TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Chairul 'CT' Tanjung has called on investors not to panic ahead of the announcement of the presidential election results on July 22.
"No need to panic. If there is a problem, uprising or riot, our people will bear the consequences," CT said yesterday.
The democracy process in Indonesia has been improving as the presidential election on July 9 went smoothly and peacefully, he added, hoping that during the vote tally, each candidate’s side would refrain from causing riot and maintain peaceful condition.
CT believed that the announcement of the presidential election result would run safely and peacefully because one of the candidate pairs had pledged not to mobilize their supporter during the tally.
"We hope the other candidate would do the same so that KPU would be free from pressure," said the minister.
