JAKARTA - The Citayam Fashion Week (CFW) phenomenon has recently become the center of public attention. A number of teenagers from various areas on the outskirts of Jakarta gathered in the Dukuh Atas area, Central Jakarta, wearing their version of the latest fashion.
The names of teenagers such as Bonge Cs, Roy and Jeje are popular on social media until they are flooded with advertisement offers and even being offered a scholarship by the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno.
However, Roy actually refused the scholarship offer on the grounds that he wanted to 'content' and did not want to disappoint Sandiaga Uno as the scholarship provider. Of course, the refusal reaped pros and cons because Roy was considered to have laid a golden opportunity to carve out a better future.
Meanwhile, Jeje and Bonge actually asked for a scholarship from the DKI Provincial Government when they were made 'ambassadors' for the cleanliness campaign in the Dukuh Atas area, Sudirman.
Regarding this phenomenon, Commission X of the DPR gave a message to the teenagers who are now based in Dukuh Atas.
Member of Commission X DPR who is also Deputy Chairperson of the MPR, Lestari Moerdijat, admitted that he appreciated the creativity of the Citayam teenager. Lestari did not question Bonge Cs refusing a scholarship from the Menparekraf.
"I think that this phenomenon is a form of youth creativity that should be appreciated and appreciated," said Lestari when contacted by VOI, Monday, July 25.
According to him, whatever the choice must be supported as long as the person concerned wants to continue to learn to hone his creativity and not violate the law. By providing space for expression and learning for these young people.
"Every effort to develop the creativity of the younger generation must be given space, provided that the creativity development process does not conflict or violate applicable laws or regulations and does not interfere with the public interest," said Lestari, who is familiarly called Rerie.
"And don't let the creative process have a negative impact," he added.
The MPR leader hopes that in being creative in the public sphere, SCBD teenagers must continue to prioritize manners, manners according to the norms and cultural values of the Indonesian nation.
"The spirit of young people to be creative and willing to move forward must be supported," said Rerie.
"Regarding the rejection of scholarship grants by several individuals, I consider that it is a personal decision and I certainly have the full right to refuse or accept it," he explained.
As long as, added Rerie, Bonge and friends can continue to learn and develop themselves. To be able to face the challenges of the future.
"I just give a message, the young generation of the nation's successors should never stop being learners, and learning can be done anywhere, both formal and informal," said Rerie.
"Most importantly, the younger generation must prepare themselves as well as possible to be able to answer challenges and actively play a role as the next generation in the future," he continued.
