trust in the two provinces holding a series of G20 events, he said, should be a big responsibility because it brings the nation's good name.
"We all elements of society must also work together to prepare Indonesia to host the G20. These leaders, both Ministers and Governors, including Pak Anies and Pak Ridwan, must indeed show statesmanship in working together and collaborating for the G20," he said.
Previously, West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil invited DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to enjoy one of the places selling chicken porridge in Bandung City, Thursday, February 24.
Both of them ordered the same food menu, namely chicken porridge, cakwe, ati ampela, and egg complete with chips.
According to Emil, Ridwan Kamil's greeting, while eating porridge he and Anies discussed several things. It's not a political issue, but foods such as chips, liver gizzards, and bottled tea drinks.
"Talk about emping, talk about bottled tea, talk about liver gizzard," said Emil.
The chosen chicken porridge is PR Chicken Porridge on Jalan Homan. This is Emil's regular chicken porridge since serving as Mayor of Bandung.
The two of them also ate porridge accompanied by Ganjar Noor, a musician from Bandung who performed several songs.
