President Jokowi in his remarks closing the Golkar/PHOTO National Conference: Nailin In Saroh-VOI

JAKARTA - President Jokowi spoke about the yellow shirt worn while attending the closing of the Golkar National Conference at JCC, Jakarta. Jokowi admitted to respecting Golkar the owner of the celebration.

"Ladies and gentlemen, once again, someone may ask why you wear yellow clothes, why? Anyone can answer, I give you a bicycle. Yes, the clothes are adjusted, the clothes I wear are in honor of those who have the event, namely the Golkar Party, don't go anywhere first," Jokowi said in his closing remarks at the Golkar National Conference, Wednesday, August 21.

Jokowi said he was happy to attend the Golkar National Conference. The reason is that the party bearing the banyan tree symbol has a big contribution to Indonesia's progress.

"When I see a banyan tree, the luggage is cool, the luggage is cool. Especially during the day, which is hot, it is hot, if under the banyan tree the luggage is cool," said Jokowi.

The President also praised Golkar as a party open to anyone. Jokowi mentioned one by one the names of the Golkar chairman from time to time.

"We will see the history of the chairman of Golkar from anywhere, from Java Pak Agung Laksono, Setya Novanto, Airlangga, from Sumatra Mr. Aburizal Bakrie, Akbar Tandjung from Central Tapanuli, there are also from Sulawesi Mr. Jusuf Kalla, Makassar and now the ketum is now from Papua," said Jokowi.

"This means that the Golkar Party is very Indonesian, and don't forget that tonight I wore yellow. Golkar's pluralism is really very well maintained, very harmonious, which in my opinion makes Golkar more shady than others," he said.
