If we refer to the motion, With all due respect, I can't agree to that. And I bag to differ.

Because there are 2 points that we will discuss here :


 Everyone's right to express or giving opinion
If we discuss the world of politics, in the world of politics, there are some of
rules. If we talk about politics in Indonesia, of course, the political world in Indonesia
has rules regarding politics. And The connection with the motion that we are
discussing right now is. in Indonesia, especially in UUD 1945 in Pasal 28E paragraph
(3) which states that "everyone has the right to freedom of association, assembly and
expression"or setiap orang berhak atas kebebasan berserikat, berkumpul dan
mengeluarkan pendapat . and in Pancasila on 5th sila said that "Social justice for all
Indonesian people"or keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat indonesia. Therefore, Based
on the pasal and the 5th sila above, we can understand that all Indonesian people have
the right to express or delivering opinions, and do not rely on that person's
background. Even that he was an artists as well or from ulama' or religious leaders.
Not only people with a high titles who can have ideas, who can deliver their opinions,
so people said that he will be worthy of entering into the world of politics and
blablabla, if we look subjectively, we can say that, the opinion above is correct. But,
when we look objectively there are many Indonesian citizens, especially an Ulama or
religious leader who has competent and highly intellectual thoughts. We can take an
example, not far from us and surely many people know about him, yes Tuan Guru
Bajang, TGKH Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Majid . who have many achievements
in the world of politics, which we will discuss in the second point.
 Ulama or religious leaders who has a lot of Achievements or excel in politics
As a little spoiler that I have given in the first point, there are so many Ulama
or religious leaders who are involved in the world of politics, but to save time, here I
take only one person as an example of an accomplished religious leader such as:
1. TGKH. Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Majid
His role in politics is very familiar, not a few people who know his
background. Yes, he is a great Ulama in the West Nusa Tenggara area who
was become a governor of west nusa tenggara for 2 terms of office, from 2008
till 2018, in his political work , he served as a member of the DPR RI in the
bulan bintang political group since 2004 till 2009 and was assigned to
commission 10. During his leadership, West Nusa Tenggara began to move
forward, especially regarding infrastructure in West Nusa Tenggara. Even the
Minister of National Development Planning or Bappenas or Badan
Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional said that the leadership of Tuan Guru
Bajang succeeded in making a phenomenal achievement for a governor in
dealing with poorness case. just Imagine, from the poorness rate of 24 percent
in 2008, it fell 10 percent to 14.7 percent in 2018. This is not an easy
achievement for many people. Even the economic case growth has reached 7
percent.. We can no longer doubt his performance. So, what else can make our
belief decrease towards ulama or religious leaders to become politicians.
Overall it may be said that everyone has the right to have an opinion or
to express themselves regardless of the person's background, even in the UUD
1945 and Pancasila, this has been stipulated. So, whoever it is, he has the right
to get his rights, who knows that a religious leader also has great potential in
the world of politics, he may even advance and prosper the people he leads.
