JAKARTA - Megawati Soekarnoputri does not accept the various insults to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Megawati's voice was hoarse when she spoke she cried at the insult to Jokowi.

"There are still people who say Jokowi is a frog. That guy really has no morals, coward I say. Let it be steady, I'm not afraid of being bullied either. Try to come face to face, your man. Even though we act as citizens who have moral ethics, don't be careless," said Megawati in a hoarse voice in her speech that laid the first stone for the construction of the protection for the sacred area of Pura Besakih, Bali online which was broadcast via the YouTube account of the Bali Provincial Government, Wednesday, August 18.

Megawati asked all parties to unite and work together in facing the difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes refraining from criticizing President Joko Widodo regarding the handling of the pandemic.

"I said to Mr. Jokowi. You are just being strong. We are behind you because this is a trial not only in Indonesia but throughout the world. Try to see it on television, the superpower country of America is also experiencing it," said Megawati.

"I am very sad that many people seem to vilify Pak Jokowi. Pak Jokowi has failed. Our government has failed," he continued.

Megawati said she was concerned because President Jokowi continued to receive criticism that was often conveyed unethically. In fact, he said, it is sad to see the president who looks thinner because he thinks about the fate of his people.

"Look at Pak Jokowi. I like to cry, you know. He's so thin. Why is he skinny? Think about us, think about the people. There are still people who say Jokowi is a frog. That person really has no morals. Coward, I said," firmly Megawati.

Megawati then challenged critics who thought haphazardly. According to him, criticizing the president must be manly.
