Following the dismissal of the police chiefs of Jakarta and West Java, which was ordered by Coordinating Political, Legal and Human Rights Minister Mahfud MD, the Jakarta Police on Tuesday summoned Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, seeking clarification regarding a public gathering held at the FPI headquarters in Petamburan, Central Jakarta, where thousands of Rizieq's supporters gathered without wearing masks and causally ignoring social-distancing rules.
Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Mahfud MD has called on the Jakarta administration to further enforce existing health protocols amid concerns of a possible spike in COVID-19 cases, especially in the wake of controversial mass gatherings held by the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) over the weekend.
The Jakarta Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) has slapped Islam Defenders Front (FPI) leader Rizieq Shihab with a Rp 50 million (US$3,536) fine after finding the controversial cleric guilty of disregarding COVID-19 health protocol when organizing a public event that attracted large crowds over the weekend.
Although the public is largely well-acquainted with preventive measures to curb COVID-19 transmission such as the “3M” protocols, a significant number of people are still at a loss as to how tracing, testing and treatment – the so-called 3T procedures – work in the context of pandemic mitigation, according to a recent survey by research firm IPSOS Indonesia.
A survey conducted by Indikator Politik Indonesia has shown that most respondents want regional leader candidates who have violated COVID-19 health protocols to be disqualified from the December elections.
