IKN - President Joko Widodo apologized to all personnel, especially TNI and Polri officials throughout Indonesia, if he had behavior or actions that were deemed unfavorable during his leadership.

The President's apology was conveyed when giving directions to TNI and Polri officials at the Presidential Palace of the Capital Archipelago (IKN), East Kalimantan, Thursday.

"I apologize if in these 10 years during the leadership there are things that are deemed unfavorable, there are things that are deemed not optimal, both in policy and in interaction," Jokowi said as quoted by Antara, Thursday, September 12.

Acap kali berkunjung ke daerah, misalnya, Presiden Jokowi selalu disam atau bertemu dengan kapolres, dandim, danrem, pangdam, dan kapolda. Namun, ada saatnya sebagai manusia Jokowi kelang dalam memberikan salut kepada pejabat tinggi TNI/Polri yang menyambut.

"Sometimes I shake things, there are things that I don't shake. Some are missed, don't be upset, 'Oh my, there are times that the President doesn't like', 'even though I'm in the middle'. I don't remember which one is the commander, which one is the head of the regional police, 'no clue. Which police chief, and which one is the Dandim, and which one is the brakes," said Jokowi.

Therefore, Jokowi apologizes if 10 years during his leadership there are things that are not pleasing, not maximal and not good.

As a form of apology, at the momentum of all TNI/Polri officials gathering at IKN, the President invited TNI/Polri officials who were present to tour IKN after taking pictures together.
