In this moment recorded by @cecesunandar163, a funny moment can be seen between Paspampres and Jan Ethes. As is known, the Presidential Security Force, also known as Paspampres, always follows the activities of the President of Indonesia. Therefore, Paspampres always accompanies Jokowi in his activities.
In the video, a Paspampres can be seen busy chasing Jan Ethes who wants to catch up with his grandfather. Without his mother and ignoring the consequences if he speeded, Jan Ethes tried to catch up with his grandfather. To keep Jan Ethes awake, the Paspampres got off his bicycle and ran after him.
" The moment Jan Ethes was speeding to chase Mbah Jokowi, Paspampres was overwhelmed when President Jokowi was surrounded by the people of Yogyakarta ," wrote @cecesunandar163.
