PDI-P chairman Megawati Sukarnoputri rampage over the building plans North Bali International Airport. It turns out that Megawati’s rampage was not without reason.
Megawati’s rampage started with a protest she conveyed regarding plans to build an airport in Bali. Megawati even asked Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung about the plan.
“I said, lo, with Pram (Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung). Pram, really please, this is for the people of Bali. I said, don’t think about yourself. The island of Bali has only a few residents, so only investors want to come here. I want my Balinese people to become entrepreneurs and so on,” said Megawati in a written statement from the PDIP, Monday (16/1).
“We are an independent, sovereign country. The people are free and active, free, uh, they still want to be slaves. Delivered to Mr. Jokowi. If this is allowed to be written. If you want to be scolded by Mr. Jokowi, I will be angry again. Later, you will be told that Ms. Mega is showing her strength. Ouch, this person is for the people ,” he added.
The daughter of RI’s 1st President Sukarno said that the Governor of Bali, I Wayan Koster, along with his deputy and former Minister of Tourism Wishnutama Kusubandio had also explained about this development.
“I said no. I represent the people of Bali. So if you dare, let Bali be the only island with the PDI Perjuangan. Why do you imagine not just wasting money,” said Megawati.
Megawati emphasized that she had reasons for refusing at that time because she was still in the COVID-19 pandemic situation. The funds, said Megawati, could be allocated to help the people of Bali. In fact, he continued, he had also provided input to the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi, namely that instead of building a new airport, it would be better to utilize Ngurah Rai Airport.
“I asked Mr. Budi Karya, actually Ngurah Rai was what was wrong with the runway being made again? Try asking me now, if there is Buleleng (New Airport in North Bali), with yesterday’s pandemic until now, are you not drunk? Who is which is there?” said Megawati.
Apart from that, he sees that there will be congestion in Bali if the North Bali Airport is realized. “In Ngurah Rai yes, in Buleleng yes, isn’t it stuffy, are the Balinese people all foreigners coming?” said Megawati.
He also said that he had thought of an alternative. For example, those who want to go to Bali can get off at Banyuwangi or in Surabaya.
“Why? It gives people to be able to be in three places. From Surabaya he is staying overnight, from Banyuwangi and crossing to Gilimanuk, this can continue,” said Megawati.
Because of that, it’s only natural if he feels angry if the people don’t benefit. “Ms. Mega went berserk. Yes, it’s the people who want to be helped or, sorry, the rich people? Many Balinese people are smart, you know,” said Megawati.
