Disagree with Anies’ Speech? Still, No Hate Speech, Please

17 October 2017No Comment

Jakarta’s new governor is US-educated, former Minister of Education, admired by many for his eloquent speech.

He promoted unity for ALL citizens during his campaigns and debates.

I truly wanted to stay positive about this new administration.

BUT, Anies Baswedan’s first speech as Jakarta’s governor yesterday was FAR from uniting the people.

And it made me wonder, how can he embrace everyone and promote peace if he repeatedly emphasised the idea of ‘natives vs colonisers’ in his FIRST official speech as a governor?

Who are the natives, Mr. Governor?

Or, was it the fault of the speech writer?

Indonesia, let’s avoid hate speech towards others, even towards the leaders whose principles and actions we disagree with.

I’d like to encourage you to share your thoughts online and offline, though, BUT only in the name of the good of Indonesia and its people.

May God have mercy on Jakarta, on Indonesia, on us all.
