Mahfud MD Gathering At Gus Dur's Wife's House, Served Opor While Discussing The Current Political Situation

JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD visited the wife of the 4th President of Indonesia Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Dur, Sinta Nuriyah.

Mahfud admitted that the COVID-19 pandemic had delayed his intention to visit Gus Dur's wife's residence in Ciganjur, South Jakarta.

"It has been more than two years that my wife and I have not been able to stay in touch with Mrs. Sinta Nuriyah Abdurrahman Wahid. Because of the PPKM to tackle COVID-19," Mahfud wrote on his Instagram account, @mohmahfudmd, Tuesday 10 May.

However, Mahfud's intention to stay in touch with his wife was deemed appropriate to be realized when the national COVID-19 case was sloping and coincided with the Eid 2022 moment.

He finally met the first lady, who was still diligent in fasting, David and always kept the Koran in order. In that moment, Mahfud and his wife were served with chicken opor, a typical Eid meal.

"My wife and I visited Ciganjur to visit Ciganjur, were treated to chicken opor and various cakes typical of our Eid, accompanied by Yenny Wahid and Inayah Wahid," he said.

The meeting was filled with discussions about the current situation in Indonesia. Including sharing memories when Mahfud ate at the table with Gus Dur.

"We discussed the socio-political situation that continues to experience dynamics. Mrs. Sinta also advised the need to strengthen Islamic da'wah to strengthen the Pillars of Islam, the Pillars of State Administration, and the Pillars of Health in situations like this," he concluded.
