The existence of a coalition of actions to save Indonesia was quite surprising because they suddenly united and demanded the government to prosper the people. Charges slide after accusations that the government has brought this country to the brink of collapse. KAMI action destroys peace because they invite people to disobey, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Even though it is still in the pandemic era, Indonesia is still in good condition and has not hit a recession like in other countries. But unfortunately, in one of our demands stated that this country was hit by a recession and the government must be held responsible. The reality is that there are still many rich people who are free to shop online and buy branded goods.
KAMI also demand that the presidential election be returned to the way it was 25 years ago. During the presidential election, it was not through direct voting by the people, but via members of the MPR. This proposal was spontaneously rejected by many people because it was considered to be injurious to democracy and Indonesia could experience setbacks, because it returned to conducting elections like the New Order era.
When you want the election to be overhauled, there will be divisions in the community. On the one hand, there are those who want the direct presidential election so that they can elect Indonesian leaders themselves. However, there were other parties who agreed with KAMI suggestion and said that during the New Order era it was delicious because the price of rice was cheap. Even though the situation was pseudo-subsidies, it ended up bringing Indonesia into debt.
KAMI also provoke the people and say that the government is unable to overcome the effects of the corona pandemic. Even though the president has tried hard to restore Indonesia’s financial condition. Among other things, not a lockdown so that the economy runs smoothly. Also reopening tourism so that hotel entrepreneurs and travel agents do business again.
All the babble of KAMI members can lead public opinion to become hostile to the government. As a result, they become skeptical and bully too. Even though what we need is unity and peace in order to overcome the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic together. However, it failed because the people did not want to work together to run government programs.
Politician Inas Nasrullah Zubir stated that the name of the coalition in KAMI already smelled of provocation. So there is an allegation that the movement carried out by Din Syamsudin cs was aimed at inciting the Indonesian people. They provoke that this country is in danger, and only KAMI can save this mess.
Inas continued that the provocation was aimed at treason or to make the president resign in a dishonorable way. In that sense, KAMI incite the public and create an image that the government has failed to manage Indonesia, so the president must be impeached. Because since 2014 they have supported other presidential candidates who unfortunately failed miserably.
The method used by KAMI can be classified as separatist because they openly insult the government until Jokowi’s option to resign appears. There are even allegations that KAMI are a continuation of the 2019 presidential change movement. Because they always blame the government and boast that this country needs to be saved.
People should not be provoked so that they are happy because they get many sympathizers. Use common sense and don’t believe in hoaxes. If they accuse the government of not paying attention to the people, then look carefully. Because all parties, from the unemployed, to entrepreneurs, to the common people, get social assistance.
If KAMI want to save Indonesia, logically they will be kind enough to provide food packages and cash as the government does. They also want to be covid-19 vaccine volunteers so that no more people will get corona. But unfortunately KAMI can only babble rambling on demanding this and that.
Don’t let the peace in Indonesia be damaged because of the appearance of KAMI. They may make a declaration and make 8 demands to the government. However, do not let the public hate the president and be provoked not to run the program created by the government.
