TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan expressed his resentment upon irrational criticisms directed towards the government during his speech at a seminar held in the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) on Monday, March 19.
Luhut denies that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has sold the nation to foreign parties by welcoming numerous investments in Indonesia.
“There were no news pieces of us selling our country to foreigners. There are problems along the way, but we would never whore out our professionalism,” said Luhut at the BPK headquarter.
Luhut did not mention the person who issued the accusation. However, he warned that he has kept the records of the accuser and will reveal their sins if this person continues to spout irrational criticisms.
“I checked the person’s track record. It is understandable if you’re the only clean person alive, but you also have loads of sins. If you dare to play with us we can expose your sins, who do you think you are?” Luhut said angrily.
Minister Luhut also addressed the current criticism towards President Jokowi’s land certificate distribution program, who some consider as an attempt to dupe the people.
