JAKARTA - The People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) canceled the final re-run of the Smart and Careful Competition (LCC) Four Pillars 2026 at the West Kalimantan (Kalbar) Provincial Level because there was a statement of rejection from SMAN 1 Pontianak and SMAN 1 Sambas.
Chairman of the MPR Socialization Agency Abraham Liyanto said the two schools agreed that there was no need for a re-run. In addition, the cancellation was also a consensus of all factions in the MPR.
"Today we met, just now with the complete leadership of the MPR, we decided to follow what these two schools have said," said Abraham as reported by ANTARA, Monday, May 18.
He said the MPR had also met with SMAN 1 Pontianak and SMAN 1 Sambas last week. According to him, the MPR also accepted the request of the two schools well.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of the MPR Abcandra Muhammad Akbar Supratman conveyed that the student of SMAN 1 Pontianak Josepha Alexandra, who became the center of attention for the LCC controversy some time ago, would become the Ambassador of the MPR Smart and Neat Competition.
"One of the aspirations of my friends, Joseph's younger brother, can be an ambassador for LCC, tomorrow from the Kesekjenan will convey this," said Abcandra.
He also apologized on behalf of the MPR for the LCC controversy that occurred. Therefore, he invited all people to support the implementation of the MPR LCC in the future.
"I think we will invite a jury that is in line with the aspirations of the Indonesian people or those who are competent from universities or experts in state governance," he said.
Previously, the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) decided to hold a re-run of the final round of the Smart and Careful Competition (LCC) Four Pillars 2026 at the West Kalimantan (Kalbar) Provincial Level after the assessment error.
The controversy occurred when three high schools (SMA) competed in the final round of the MPR Four Pillars LCC at the provincial level in West Kalimantan in Pontianak, namely Pontianak State High School 1, Sambas State High School 1, and Sanggau State High School 1.
The competition became a hot topic on social media because of an error in judgment during the question-and-answer session.
Participants had objections to the jury's assessment. However, the response of the jury, namely the Head of the MPR General Secretariat Assessment Bureau Dyastasita W.B. and the Head of the MPR Outreach Agency Secretariat Indri Wahyuni, was highlighted by netizens.
