TEMPO.CO, Yogyakarta - Governor of Yogyakarta, the Royal Highness Sultan Hamengku Buwono X, has called for order on the street. "Don’t feel more superior than others," said Sultan on Monday, August 17, 2015.


The statement came as the Sultan was asked for an opinion regarding the recent nationally appraised stunt by Elanto Wijoyono, 32, who bloked a Harley-Davidson motorbike convoy of the Jogja Bike Rendezvous on Saturday, August 15.


The Sultan, speaking on his behalf, said that breaking the convoy into smaller companies can help solve the issue. "Do not let other riders and drivers wait for too long as they have the same rights," he said.


Furthermore, Head of Yogyakarta Police, Brigadier General Erwin Triwanto, has asked for motorbike convoys to not be arrogant on the road. “This can be a lesson for them," said Erwin.
