Luhut asked the public not to have a negative opinion of the president.

According to Luhut, Jokowi prioritized the community to receive the Covid-19 vaccine.

“So don’t be prejudiced, keep it away. The government is once again giving the best to its people. If the president also wants them to inject him first today,” Luhut said.

“But the president does not want, he will say that he wants the president himself to go first or violate the rules. Everybody wants to be done in an orderly manner,” Luhut continued.
