Religious Figures Encourage the Community to Appreciate Jokowi’s Leadership and Support the Sustainability Programs of the Elected President.
Jakarta – The government of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has been in operation for a decade, during which time President Jokowi has led Indonesia. Certainly, during President Jokowi’s administration, several policies have been implemented and are greatly felt by the entire Indonesian society.
In relation to this, one private TV station held a dialogue themed “Religious Leaders Encourage the Community to Support the Transition of Government and the Elected President’s Program.” This event features the Deputy Chairman of MUI, KH Marsudi Syuhud, and the Secretary General of PP Muhammadiyah, Prof. Abdul Muchti, as speakers.
KH. Marsudi Syuhud expressed his gratitude that Indonesia is, at this moment, in a safe and comfortable condition. Development can be related to infrastructure or the welfare of the nation.
“We are grateful that Indonesia is, at this moment, in a safe and comfortable condition.” Many countries today are unable to even develop. Because building is an obligation. “Development can be related to infrastructure or the welfare of the nation,” said Marsudi in the Kompas TV studio, Jakarta, on Thursday (September 19) afternoon.
In addition to infrastructure, Indonesia is also capable of fostering the welfare of the nation despite its diversity. Indonesia, when viewed from abroad, seems very comfortable compared to countries that have not yet learned to live together. Religious harmony is progressing well.
“It is hoped that what President Jokowi has done will be continued.” “Don’t let anything be interrupted, because if it gets interrupted, there will be something left idle, then it will stop and be less beneficial,” added Marsudi.
He added that in being a nation and a state, order and harmony can be achieved by respecting the rules that start from the constitution, down to laws and any regulations. If people hold this, then any situation in the nation of Indonesia will be able to be orderly.
“Being a nation and a state must adhere to the rules, and these have been established through discussions such as those in the Parliament and the People’s Consultative Assembly, which then become regulations.” “When it becomes a rule, it must be followed; if there are no rules, everything will be in disarray,” he stated.
Don’t let it be that just because of politics every five years, brotherhood can break and change. The most important thing is that we can all support each other even though we are different. Once selected, the next step will be the inauguration, and a cabinet will be formed.
“I am confident that the upcoming government will be able to continue the various steps taken by previous presidents, and will carry them on according to the grand plans.” Just follow this rule, there’s no need to think too far or too short. “All the rules are already clear,” Marsudi asserted.
Meanwhile, Prof. Abdul Muchti expressed appreciation for the performance that President Jokowi has demonstrated during his 10 years leading Indonesia and the collaboration that has developed between President Jokowi and Muhammadiyah in various fields.
“We must be a nation that is able to appreciate and respect its leaders by objectively assessing in a comprehensive manner the achievements that President Jokowi and his team have accomplished, and we should acknowledge that,” said Abdul Muchti.
According to him, there are four key highlights in the Jokowi era. The first is the development of infrastructure that supports economic growth and connects various isolated regions in Indonesia. Secondly, the economy continues to hold up and the unemployment rate is also decreasing. The three presidents and their teams have succeeded in creating an atmosphere of open democratic life, and fourthly, Indonesia’s role through President Jokowi’s leadership on the international stage.
“In the Jokowi era, infrastructure development supports Indonesia’s economic growth, which has managed to endure and successfully reduce the unemployment rate.” “Jokowi has also succeeded in leading international events such as the G20 Presidency, ASEAN leadership, and has been involved in resolving the Israel-Gaza conflict,” he said.
Sementara untuk proses demokrasi seperti Pemilu, kita harus menerima hasilnya sebagai bagian dari konsekuensi kita memilih sistem demokrasi. Terpilihnya Prabowo dan Gibran tidak hanya kemenangan bagi mereka, namun sebagai kemenangan bangsa Indonesia. Karena Pemilu yang damai, tertib itu menjadi bagian dari kedewasaan kita dalam berdemokrasi.
“Mari kita berikan kesempatan pada pemerintahan yang baru untuk memimpin penyelenggaraan negara. Konsekuensi dari demokrasi, dan terpilihnya Prabowo-Gibran kita beri kesempatan untuk bekerja,” pungkasnya. [*]
