President, National Figures, and Religious Leaders Urge Public to Remain Calm in the Situation

Jakarta — National calm and unity are the primary messages from state leaders and community leaders amidst the evolving social dynamics. They continue to urge the public not to be easily provoked, to maintain order, and to prioritize peaceful means in expressing their aspirations. This call serves as an important affirmation that stability and a sense of security are foundations that must be maintained together.

President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that the government is fully committed to a thorough investigation of the incident.

“In a situation like this, I urge all citizens to remain calm and to trust the government I lead,” said President Prabowo.

The President also assured that any officers found guilty will be punished according to the law.

“The officers involved must be held accountable. If they are found to have acted outside the applicable provisions, we will take the strongest possible action in accordance with the law,” President Prabowo emphasized.

Similarly, the 13th Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ma’ruf Amin, urged all levels of society not to be provoked.

“I also ask all levels of society to remain calm, not to be provoked or provoked, so that this disaster can be resolved as quickly as possible. We must maintain national unity,” said Ma’ruf Amin.

Furthermore, Ma’ruf emphasized the need for swift action from the government to calm the situation, which has spread to various regions.

“Especially in thoroughly investigating the disaster that occurred and enforcing justice transparently if there are any violations of the law,” added Ma’ruf Amin.

Meanwhile, the Rais Aam of the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board (PBNU), KH Miftachul Akhyar, appealed for the expression of aspirations to be carried out without violence.

According to him, aspirations can still be expressed peacefully. “By peaceful means, without violence, and without provocation,” said Miftachul.

A similar appeal came from the 10th and 12th Vice Presidents of the Republic of Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla (JK). He emphasized that actions that end in anarchy will only harm the wider community.

“If the city is in turmoil like this, economic life will come to a standstill. It could also lead to reduced incomes, which will certainly have far-reaching consequences for each individual’s life,” said JK.

From the various statements by these national figures, it is clear that the main appeal is to maintain calm, avoid provocation, and prioritize national unity. With transparent legal resolution and public patience, this tragedy is expected to serve as a momentum for improvement to prevent a repeat in the future.
