With the end that is not young anymore, said Putra, the recovery process for his father-in-law was quite difficult. In fact, the team of doctors have done the maximum treatment.

"So it's not easy to recover and the optimal treatment is carried out by the family and the team of doctors at Siloam Hospital," he said.

However, Putra said that before he died, in an unwell condition, Sabam continued his activities and carried out his duties as a member of the PDIP DPP.

In fact, you could say the activity is very solid. Because, they still have to participate in meetings with several ministers, even though they are virtual.

"I had several video calls with him, he was very busy working with the Minister of Home Affairs and related ministers and others," he said.

"So he really enjoyed it even though it wasn't easy for him to have virtual meetings with the DPD. But then that was it, this chronic lung disease that made him have to be hospitalized," he continued.
