Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko is at the Press Council, Jakarta, Wednesday 27 December (Special)

JAKARTA - Presidential Chief of Staff, General TNI (Ret.) Dr. Moeldoko opened his voice regarding his report to the Press Council regarding the coverage of a national magazine entitled Beking Wuling Electric Cars''. Where in the report mentioned Moeldoko as the Chief of Presidential Staff intervening the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) to accommodate the illegal Wuling electric car battery charging apparatus. According to Moeldoko, the steps taken were part of democracy as well as the submission of objections to the news made by the national magazine. This is because the writing of the opinion is a form of journalistic arrogance. In addition, the opinion written written by the national magazine clearly directs its readers. I see the cover of Tempo magazine and the opinion written is a form of journalistic arrogance, even leading to brutal, tendentsius and independence loss, said Moeldoko at the Office of the Press Council, Jakarta, Wednesday 27 December. On that occasion, Moeldoko did his right to answer related to the national magazine's news regarding the implementation of the implementation of the use of electric cars in Indonesia which was fully reported with conflicts of interest. Responding to this, Moeldoko has conveyed in his interview to the national magazine that there are three regulations that underlie this, namely Presidential Decree No. 83/2019, Presidential Decree No. 79/2023 and President No.7/2022.' It seems that Tempo considers this transformation program to be trivial, not an important matter, added''. In addition, Moeldoko revealed other reasons for reporting national magazines to the Press Council, because he wanted to provide clarity regarding Periclindo's application letter to the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources related to the charger GB/T. The letter asked that the charger of GB/T could get SNI. Moeldoko added that he never used any position or other position to suppress the Indonesian magazine's interview because Wuling users were quite massive in Indonesia, namely reaching 20,000 users. This is a request not pressing. On the other hand, I am the chief staff bound by the regulation of electric cars also to save Ulling users who reach 20,000. I ask the SNI to be a SNI for the community to survive,' Moeld

"Therefore, I complain about my objections through the Press Council so that this case can be resolved properly. I also understand that the public hopes that Tempo can become a critical medium as previously known," concluded Moeldoko. Previously, Moeldoko submitted a Complaint of Journalistic Code of Ethics Violations conducted by Tempo Magazine to the Press Council regarding the cover and opinion of Tempo magazine print edition 25-31 December 2023 with the cover of Beking Wuling Electric Car. According to Moeldoko, the news is detrimental because it does not meet the working principles and journalistic code of ethics, with most of the content cornered.
