Press Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia after Inspection of Dukuh Kupang Market, Surabaya City, East Java Province, September 20, 2024

Reporter

How was the market inspection today, Sir?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

I just stopped by to check the prices. Everything seems fine. I noted the price of eggs at Rp24,00 and cayenne pepper at Rp35,000. I think the prices are good, possibly due to the excess supply.

Reporter

Sir, you came here two weeks ago, right? You bade farewell to the local community at that time. Will you do that today as well?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

No, I just came here to check the prices.

Reporter

Is it true that you will not attend the National Sports Week (PON) closing ceremony, Sir?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

The one who will attend the closing ceremony is Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture.

Reporter

Regarding your personal data that was leaked by Bjorka, do you have any response, Sir?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

Yesterday, I requested that it should be mitigated immediately, all of them. Many countries are also experiencing the same problem. I think the most important thing is to mitigate it as soon as possible so that it will not happen again. (AW/EP)
