JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria responded to the violation committed by the Rachel Vennya program for running away while undergoing quarantine at Wisma Atlet Pademangan.

Riza said, as a public figure on social media, Rachel Vennya should be able to set a good example for her followers.

"Lita hopes that the celebgrams can be role models for the community. Since the celebgrams have many followers, they should be examples for others," said Riza at City Hall, Central Jakarta, Thursday, October 14.

Riza said the DKI Provincial Government was only waiting for the authorities to investigate the Rachel Vennya case. In addition, Riza asked the public to continue to apply health protocols.

"We are waiting for what the policy will be, later the Pangdam will be checked, reinvestigated exactly and so on. Let's all implement the health protocols as best we can," he said.

As is known, the news of Rachel Vennya escaping from quarantine that has been circulating on social media for the past few days has finally been revealed. Apparently, Rachel Vennya was proven to have run away while still undergoing quarantine at the Pademangan Athlete's Guesthouse after returning from the United States.

Initially, this news circulated after an Instagram account named @_melatiintaan wrote a comment about the celebrity. This account claims to be one of the data input officers at Wisma Atlet Kemayoran.

According to him, Rachel was required to undergo quarantine for eight days but it turned out that Rachel only ran for three days.

"Ohhh, he was supposed to be quarantined at the Athlete House for 8 days, eh. But he just ran away for 3 days???" wrote @_melatiintaan on October 8, 2021.

Until finally the authorities opened their voices. In his written statement yesterday, the Head of the Jaya Pendam, Colonel Arh Herwin Budi Saputra, revealed the fact that Rachel Vennya was able to escape from Wisma Atlet because she was assisted by TNI personnel.

"It was found that there were allegations of non-procedural actions by members of the Soetta Airport Security (TNI) initials An.FS who had arranged for the Rachel Vennya program to avoid quarantine procedures that must be passed after traveling from abroad," said Herwin.

Later, Rachel Vennya uploaded an apology on her Instagram account @rachelven after reportedly running away from Wisma Atlet Pademangan. In that post, Rachel hopes that the public will open the door for her to apologize.

"I apologize profusely and I hope all the bad things I've ever done in my life can be a lesson for me. To always think when moving forward well," Rachel wrote.
