Haha, you won't believe the latest goof-up by Jokowi – he's asking himself for vacation time!

Now, everyone's buzzing about Jokowi's statement saying the President can pick sides and campaign. We're not sure if Jokowi's really gonna jump into the fray, but the signals are getting clearer. Jokowi wouldn't drop a bomb like that without some hidden agenda, right?

So, the head honcho of Indonesia's Election Commission, Hasyim Asy'ari, says Jokowi can campaign, but he has to ask himself for leave. It's in this one election law section, but ain't it hilarious? Jokowi needs vacation approval from the same guy – himself! How does that even work?

Sure, some articles say the President can take sides or campaign, but there are other articles frowning upon state officials taking sides. Even if it's allowed, ethically, the President's gotta stay neutral. If he starts picking sides, especially supporting his own kid, Jokowi ain't the President of the Indonesian people anymore; he's the President of his own family.

Just imagine this: Jokowi asking himself for leave, but the President says, "Nah, no need, go ahead and campaign," hehehe. Confusing, right? I'm scratching my head too.

Or picture this, Jokowi facing the mirror and asking for leave – now that's a conversation!

Or Jokowi sends a leave request to himself.

To Whom It May Concern – aka Me.

I hereby request leave as the President to exercise my right to take sides and campaign for a candidate. Hoping I can grant myself permission. That's all, and thanks for the paycheck, oops, I mean, thanks.

Then comes the reply.

To Whom It May Concern – aka Me.

After receiving the application from yours truly, I declare that I grant myself permission to campaign.

Signed. Yours truly.

Let's hope the President grants Jokowi permission for the greater good. But what if the President denies it? That could lead to a messy public fallout. The President clashing with Jokowi? That ain't good.

The President himself said, parents should approve when their kid becomes a running mate. Can't the President approve Jokowi too? It'd be messed up if he doesn't.

Alright, my head's spinning. Need to grab some stomachache meds first.

What do you think?

Rules for Closing Roads for Private Events

Wedding receptions or ceremonies for Indonesian citizens are often held in front of homes, involving the closure of part or the entire roadway. Is this allowed? The answer is yes; this is regulated by Law No. 22 of 2009 regarding road traffic and National Police Chief Regulation No. 10 of 2012. Article 2 of the National Police Chief Regulation states, 'the use of roads for private purposes as referred to in Article 15 paragraph 2 includes weddings, funerals, or other activities.' And Article 127 paragraph 3 of Law No. 22 of 2009 regarding road traffic states, 'the use of district or city roads and village roads as referred to in paragraph 1 may be permitted for national or regional interests and/or private interests.' This means that road closures for private purposes are allowed, except for national roads, with permission from the local police sector (POLSEK), district police (POLRES), and regional police (POLDA). So, it cannot be authorized solely by the neighborhood ...

Blunder! Jokowi Clarifies Presidential Statement, Is It Acceptable?

It's a serious blunder when the presidential palace has to clarify President Jokowi's statements, and Jokowi himself has to provide clarification. The evidence from the palace reveals a growing panic as the electability of the candidate pair 02, with a controversial offspring, continuously declines. Undeniably, this has caused an unprecedented level of panic within the palace. Jokowi made a blunder by clarifying his own statement, garnering a predominantly negative reaction from the Indonesian public. This blunder is attributed to panic, a common cause for such mistakes when individuals are under pressure. My question is, what is causing President Jokowi to feel pressured? Is it because he is concerned about the people? It seems not, as he has taken actions seemingly beyond his capabilities, attempting to appear neutral when, in fact, he is anything but neutral. President Joko Widodo once stated that civil servants and ministers should remain neutral. However, recently, he decl...

Harsh Criticism: TPN Claims Jokowi-Megawati Meeting Will Happen After Ganjar's Victory

During the PDIP anniversary, President Jokowi was notably absent, citing a conflicting schedule for a work visit in an ASEAN country. There was also no birthday greeting. However, when Megawati celebrated her 77th birthday, Jokowi sent an arrangement of orchids, white roses, lilies, and baby's breath, accompanied by a message, "Happy birthday to Mother Megawati Soekarnoputri. From: President Joko Widodo." Recently, there have been rumors that Jokowi requested a meeting with Megawati, though this was denied. In my opinion, this might be true. When it comes to denials, can we really believe them? For instance, Jokowi previously stated that state officials must remain neutral, yet he seems no longer neutral himself. Can Jokowi's statements be trusted anymore? PDIP Secretary-General Hasto Kristiyanto stated that those meeting with Megawati are always open. "If someone meets with Mother, it's always open," said Hasto. However, he believes that if a meeting wi...
