TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko asked the public not to associate the recent flag burning incident in Garut to the Indonesian government or the 2019 presidential election. He maintained that it is an isolated case between two groups.

“This incident is between two groups, there is no government's involvement in it,” said Moeldoko at the State Secretary headquarters in Jakarta today, Oct. 23.

Moeldoko said that he felt the need to voice his concern to avoid having the issue dragged into the political realm. “This is a local incident that was done by two organizations. That’s it,” said the former Indonesian Armed Forces Commander.

Moeldoko also called for people to avoid misleading the public and using the moment to link it with the government or the presidential election.
