PDIP’s Ketum Megawati Soekarnoputri statement calling on President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) not to spoil millennials is controversial. There are those who agree, but there are also those who criticize the statement of the fifth RI president.
Megawati’s criticism of millennials aired when he delivered a speech at the inauguration of various PDIP offices in the regions that aired virtually on Wednesday (10/28/2020). He highlighted the issue of student demonstrations that reject the general law of the Employment Creation Law that ended in anarchy.
Megawati was upset by the vandals at the demonstration some time ago because they damaged various public facilities. He also asked President Jokowi not to spoil millennials.
“Oh, our young people, I said to the president, do not spoil yourself, it is said that our generation is the millennial generation, I want to ask today, what is the contribution of the millennial generation who already know that technology like us can go viral without seeing face to face, what is your contribution to this nation and country. ? “Megawati said.
Megawati doesn’t care if her statements make her intimidating. He said street rallies or demonstrations had been allowed since the reforms. But according to him, do not damage public facilities.
“It is just a demonstration, they will harass me, I don’t care, it’s just that the demonstration is destructive, there is a rule about the demonstration, let me debate,” Megawati said.
“There are rules in the demonstration that are allowed because when we reform, we enter a democratic terrain, yes. But it is there, he answers, the rule is to destroy, there is not, if someone says there is a mother, where is she, here, here tell me, “he added.
Megawati admitted that he could not bear the anarchist actions that occurred during the demonstrations. He regretted that bus stops made with big budgets were simply destroyed by protesters.
“This is the president of the general who rarely speaks. But I once said that I could not bear it. Masyaallah, bother to make a bus stop, good to burn, how much money do you have? Arrested, you don’t want to do this. How do you do it? do you? I think it’s really fun in Indonesia now, “he said.
He then asked Djarot Syaiful Hidayat about the budget to build a bus stop, who once served as the governor of DKI Jakarta. During the event, Djarot stood by Megawati’s side. Djarot said that the construction of a TransJ bus stop could reach 3,000 million rupees.
“Well, 3 billion, maybe now with an increase in inflation. For women, the price of gold is like this. How can 3 billion be generated again? Imagine. Whose people are these? Young people? I’m talking like that. It’s in the Youth Engagement, you know, “Megawati said.
For millennials to avoid instant culture
Up to nine national parties commented on Megawati’s anxiety toward millennials. PDIP provided an explanation for Megawati’s harsh statement. PDIP’s senior elite, Andreas Hugo Pareira, felt that Megawati would comment harshly enough so that millennials are not used to instant culture.
“The intention of Megawati is, of course, good, coinciding with the commemoration of the Youth Commitment, so that the young generation of Indonesia continue to live the spirit of the struggle of the young generation of independence pioneers who with courage, commitment and I work hard against colonial imperialism in his time, “Andreas Hugo Pareira told reporters on Thursday. (10/29/2020).
According to Andreas, the millennial generation must understand the fighting spirit, commitment and hard work of youth in carrying out the Youth Pledge in 1928. He said that the Youth Pledge was what gave rise to the Proclamation of Independence on August 17, 1945.
On this basis, Megawati is seen to be giving prominence to millennials, who indeed have many comforts today. It is hoped that the millennial generation can emulate the former youth who had great fighting power to build Indonesia.
“As a high-level statesman in this republic, Ms Mega certainly hopes that the younger generation in Indonesia or those who are now more popular with millennials will avoid the instant culture, which it demands and only accepts,” Andreas said.
“But you must remain in the spirit of struggle, commitment and hard work to advance the nation and make Indonesia an honorable nation, respected in the era of global competition in the 21st century with its various challenges,” continued the member of Commission XI DPR.
