JAKARTA - The tragedy of riots at the Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang sparked the response of the Chairperson of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, who immediately asked for a thorough investigation.

Why did such a tragedy occur on the football field? How is the implementation process carried out by the organizing committee? How is the security procedure?," said Puan in a statement received by VOI, Sunday, September 2.

Everything must be investigated thoroughly. No, you can't! This is a matter of the lives of the people who are lost," he added.

Puan emphasized that football matches at the stadium should be a fun entertainment venue for the general public. Including supporters in expressing support for their favorite team.

"It's not even the place of a tragedy that takes more than a hundred human lives," explained Puan.

"Human life, our lives, are too valuable only for a football game that ends in riots," he added.

Likewise with PSSI, Puan asked them to improve themselves and evaluate the total implementation of the national football league.

"We ask that the national league be temporarily suspended to honor the victims, while waiting for the results of the investigation to complain about this tragedy," said Puan.

Not to be missed, Puan also expressed her condolences for the tragedy of the riots at the Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang, which claimed 127 lives.

What happened at the Kanjuruhan Stadium last night was a heartbreaking event. On behalf of the Chairman of the DPR RI, I express my deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the tragedy," said Puan.

Previously reported, out of a total of 127 people, 34 died directly at the Kanjuruhan Stadium who had not been taken to the hospital.

Then, the remaining 94 people died while undergoing hospital treatment. Until now, there are still 180 people being treated at a number of hospitals in Malang City.
