JAKARTA - University of Indonesia (UI) lecturer Ade Armando mentioned Rocky Gerung's thoughts in the lower class class after giving a statement on the @Rocky Gerung Official Youtube channel some time ago.

Instead of providing strong arguments or facts that can refute the writing of 'The Genius of Jokowi,' Professor at the National University of Singapore, Kishore Mahbubani, Rocky actually spit out swearing.

"Rocky should be aware of the intelligence he has, he should be responsible for what he is taught to his lovers, discuss correctly, logically, have common sense. If you just shout buzzar bazzers, it's just people in the lowest strata," said Ade via CokroTV's Youtube channel. quoted Thursday, October 14.

For example, about economic progress written by Mahbubani. Rocky, explained Ade, only denied by arguing that there were farmers who tried to commit suicide.

Then there is the issue of political division, which Jokowi has overcome. Instead of presenting his argument, Rocky said it was just Jokowi's way of silencing critical voices.

"The rest is filled with swearing, swearing, cynicism and lies," explained Ade.

As an academic, Rocky certainly knows, it is normal to have different opinions with anyone. Even if it is Kishore Mahbubani whose track record in public policy cannot be doubted.

Unfortunately it was not done Rocky. According to Ade, Rocky's mouth was mostly swearing and accusing Mahbubani of being a paid buzzer for the palace. Worst of all, Rocky said Mahbubani was paid to praise Jokowi considering the legitimacy of the former governor of DKI Jakarta has decreased.

"According to survey institutions, Jokowi's legitimacy has continued to decline, reaching only 17%. Of course (Rocky) is lying, it's outrageous. Where can a survey agency state that the support of the Indonesian people for Jokowi is only 17%?

"If I use the results of the Indicator research in August, satisfaction with the president's performance reached 60 percent while those who were dissatisfied with 30 percent. Especially if we use the results of the SMRC survey which shows that until 2021 the couple is 75% satisfied with Jokowi's performance," said Ade.

Rocky, said Ade, should explore Mahbubani's arguments one by one. For example, Jokowi has succeeded in bridging Indonesia's political divide or has set new standards in Indonesian governance

"But Rocky didn't do this. He described Mahbubani's writing as an advetorial, aka an advertisement paid for by the palace. Rocky called the professor a buzzer," explained Ade.
