JAKARTA - A poster that reads 'Welcome Pak Jokowi, please pay attention to us street vendors' was spread by a number of residents on the edge of Jalan Basuki Rahmat, Sorong City, by a five-times trader as President Jokowi passed by.

On the way in the morning, Monday, October 4, 2021, while heading to the corn planting location in Klamesen Village, Mariat District, Sorong Regency, a poster held by a resident caught the attention of President Joko Widodo.

In the afternoon, after briefing Forkopimda throughout West Papua Province, the President asked the Head of the Presidential Secretariat Heru Budi Hartono to return to the location where the banners were unfurled before heading to the airport to return to Jakarta.

Arriving at the location, the President immediately approached a cake and bread seller known as Mrs. Juhari who unfurled a banner to ask for help.

"Just now, how come everything was like demos (unfolding banners)?" asked the President to the merchant.

Mrs. Juhari also replied that because Mr. Jokowi was there, she deliberately wrote on white paper measuring approximately 1×1 meter.

President Jokowi then provided additional capital for Mrs. Juhari for her business. A large white envelope was given by Jokowi.

Juhari at first did not know who would pass in front of his path. It's just that he found it strange because the guard was much tighter.

"There are a lot of police. I asked who wanted to pass. He said President Jokowi. I'll just write it down quickly," he said from Makassar.
