Police chief a celebrity?

Police chief a celebrity?

From Rakyat Merdeka

As a common man longing for justice and law enforcement, I am
often intrigued by the conduct displayed by government officials.
Demonstrations still mark our days: people are protesting the
political elite, members of which are busily jostling for top
positions, and the continuing corrupt, collusive and nepotistic
practices, including those that prevail in the police
headquarters.

Recently RCTI broadcast its Check and Recheck program, in
which the National Police Chief Lt. Gen. Rusdihardjo and his wife
were interviewed as a celebrity couple. There is nothing wrong if
the police chief is interviewed on such a program. However, it is
not an appropriate time for him to be interviewed as a celebrity,
considering the huge tasks that have to be shouldered and the
many problems that have to be addressed. He did not show even the
slightest sense of the crisis which is still hitting the country.
He also showed off the sports facilities at his official
residence. I wonder if poor people have ever seen such facilities
before.

He never fails to talk about his love story with his wife. In
every interview he always puts on expensive clothes. I think it
would be wise for the police chief if such a show was postponed
until the situation was more favorable.

I hope that the country's political elite are sensitive to
what is going on in our country.
