Concerned about the Widespread Corona Virus Cases, Aming Conveys These Important Messages

Kapanlagi.com - The panic among the public caused by the spread of the corona virus has made Aming unable to stay silent. Through his personal Instagram account, Aming expressed his concern about the chaos triggered by several individuals.

Aming admits that he does not pretend to be a hero or seek popularity with his posts on social media. He is simply tired of dealing with people who take advantage of opportunities in difficult times, in this case, profiting from the widespread spread of the corona virus.

"That's why I feel like what, not pretending to be a hero or shouting to seek attention or anything. I'm not someone who wants to be famous and seek attention. Oh, it surpasses arrogance and what we have, because people have different fortunes. But it's tiring to deal with people like that, so it's okay. Because I'm really worried, I just criticized a few individuals yesterday," said Aming when met in the Kapten Tendean Street area, Mampang, South Jakarta, Wednesday (4/3).

 

 

1. Request for Media Cooperation

Aming admits to being puzzled by individuals who take advantage of inappropriate moments, such as when the coronavirus is rampant. This celebrity reminds that hoarding during difficult times can be punishable by 5 years imprisonment and a fine of Rp. 50 million. Aming urges these individuals to reflect on their actions and encourages the public to show more empathy towards others.

"In our country, why is it that every time something unpleasant happens, there is always an opportunity to sell. It's okay to sell things, but there will always be a more proper way. Don't hoard when it's difficult, don't go crazy because of the coronavirus. People already need the goods, but instead they are hoarded. Just be careful for those who hoard goods, I read that there is a law. There is a criminal provision in Article 107 no. 7 regarding trade, where people who intentionally hoard goods during difficult times will definitely be sentenced to 5 years in prison and a fine of 50 million. So, there is a legal basis for everything and don't feel like what you are doing is not violating anything. Show some empathy," said Aming about irresponsible individuals.

2. Request for Media Cooperation

In addition to regretting the actions of individuals who harm society, Aming also requests media cooperation to pay more attention to journalistic ethics. According to Aming, the media should protect suspected victims of the coronavirus, instead of disclosing detailed information that could harm those victims.

"For example, why publish the face and address of a suspected coronavirus patient? Even in developed countries, that information is protected. Why do we still stigmatize like that? Can you imagine if their face and address are published, they will be stigmatized as virus spreaders. They might even face persecution, so they should be protected. It's really unfortunate, they should be protected, that's why I ask my media friends to be more careful. Just imagine if we were in their position," said Aming to the media.
