Upload Photo of Natalius Pigai, Ferdinand: Expensive Hat, Jam
JAKARTA - Former Democrat Party politician Ferdinand Hutahaen satirized human rights activist, Natalius Pigai, who was recently highlighted by the public for allegedly committing racism against President Joko Widodo and the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo.
Ferdinand uploaded a portrait of Pigai holding a cigar in a cowboy pose in North America. "Expensive hats, Expensive Cohiba cigars, Expensive watches, Expensive T-shirts, maybe the pants and shoes are also expensive,"
"This is in stark contrast to the condition of some Papuan people whose welfare continues to be raised by President Jokowi and his staff," Ferdinand quipped on his Twitter account, @FerdinandHaean3 quoted by VOI, Monday, October 4.
The spotlight on the former Commissioner of the National Human Rights Commission started from his tweet @NataliusPigai2. Pigai said, don't trust the people of Central Java, including Jokowi and Ganjar Pranowo.
"Don't believe the people of Central Java, Jokowi & Ganjar. They robbed us of our wealth, they killed the people of Papua, trampled on the dignity of the Papuan people with lowly words, racism, monkeys and trash. We are not lowly. We fight injustice to the last drop of blood. I am against injustice.) ." Pigai tweeted.
For this tweet, the Barisan Relawan Nusantara (BaraNusa) group will report former Commissioner of the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) Natalius Pigai to the Metro Jaya Police on Monday 4 October.
"His actions do not show his intellectuality as a former Commissioner of the National Human Rights Commission. It should be fine if he criticizes, but don't slander, don't be racist," said BaraNusa General Chair Adi Kurniawan when contacted by reporters, Sunday, October 3.
On this report, Natalius Pigai responded casually. For him, it is legal for anyone to report. However, Pigai asked the reporter to be able to distinguish between racist statements or not.
"They have to differentiate, I don't call Java as a tribe, I call Central Java as the name of a province or administrative region," said Pigai when contacted by VOI, Sunday, October 3.
According to Pigai, in anthropology dictionaries and classical anthropology books, it is also mentioned that Java is a tribe, not a Central Javanese tribe.
"Thus, those who report cannot say I am racist," he said. In Central Java, continued Pigai, there are many tribes living. There are people from Papua, Bali, NTT, Sulawesi, Sumatra and others.
"Unless I say 'Javanese', (it's) just a tribe, it's categorized as racist. Especially between the phrases Central Java and Jokowi, there's no comma. I immediately mention the names of the private individuals Pak Jokowi and Pak Ganjar," he said.
