National Greetings Correction At The Independence Ceremony, Anies Baswedan: His Hands Are Open, Not MEmorizing

JAKARTA - Former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan attended the independence ceremony as well as the commemoration of the RI's 78th Anniversary at the Lebak Bulus Reservoir, Cilandak, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 17.

Anies arrived at 07.20 WIB wearing lurik clothes from Yogyakarta. Not only lurik, Anies also wore a batik-motivated blank on his head. In his remarks, the presidential candidate from the Coalition for Change for Unity (KPP) invited the ceremony participants to greet the independence greetings. However, Anies said, the independent hatchers must be done with open hands instead of asphalting.

"Allow me to invite everyone to shake the greeting of independence. The greeting of nationality. I say that the greeting of nationality does not hold, the greeting of nationality is there with open arms, that is what the first President of the Republic of Indonesia showed, on August 31, 1945," said Anies. Anies did not push his hand when fighting for independence. "Free hatchers with open arms who sent our message give warm greetings to all. I will say the sentence "Independent and we all follow it together," said Anies.

Residents who participated in the event also followed Anies' directions. They also join the independence by not bending their hands, but with open arms.

"Alhamdulillah, the greeting of independence is not by holding hands, but with open arms. A greeting that is easily answered with a sense of togetherness," said Anies.
