Your Hope for the Elected President?

My hope for the next president is that the he pays more attention to the Papuan people

Especially to young Papuans who are still in need of jobs

Other than that, the elected president should make Papua more prosperous

And no more killings, the elected president should guarantee our safety and welfare

The elected president should pay more attention to Papuans

There are many things, but I will speak more about education

If possible, the education standard should become the same as it is in Java

So Papuans can compete in the education systems in Java or Jakarta

Because it is still very lowly developed in here. especially in remote areas

So if possible, there should be equality in the education system

Our brothers and sisters in Jakarta should also be taken care of by the government

Because they are also human, like the elected president or other leaders

There should be some changes in Papua for example why is Papua so different when compared to Jakarta?

Especially in terms of development

In Papua it is quite slow and less developed, for example PenPres 84 is a regulation on development in Papua

That regulation was issued by the Indonesian government itself

Without that, Papuan people could prosper and have some improvement in human resources

I hope that the elected president can build a Papua similar to Jakarta

I hope this elected president will pay attention to his people, especially Papuans

And raise its status to be much better so it can be known all over the world

Pay attention so that the Papuans will be in a much better state than they are now

So what's the difference now since Jokowi visited Papua?

I'm really happy because when he visited us in Raja Ampat and Papua, he can really see what really happens here

And what Papuan people have been hoping for

Jokowi is really humble and he responded well to people

And he didn't segregate us based on our economy backgrounds

For him it doesn't matter if we are rich or poor, businessmen or not or anything else...

If he gets elected he can really help us develop this country

There's no effect when Jokowi came to Papua

It's like that for me, maybe for others it's different

I think there's an effect when he visited us

It's rare that we see any president go down to the people the way he has, and especially how he went to traditional markets

So for me, I think he affected us, because I think there hasn't been any president who came down to the people like Jokowi

And even when they do want to pay a visit, they will bring so many guards

You can see these presidential candidates surrounded by guards, it happens in the capital

When Jokowi came to Sorong, he visited the traditional market and I was told that some locals wept in tears when they saw him

It's clear I'm hoping that this election will be held in peace

That's for sure, I hope this election can be held peacefully

I think that's what we are all hoping

From the beginning until end, I hope there's no conflict between their supporters

I'm hoping for a peaceful election, no riots or anything else

So I hope that in this election, it will be peaceful and secure
