The Governor of West Java, retired Ridwan Kamil, advised the Acting Governor of West Java Bey Tahri Machmudin to protect West Java, which he raised as a "nclong house" and prepare himself to be diligent in making rhymes.

This message was conveyed by Ridwan Kamil in his remarks on the handover of positions in the West Hall of Gedung Sate, Bandung City. Kang Emil revealed that West Java in five years has produced various achievements.

"I'll leave it only a little, it's not easy in five years to produce 555 stories of extraordinary changes, so if Mr. Bey wants to keep this house that has been slow, you don't have to change anything unless there is a new idea, please go ahead," said Kang Emil as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, September 5.

However, Ridwan Kamil welcomes Bey Machmudin if he has the idea to make changes, because now the authority over West Java is in the hands of the Deputy for Protocol, Press and Media of the Presidential Secretariat.

"But (if) it is also up to you to change it, because the authority now rests with the governor's official," he said.

With a little joke, Ridwan Kamil advised Bey Machmudin to be diligent in making rhymes considering his position as a high official in West Java Province.

"Pak Bey, wayahna (want not) as the Acting Governor, must be diligent in making rhymes," said Kang Emil.

Ridwan Kamil then congratulated Beyxi Machmudin and his wife Amanda Soemedi in her new position in West Java Province.

Kang Emil also advised the West Java Provincial Government ASN to maintain good performance, and continue to establish friendship with him even though he has stepped down as Governor of West Java.

"Don't be arrogant, don't lose it when you meet on the street, keep your ex up. Keep quiet and have coffee together," he said.

Not to forget, Kang Emil also conveyed his last advice which was intended not only for the Acting Governor of West Java, but all ASN and spectators who held strategic positions in their respective places, through a rhyme which he called his best rhyme written.

"Ready, everyone, this is advice for everyone, please note. From Karawang go to Tasik. From Subang go to Cipatik. We came well with good intentions. Now we come home well with good results. That's the best way we come with good intentions to go home with good results, hopefully God will bless us all," said Kang Emil.
