JAKARTA - The candidate for governor of Jakarta, Ridwan Kamil, explained the cause of the current decline in people's purchasing power. Online gambling is one of them.

According to him, the money that should be used to buy daily necessities is actually used to become capital for gambling.

"Why did purchasing power go down? Because earlier, the money that should be made for rice, made fruits, was transferred to online gambling," said Ridwan Kamil, quoted on Saturday, October 19.

In fact, online gambling only makes people even more difficult. A big advantage is just lying.

However, people don't seem to care. Many are addicted to online gambling and don't think about using good money for the sustainability of their lives

"Online gambling is the mode after 3-4 times the rest of the game was won by Diporotin, this is what they don't understand, this is targeting the lower middle," he said.

Therefore, Ridwan Kamil asked the parties, including scholars, to help fight online gambling practices. The trick is to give views when speaking in various places.

In addition, the man who is often called Kang Emil will look for legal grounds and other policies to eradicate online gambling practices.

"I am the permission of the scholars, if I am elected later, for two years we are looking for articles that fight the road, that's a bit worried. That's why I have interest-free credit, to fight the loan," said Ridwan Kamil.
