JAKARTA - Social media activist Ferdinand Hutahaean made a striking comment after a visit by the Governor of DKI Jakarta at a Tegal stall aka warteg in the Pramuka Market area, Matraman, East Jakarta, Thursday, October 14.

This warteg fell short because it was invaded by residents after being visited by Anies. Residents thought that the warteg had been paid by Anies so they were free to order food. After leaving, Anies gave Rp1 million to the warteg owner named Takuri (45).

Although he did not mention specific names, Ferdinand linked Anies' visit to a number of political parties who rejected the planned Interpellation of Formula E at the DKI Jakarta DPRD. At that time Anies Baswedan invited 7 party factions in the DPRD to dine at his house.

"It's the turn of the supporting parties, they are invited to eat luxuriously. As soon as it's their turn to eat at the people's stalls, they pay less. It sucks..!!," Ferdinand quipped through his Twitter account, @FerdinandHaean3 quoted on Saturday, October 16. Deputy Chairman of the DPRD from the Gerindra faction, Mohamad Taufik, admitted that seven factions of the DKI DPRD refused to submit an interpellation to DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan regarding Formula E.

Taufik said this decision was agreed after seven factions other than PDIP and PSI were invited to a meeting at Anies' official residence last night.

"The agreement of 7 factions, namely Gerindra, PKS, Democrat, PAN, NasDem, PKB-PPP with 73 members does not participate in the interview," said Taufik when contacted.
