"If I have to really check whether people are not healthy, people are not sane. Do not be insane, your response is all out," said Bahtiar at the Ministry of Home Affairs office, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Friday, January 17.

Before saying these people were insane, Bahtiar admitted that he had watched a viral video that made the Keraton Agung Sejagat famous. As for the phenomenon of the emergence of the Sunda Empire, he did not know more fully but asked the police to immediately investigate the activity.

"At first this was going to be wrapped up by mass organizations, then, there were activities that were strongly suspected of being in the form of violations of criminal law. Well, we just wait and entrust it to the police," he said.

Should it be convicted?

According to him, the phenomenon of confessions like this occurs because many people are hallucinating. So, the public should not give a damn if there are no criminal acts committed by these people.

"Now a lot of people are embarrassed. We only have two choices. Come to worship him as king or ignore him. Just ignore someone like that. Yes, you don't need to be arrested. Halu people are arrested," he said, adding that something like this could actually be possible. become a distraction from other important issues nationally.

"There are many other problems that need our attention more than problems like this. This is really a distraction. This is part of entertainment for me," he concluded.
