Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD assessed that former Coordinating Minister for the Economy Rizal Ramli had personally attacked the debate that took place on social media some time ago.

"When Rizal said Mahfud MD was intellectually decomposed and became a liar, it had nothing to do with what we discussed," said Mahfud at the Kemenkopolhukam Office, Central Jakarta, Sunday, January 8.

Mahfud conveyed that Rizal Ramli had treated a number of figures like himself at this time, including the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani. However, if other figures are silent, Mahfud admits to being different.

"You (Rizal) stab people in this way. So far Sri Mulyani has been silent, the President has been silent, I don't!," he said.

"The intellectual ticket slumped is personal, right," continued Mahfud.

Therefore, Mahfud said he was reluctant to argue openly with Rizal Ramli. He said that the complaint about ideas or ideas that had occurred with Rizal had passed.

"No, what is the (debate with) Rizal, that's already this, it's already open, just written (via social media) right," said Mahfud.

Previously, Rizal Ramli flicked Mahfud MD's attitude regarding the Government Regulation in Lieu of the Job Creation Act (Perppu).

Rizal disagreed with Mahfud MD, who had said he would criticize the Job Creation Perppu issued by President Jokowi only if he did not become a minister. In his upload, Rizal also included news related to Mahfud's statement.

"The image of my friend Mahfud MD that everyone will change from angel to devil after entering power is 'an insult to the history of great figures and Indonesian fighters'. Mahfud is not true," said Rizal.
