Chairperson of the Honorary Board of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Amien Rais, optimistic that the presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate number 2 will be the winner if there is no fraud.
In the discussion on ‘Reflection of , Change the Country Master’ which was held by National Secretariat Prabowo – Sandi in Menteng, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, 1/15/2019. He said that his party would make Jokowi as Bebek paralyzed by losing to Prabowo – Sandi.
Previously at the forum, the same, the former chairman of the MPR also intended to encourage the mass movement to attack the KPU RI if it was proven to be fraudulent.
This narrative is a sarcastic and provocative expression. The NKRI Advocate Supervisory Network (JAPRI) suspected that Amien Rais had violated the election campaign by naming and making Jokowi paralyzed.
JAPRI also considered that the speech made by the Amien Rais caliber figure could lead to horizontal conflict in the community.
You could say, the father of this reform has its own advantages to say “sentences” that are easily understood by the community. The term used controversy and also .
In the Rakornas Alumni Association (PA) 212 in the Sarbini Hall, Taman Wiladatika, Cibubur, Amien Rais said loudly while pointing to a photo of Indonesian President Joko Widodo on his left, he loudly “this electability has gone down.”
Immediately the applause from the 212 alumni thundered shortly after Amien Rais said this.
He also brought controversy in his ministry about the party of God and the party of Satan at the Baiturrahim Mosque, Mampang Prapatan. This was also considered a controversy because the content of Amien’s lecture was considered to have brought Religion in all political competitions to provoke provocation of SARA sentiments.
As a figure who has earned a from the University of Melbourne, he should also be responsible for the running of politics in a more rational framework, he is not only a national but a professor who should be a role model.
But it seems like Amien Rais wanted to give a surprise on 30 November 2018 ago. At the Muhammadiyah XVII Youth Conference in Yogyakarta, he predicted that Baratayudha and Armageddon would occur on April 17, later.
The Baratayudha War is a war between the defenders of the truth against the advocates of evil. In fact, he also gave a signal, stating that it was as if the presidential election was a battle between parties who were pro and anti-PKI.
Even though the vice president promoted by Sandiaga Uno wants a peaceful and honest campaign, this is certainly very contradictory, if Amien Rais describes the presidential election as a war plan while the vice presidential candidate he supports wants a peaceful campaign.
If indeed the presidential election will become the Baratayudha war, of a question mark will emerge, who will be suitable to join in?
If we flashback the 2014 Presidential Election when Jokowi – JK fought Prabowo – Hatta, the Chair of the Honorary Council called it the Badar war term.
The Battle of Badr was a war that occurred during the time of the Prophet Muhammad when the Muslims fought against the Quraysh. Although he did not explicitly mention which party was intended by the Quraysh forces in the 2014 Presidential Election, we certainly could have guessed, where the bias of the term was intended.
Now the term “paralyzed duck” may be an interesting term to study, presumably what Amien Rais wants so that he wants Jokowi to become a lame duck (duck lame)
In its history, the term “paralyzed duck” was created in the 18th Century on the London Exchange, the term refers to money who have failed to pay their debts.
In the political sphere, paralyzed ducks are elected officials where their successors have been elected. These officials are often seen as having less influence with other politicians because of their limited time.
Paralyzed officials tend to have less political because other elected officials tend not to cooperate with them.
If the term paralyzed duck refers to Amien Rais’s narrative, then the context of the paralyzed duck intended is so that Prabowo – the Winning Password so that Jokowi cannot do anything until his term ends.
But whatever Amien Rais said, of it was only a political wind that disappeared, because the results of the presidential election later determine who the leader wants the people to be.
In addition to being smart in processing diction to be a certain term, Amien Rais also often poses a threat to the KPU. According to him, the KPU should not feel the most powerful because the KPU is only an election organizer.
He also added that the non-neutrality of the KPU would harm the people who gave their voting rights in the 2019 election. One example is the problem of the final voter list that did not end.
This statement is actually feared that will make people not trust the KPU. Even though currently the KPU, Bawaslu and the Ministry of Home Affairs have worked hard so that the issues related to the voter list can still be resolved.
KPU has made 69,834 posts to overcome the problem of Voters List, where in the future the community can report to the posts, including if their names have not yet appeared in the DPT.
In this case, of course we can judge that the destructive opinion with minimal substance will only have an impact on two things, namely jokes and division.
Democracy in Indonesia should go peacefully, differences are indeed something that naturally happens. But that does not mean differences become a reason for dropping each other.
There is still time before the 2019 Election, will Amien Rais joke again or will he obey the advice of his Party management to get Amien Rais to withdraw from politics?
