JAKARTA - A number of officers handling Public Infrastructure and Facilities (PPSU) of Ancol Village, Pademangan District, North Jakarta carried out a strike to throw a broom at Jalan Lodan Raya.

The PPSU of Ancol Village has been on strike since this morning because they were annoyed several times when they received "poor" ridicule from Ancol Village Head Saud Maruli Manik and Ancol Village Secretary Kenny Hutagaol.

Clarifying this, Saud Maruli Manik emphasized that it was only a joke of intimacy to his subordinates.

"Not insulting, just joking, joking. How, joke between father and son, or between friends. So, there is no language," Saud said when contacted, Monday, February 19.

From the PPSU statement, they admitted that they were offended by Saud's words such as " poor PPSU is prohibited from smoking". However, Saud emphasized that the statement was being twisted. He also clarified the statement disclosed during the PPSU development rally in Ancol Village.

"In coaching, I say 'for PPSU who smoke, so they don't smoke anymore, it's better if the money is saved than burned, later poor. It's better to give it to his wife's children'," said Saud.

Saud also explained the situation when the Ancol Village Secretary (Sekkel) mocked "poor" PPSU who did not have money to redeem cheap food purchases in the DKI Provincial Government program.

"When they were collected, it turned out that they didn't have money. So Mr. Secretary of State came, 'where, where to pay this'. Answered 'there is no (money), sir'. 'Very poor? Yes, borrowed (money?) yes'. That's it," said Saud.

Saud said the Ancol area today became more dirty than usual. This is because the environmental cleaning work was not carried out by PPSUs who went on strike.

"If that's the impact, even if they are active, if it's dirty it's always there, it's only possible because no one is holding it. I'm trying to do this, as soon as possible I will ask the Department of Environment to help," he said.

Furthermore, Saud said that his party was waiting for the arrival of PPSU which went on strike to resolve the problem in a dialogue.

"In fact, I ask for the firmness of this PPSU, if they all want to resign, maybe I will report it to the leadership. But don't let it happen, because they have children, wives. Now it's difficult to find food," he added.
