JAKARTA - Various wall graffiti or murals criticizing the government continue to appear in a number of areas.
An example is the mural on the wall of Jalan Kebon Kacang, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta.
The sarcastic phrase "We are hungry for God" can be seen on this black and white mural.
Not only that, right next to the writing, it also says "Don't be afraid, gentlemen, this is just street art".
In the midst of widespread criticism of the government through murals, unfortunately there are certain parties who even delete them.
The deletion of the mural, which has the nuances of criticism of the government, is of course regretted by a number of residents.
One of the residents, Yaumal, justified the criticism from mural makers as a form of freedom of expression in a democratic country.
According to him, if the mural doesn't have a permit, the government should delete all murals without exception, including those with praise.
Meanwhile, another resident thinks that the government is worried about public criticism through murals.
The community hopes that the government can give freedom of opinion to anyone, including mural makers.
