JAKARTA - Jokowi Mania Volunteer (JoMan) responded to the statement by the Chairman of the Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Agency (BP2MI) Benny Rhamdani when meeting President Joko Widodo at a volunteer event held in Senayan, last weekend. Chairman (Ketum) Jokowi Mania (JoMan), Immanuel Ebenezer or Noel, questioned Jokowi's volunteers who were still thinking about the effects of the 2019 presidential election. In fact, according to him, the government will also change soon. "Tomorrow changes the regime, what do you want to change the president, what do you want? I don't understand these people. It's more appropriate for them to look for it face to face or want to gross Jokowi's last power or what, I don't understand," said Noel, Monday, November 28. Noel assessed that Jokowi's campaign period was over. So there is no need to fight on the field like what Benny asked Jokowi to do. "The campaign has been completed, it's still like war, it's really not civilized," he said. Noel claimed to know Benny. However, he considered, as an official Benny should not speak to Jokowi like that because it could threaten democracy. "Yes, that's my friend, that's Benny Rhamdani, Head of BP2MI. Actually, officials can't say that, it's dangerous," said Noel. Noel agreed with Benny about law enforcement for spreading false news or hoaxes against President Jokowi and his government. However, he did not agree with the term "attack in the field" if law enforcement did not work, moreover, an official said. "You can't use words of war or anything, it's not very educational. Moreover, this is not a situation in a campaign situation like that. If you want to talk about law enforcement, we agree. But it's not appropriate to talk like that to the President, like he just wants to fight, what kind of war is this nation?," explained Noel. Therefore, Noel emphasized that President Jokowi must be guarded from volunteers who can plunge and eliminate the authority of the head of state. "This president must be guarded so that the president I love will not let the president I love even later in the end, not softlanding, even rich, not good, we don't want to," said Noel. "So, yes, volunteers who insult and look for the face of the President, just take care of the president, don't make fun of it or don't force it, don't abuse it too much," he added. Previously, Head of BP2MI Benny Rhamdani, explained about his words recorded in a viral video regarding his aspirations to President Joko Widodo that volunteers would fight in the field against attackers and government insulters. According to him, this step is an illustration if law enforcement does not work. "It's just a picture, an illustration, that if law enforcement doesn't work, our intimacy and anger can be done in this way (attacking on the field). How come we can't go down to the streets? That's just a message, but what we are pushing is law enforcement," said Benny, Monday, November 28. Even so, Benny assessed that the video clips circulating did not show a complete statement. He said, conveying aspirations to Jokowi was also not a closed meeting. "So it's not a closed event, but I'm sure the video is an incomplete video. If it's intact, it should be the whole thing, from the first to the finish in approximately 40 minutes. It should be published in full and conveying aspirations, views of problems, suggestions, suggestions, to the president. Not only me, "said Benny. According to Benny, although the Jokowi government has shortcomings, criticize not to be too late so that it attacks. For example, he said, slandering the government, throwing hate speech, pitting ethnic groups and religions, spreading false news, even defaming the name of the president and first lady. "We highlight this national journey. This is no longer a criticism, look at the ways they have done so far, efforts to delegitize, bring down government. Always with the same pattern, spread of hatred, slander, fighting between tribes and religions, hoax news and even insults and defamation of the symbols of the state, president, nation's capital," explained Benny. Therefore, Benny emphasized, so that attacks on the government are no longer repeated, law enforcement is necessary for the perpetrators. Because, according to him, if political grudges are allowed to arise due to the presidential election, there will be more in the future. "It keeps repeating itself, this is a deadly machine that continues to be produced, what we are capturing cannot be separated from the political grudges that were formed after the 2019 presidential election," he said. "This country is not allowed with the dream of 275 million children to be more advanced, damaged by a group of people who have never moved on and then held a formalized grudge and continued to try to bring down the government in a misguided way," added Benny.
