Initially, Ronald\narrived with 15 employees of PT SKS to hold an audience at the MPP law\nfirm regarding the unpaid wages of the employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause the audience could not meet with the MPP party who was being\ndemonstrated against, the Menteng Metro Police Sector eventually took\nthe initiative to hold mediation at the Menteng Metro Police Sector\noffice,\u201d explained the Head of Public Relations of the Central Jakarta\nMetro Police, IPTU Erlyn Sumantri.<\/p>\n<p>She stated that the audience at the law firm location initially\nproceeded safely and conducively with police accompaniment. However, a\ngroup of unidentified individuals then appeared and, without clear\nreason, carried out intimidation and obstructed the audience\nprocess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result of the actions of that group, the situation heated up\nand an altercation arose, ultimately leading to the victim receiving\npunches from that group,\u201d Erlyn explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, officers separated the victim and the respondent and secured\nthem to be brought to the Menteng Metro Police Sector for further\nexamination,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The assault perpetrator, along with one party involved in the brawl,\nwas arrested by the police.

Rizal also claimed that Bro Ron directed\nracist remarks towards him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s correct, I filed a counter-report against the individual. The\nreport concerns assault and mobbing accompanied by inappropriate\ninsults,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rizal claimed that Ronald assaulted him first. In addition, according\nto Rizal, Ronald allegedly directed racist statements towards him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s correct (Ronald hit first), he punched my stomach hitting the\nsolar plexus.

He is seen sitting on a hospital bed accompanied by several\npeople, including PT SKS employees and his personal staff from\nAmbon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m defending the oppressed, I have employees, then where does\nthe racism come from?\u201d said Ronald.<\/p>\n<p>Bro Ron\u2019s Explanation<\/p>\n<p>Ronald explained that he came to the audience because the MPP party\nthat the PT SKS employees wanted to meet was his old friend. However,\nunexpectedly, Ronald became the victim of an assault from the party\nclaiming to be the security of the MPP office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey said they were there as office security and asked everyone to\nleave the building.
