JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The DKI Jakarta Province has extended the transitional large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) for two weeks, starting from 9 to 22 November 2020.

“Friends are urged to remain disciplined in implementing the 3M health protocol. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will continue to strive so that various indicators of Covid-19 control continue to improve by enforcing the law and massive 3T activities,” said Anies.

However, Anies’ appeal seems to have been ignored by the masses of the Islamic Defenders Front ( REIT). In the past week, two FPI mass inviting activities were recorded the crowd.

Welcome home Rizieq

The first activity was welcoming the mass of FPI sympathizers to Rizieq Shihab, who had just returned from Saudi Arabia. Rizieq arrived in Indonesia on November 10, 2020.

Upon arriving in Indonesia, Rizieq was greeted by FPI sympathizers and masses at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Cengkareng, causing activity at the airport to be paralyzed for five hours.

The FPI crowd also gathered to greet Rizieq at his residence in the Petamburan area, Central Jakarta. The police were forced to close one lane on Jalan KS Tubun, Petamburan. One route that was closed was the route from Tanah Abang to Slipi.

When responding to the crowd, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria appealed to Rizieq Shihab’s sympathizers not to gather. The appeal to gather was made to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

“We ask everyone to pick them up so that they can be represented because there should not be a crowd that can cause the spread of Covid-19 itself,” said Riza after the Heroes’ Day Commemoration Ceremony at DKI Jakarta City Hall, last Tuesday.

Crowd at the commemoration of the Prophet’s birthday in Tebet

Three days after Rizieq’s return, FPI sympathizers and masses again held an activity that drew a crowd. This time, they held celebration of the Prophet’s Birthday Muhammad SAW in Tebet, South Jakarta, this Friday.

Reporting from a YouTube account Front TV, Rizieq Shihab and Riza Patria were seen attending the event. The video shows a crowd of people who do not apply the protocol to keep their distance.

Some people are seen not even wearing masks in the commemoration of the Prophet’s birthday.

When confirmed regarding the activity that invited the crowd, Head of the Jakarta Satpol PP Arifin said the government could only prioritize education related to crowd management.

“We prioritize education for all to continue carrying out what is called 3M, so education applies to all,” said Arifin when contacted.

Arifin said that there was no prohibition on religious activities during the PSBB transition as long as implementing health protocols so that activities run smoothly.

“I always suggest paying attention physical distancing, using masks and so on is obedience to carrying out religious orders, “said Arifin.
