Concerned to See Residents Sleeping on the Streets Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Reza Arap Invites Renting a Basketball Court

Kapanlagi.com - The Covid-19 pandemic has become a severe challenge, not only for the public of the homeland but also for the whole world. In Indonesia itself, this epidemic, which has been categorized as a non-natural national disaster, has had such a negative impact on various sectors, especially the economy.

Millions of people have to be willing to be laid off by their respective companies or workplaces, which have to be temporarily closed. Unfortunately, when their income stops, their stomachs still need to be filled.

The same goes for housing that still needs to be paid for. Because they don't have money, many residents are willing to sleep on the sidewalks, as seen in the Tanah Abang area, Central Jakarta.

 

 

1. Invite Other Influencers to Extend Help

Seeing the heartbreaking condition, the heart of Reza Oktovian a.k.a Reza Arap was moved. The member of Weird Genius then invited some of his friends to lend a hand to those unfortunate people.

I can tell that they're good people. I'm calling out any influencers/selebgram/rich guys, one or two is enough. Let's rent a basketball court with me for 1-3 months for them to stay. If you see this tweet and have my phone number, text/call me. Or you can contact my IG. gassss https://t.co/hmqkrgRt9G— ???? (@YBRAP) April 23, 2020

Reza himself is still confused about how to help them. However, he believes that the most important thing is the intention first. Therefore, he hopes that many of his friends are willing to extend their help.

"Good people like them, who are already in difficulty but still have no thoughts of harming people on the streets, must be helped. I repeat, MUST be helped. Please capture my tweet above and give it to someone who you think is capable of helping. No need for many, two people are enough. As for the system of helping, if asked now, I don't know. What's important is let's just do it," he continued in several other tweets.

3. Being Contacted by Business Partners

When contacted by KapanLagi.com, Reza admitted that until now, no artist or influencer friends have contacted him. However, some of his business partners have started contacting him to discuss this good intention.

"There are no influencers, sis. It's actually my business relations who are contacting me," said Reza when contacted by KapanLagi.com via DM Twitter.

KLovers can also help by spreading Reza's tweet above to people around them who are relatively well-off. Because any help, no matter how small, is definitely valuable to those in need.

4. Anies Baswedan Moved by Reza Arap's Voice

In today's update, Monday (27/4), several top officials of the country began to contact Reza for his good initiative, such as one of them being the Governor of Jakarta, Anies Baswedan.

"Hello. A little update here. I just had a phone call with the Governor of Jakarta @aniesbaswedan. He said he saw my tweet and he appreciates my voice (of course, sir). Now, he and his team have started to prepare several sports halls, beds, and also 'Public Kitchen' food and other resources," wrote Reza in his tweet.
