JAKARTA - Former Democratic politician Ferdinand Hutahaean commented on the meeting of Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to the residence of The Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Zulkifli Hasan, Thursday, May 13.

According to Ferdinand, with this friendship, Anies has shown that his integrity as the number one person in DKI Jakarta is low.

"I hope again, the lowest measure of integrity is the conformity between speech and deed. Mk if it is not able to be done, the court in question should not talk about higher integrity," Ferdinand said via his Twitter account, @FerdinandHahean3, Saturday, May 15.

In the tweet, Ferdinand also included news from 2 online media. The first title is 'Anies Ask Dki People Not to Visit Each Other During Lebara,' and 'PAN About Meeting Anies and Zulkifli Hasan: Idulfitri Friendship Only.'

Ferdinand's criticism departed from what Anies himself said in a video uploaded to his Instagram account @aniesbaswedan.  The former Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) asked the public not to conduct direct contact.

He asked, all parties without exception should refrain and keep themselves from mobility. Moreover, currently the COVID-19 pandemic is still not over.

"We all realize that the atmosphere of Eid must save the longing silahturahmi with our loved ones, with parents, with family in the hometown. But, we are still faced with a situation where we have to take care of ourselves," Anies said in an impression uploaded to his Instagram, Thursday, May 13.

He also suggested that anyone who wants to make a deal should be able to take advantage of existing technology.

"In order to protect our loved ones from exposure to COVID-19, that is why this celebration is expected that we all remain in contact but make use of technology to reduce direct interaction in contact," he said.

Anies hopes this year's Eid al-Fitr can bring blessings. "God willing we are the victorious. Really win people whose discipline can really win against COVID-19," he said.
