BANDUNG - Arifin Panigoro's body was buried in South Jakarta today. The Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, admitted that he had been entrusted with a message by the member of the presidential advisory council.

The man who is familiarly called Kang Emil conveyed this when he visited Arifin Panigoro's funeral home on Jalan Madrasah II, South Jakarta, Tuesday, March 8.

"Mr. Arifin's last message to me was more about the health sector, yes, about tuberculosis about how to invite science in formulating policies," said Ridwan.

Ridwan came to the funeral home wearing a black cap and black batik and still wearing his trademark mask with a mega cloudy pattern.

He did not forget to pray for the deceased and the bereaved family to be given fortitude. Arifin Panigoro passed away on February 28 at around 03.29 WIB.

When met after the funeral, quoted from Antara, Ridwan Kamil, with tears in his eyes, said that the late Arifin Panigoro was also very concerned about the issue of renewable energy.

Therefore, before he died, he had given his trust so that his office could be occupied by the Indonesian Renewable Energy Organization (ADMPET) chaired by Ridwan Kamil.

"He also pays attention to renewable energy issues and even lent his office to us, an Indonesian renewable energy organization," he said.

Therefore, Ridwan admitted that he would fight for the ideals of the deceased in fighting for policies in the field of health and renewable energy.

"So maybe in terms of what I did from the personal experience of the two things above, I will dedicate these initiatives as his memory," he concluded.
