JAKARTA - The Islamic Union Ideological Defense (Shield) mass demonstration was forced to disperse from a demonstration in front of the Singapore Embassy (Embassy) building. This happened after the loudspeaker (TOA) on the sound system of the command car was damaged.

The field coordinator for Ustaz Abdul Somad's Action, Muhammad Senatha said that the sound system used for the speech suddenly failed to function. So they decided to end the demonstration.

"There was a problem with the sound car exploding in the rain so it couldn't start," said Senatha when met at Jalan HR Rasuna Said, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Friday, May 20.

According to VOI, the protesters started leaving the Singapore Embassy on Jalan HR Rasuna Said, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Friday, at 16.15 WIB.

The command car, which was previously parked in front of the Embassy, seems to have left the location. The officers who had previously guarded the security of the action also died at the scene of the action.

Previously, it was reported that the Singapore Embassy, which was located on Jalan HR Rasuna Said, Kuningan, South Jakarta, had been visited by a mass of action from the Defense of the Ideological Union of Islam (Shield). They demanded that the Singapore government apologize for Ustaz Abdul Somad's refusal.

Observations at the location at 14.00 WIB, dozens of masses of the Shield group had already packed the location of the action. Originally, this action took place at 13.00 WIB, but because the rain had just stopped, the action had not yet started.

The crowd that came was also diverse. Some wear religious attributes such as a cap or hijab.
