4. The ranks of the DKI Provincial Government until Ahok Grieves
The death of the late Saefullah left grief in the hearts of many parties, especially the ranks of the DKI Jakarta provincial government and those who had worked with Saefullah. One of them is the former Governor of DKI, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok).
Ahok also mourned the death of DKI Regional Secretary Saefullah. One of the reasons that makes Ahok very sad is because he was the one who chose Saefullah to be the DKI Regional Secretary.
“I’m also sorry and I decided to choose him to be the regional secretary,” said Ahok.
In Ahok’s eyes, Saefullah is a person who is hardworking and fast. That reason is why Ahok appointed Saefullah to be Secretary.
5. Message from the deceased’s wife
Via Instagram, the Governor’s wife Anies Baswedan, Fery Farhati forwarded the message from Saefullah’s wife, Mrs. Hj. Rusmiati Saefullah. Apparently the Saefullah family asked not to send a wreath as a sign of mourning, because it was better if the funds were donated in the name of the deceased.
“Forwarding the message from Mrs. Hj. Rusmiati Saefullah, the wife of the deceased, the family advised that they DO NOT need to send bouquets to the funeral home. The family hopes that what was originally used for bouquets would be better used as alms and intended on behalf of the deceased. Thank you,” wrote Fery Farhati, reported by Instagram, Wednesday (16/8/2020).
