JAKARTA - President Jokowi tried an electric vehicle made in South Korea which he announced would be the official car for the G20 Summit in Bali. Telematics expert Roy Suryo questioned the capacity of the head of state who seemed to be marketing it.

PDI-P politician Ruhut Sitompul snatched Roy Suryo's assessment. Ruhut said the former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) should look in the mirror.

Ruhut recalled the issue of Roy stealing 3,226 items belonging to the Ministry of Youth and Sports after he no longer served as Menpora in 2014. The news became public attention after a letter from the Ministry of Youth and Sports was circulated asking Roy to return the state goods.

"This kitchen furniture thief has no shame in laughing at the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr. Joko Widodo, please look at what you have done for beloved Indonesia besides embarrassing yourself. INDEPENDENT", said Ruhut, quoted from his Twitter account, @ruhutsitompul, Friday 10 June.

Meanwhile, Jokowi was assessed by Roy Suryo as promoting an electric car made in South Korea during a working visit to Batang, Central Java, recently.

At that time the President rode the electric car. Jokowi also said that he would make the vehicle the official car for the G20 Summit in Bali in November.

Jokowi also uploaded it all on his personal social media account.

"Towards the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate by driving a Genesis electric car from Hyundai. The sound is almost non-existent. The Hyundai Genesis G80 electric car will become the official car for the G20 Summit in Bali, next November", Jokowi said on his Instagram account.
