MAKASSAR - Candidate for Mayor of Makassar serial number 3 Syamsu Rizal (Deng Ical) posted a photo of Jusuf Kalla (JK) while posing three fingers. Deng Ical said he put up the photo because JK was a public figure.
JK's photo was posted as Deng Ical's Instagram profile photo. In the photo, JK is wearing batik and showing three fingers.
"I put a photo, there is a photo, that's why I put it up, he is a public figure, he helps me," said Deng Ical, confirmed by VOI, Monday, November 9.
Previously, the team of the candidate pair for mayor and vice mayor of Makassar Munafri Arifuddin-Abdul Rahman Bando emphasized JK's support for the pair number two in the Makassar Pilkada.
"Pak JK clearly and firmly conveyed his testimony of support during the Appi-Rahman declaration last August. If Deng Ical posts a certain photo, that's his right," said Fadli Noor, Saturday, November 7.
For the political expert at the University of Bosowa (Unibos) Makassar, Arif Wicaksono, said that the game of symbols in political contestation is natural.
"Biasaji, the game of symbols so there might be a demand, the need for Dg Ical to use a symbol with the number 3, maybe if the question is? Then Dg Ical and Pak JK are both in PMI, so it's only natural that it's like that," he said.
But Arif asked why Deng Ical had just posted a photo of JK in the past few days.
"This will make people think again, don't let Dengg Ical already know how much strength he actually has, so Mr. JK is only now using it for that," he concluded.
The senior political figure Jusuf Kalla (JK) expressed his support for the Appi-Rahman candidate pair in the Makassar Pilkada. Munafri, who is also JK's nephew, is considered the most fitting to lead the largest city in Eastern Indonesia.
"Makassar City, the largest city in Eastern Indonesia, is very important in handling Makassar. Therefore (it must) be led by a good mayor who knows the problem," said JK in his video statement.
Not only does he understand the root of the problems that must be resolved in Makassar City, the mayor according to JK must have experience in the business field. Because connectivity between regional leadership and business to ensure investment in the regions is very necessary.
"Because it takes a good relationship with a good entrepreneurial ability. Therefore, I also hope that Appi, who is running as a candidate for mayor, I am sure that I will be able to appoint Makassar to take a good role for the advancement of all of us. That is the hope of all of us, "said JK.
