JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the Candidate for Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta number 3 Pramono Anung-Rano Karno, Chico Hakim stated that it was inappropriate for a candidate for DKI Jakarta leader to make women the object of a joke.

"People can judge the quality of a person's humor if the candidate for leader is not careful. "It is an inappropriate sense of humor, which places women's positions only as objects and is used as jokes," Chico said in Jakarta, Tuesday, October 29.

Chico suggested that the candidates for governor and deputy governor (cagub-cawagub) of DKI Jakarta should convey ideas and ideas with wise delivery.

He also appealed to all candidate pairs (paslon) for governor and deputy governor of DKI Jakarta to be wiser and more careful in words.

"We urge all cagub-cawagub couples, as well as for ourselves, to be more careful in conveying things to the community," he said.

Moreover, he said, statements that could cause polemics like this and hurt one group.

Candidate for Deputy Governor of Jakarta number 1 Suswono has apologized after his statement caused a polemic in his meeting with the Jawara Awakening Ormas and Lawyers (Bang Japar) which took place on Saturday.

"I realize that my statement in a meeting with Bang Japar volunteers has caused a polemic. For that I apologize, as well as withdraw the statement," he said.

Suswono explained that he made this statement in a joking context in responding to the discussion of one of the residents in a socialization.

"There is no intention at all to offend the widow, let alone the Great Man of all time, the Prophet SAW. Who is an example in every life of mine," he said.
