TEMPO.CO, Pekanbaru - Riau Governor Syamsuar asserted that he will impose a sanction to state apparatus or ASN who join the rally against the election result on May 22.
“If they take leave without a permit, of course, it’s a violation to the regulation,” said Syamsuar on Tuesday, May 21.
Syamsuar appealed to the public to refrain themselves from attending the rally and devote selves to God and increasingly offer prayers during this holy month Ramadan in a bid to enhance faith and piety.
“Pray for our country to remain in a safe, peaceful situation and maintain the sense of unity of Indonesia,” he remarked.
