JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, responded to the statement of former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs (Wamenlu), Dino Patti Djalal who suggested that President Prabowo Subianto to reduce trips abroad. According to him, as a former official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu), Dino's advice to the president is not appropriate.

"Mr. Dino, yes, he is, even though he has only been the Minister of Foreign Affairs for three months, he is still a former official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to me, there is ethics among people who have served, which means giving an opportunity to people who are currently serving to work. Respect, yes, the person who is currently serving to carry out his duties well, without, yes, making what

"It's a comment or criticism that doesn't fit," said Habiburokhman at the DPR building, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, June 2.

"We see, for example, in the higher context in developed countries, like George Bush, he never openly criticized Obama. Likewise, former American presidents against the current American president. Likewise, in the context of Indonesianness, for example, like me now the Chairman of Commission III of the DPR RI, whose name is Mr. Bambang Pacul, Mr. Herman Hery, Mr. Benny K. Harman, Mr. Trimedya

"As far as I know, Panjaitan has never attacked me openly like Dino did, because they do respect the current one who is in office, yes, Habiburokhman," continued the Chairman of Commission III of the DPR.

Habiburokhman assessed that former government officials must give the opportunity according to their term of office to do their best. "Like me, I will also think later, yes, when I am no longer the Chairman of Commission III, I will not interfere, I will not ridicule the Chairman of Commission III who was then in office. Because my opportunity to show the best things I have is now, when I am serving as Chairman of Commission III," he said.

"So the communication model as shown by Mr. Dino, in my opinion, is not appropriate," added Habiburokhman.

The Gerindra legislator from the DKI Jakarta District also reminded Dino Pati Jalal not to provoke public anger, which then compared previous government officials and those who are currently in office. Moreover, according to Habiburokhman, Dino only served as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for three months.

"Don't lure the public to compare, it's hard to compare. Later, he was asked how great Mr. Dino was? Why is he now the most pretentious person in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the most pretentious person in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the world, right? Later, the public will ask like

"It's also," he said.

Habiburokhman also criticized Dino Pati Jalal for his understanding of ethics in the context of giving advice and criticism. He assessed that Dino should be more elegant in expressing his opinion.

"This can be distinguished, for example, by friends of NGOs criticizing, yes please. But if a former Wamenlu three months, yes, yes, delivering criticism, yes, what is the name should be more elegant," he said.

Because, Habiburokhmankhawatir there will be those who define Dino Pati Jalal's advice and criticism as a blind political attack and political mockery. "Yes, please, later he will answer what it really is. I think there is nothing special about it, Mr. Dino, yes. Everyone is the same, citizens, yes. Those who want to criticize please, whether open or closed," he concluded.
