JAKARTA - The chairman of the DPR and the Chairperson of the PDIP DPP Puan Maharani wore yellow batik during a visit to the residence of the 10th Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla on Jalan Brawijaya, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, this afternoon. Puan admitted that this was a signal that she would join other senior Golkar Party members. However, he did not mention who the seniors were. "It could be (meeting other Golkar seniors, ed)," said Puan in Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta, Wednesday, October 4. Apart from being a senior banyan party, Puan also considers JK as a parent who is often asked for his opinion regarding politics and the national economy. Even the former Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture admitted that he learned a lot from the vice presidents of the era of President SBY and President Jokowi. "So this is the arrival of me meeting Mr. JK not only because he is a senior Golkar, but indeed like family and many things I got knowledge from Mr. JK," said Puan. "Earlier I asked frankly, 'What are your views on the latest politics?' For example, that's how he made it clear, it was long and it was an input for me who still had to learn a lot in this world of politics," he added.

Not only that, but Puan also invited JK to support women entering politics. Puan even considers JK's wife, Mufidah Kalla, like her own mother. "Of course I tell Mr. JK 'Sir, sir, we have to be enthusiastic about supporting women'. Because Mr. JK has four sons and one daughter, how many grandchildren are mothers? There are eight," said Puan. "This means that I am part of Pak JK's family, so I add half. So when I come here, I usually ask my mother, ‘bu, I want to eat at the house of Mrs.’ because it's like family," he said.
