JAKARTA. Vice President Jusuf Kalla has viewed the latest grumblings of former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) via the latter’s twitter account as his own personal opinion.
“Twitter is a personal matter. So, let [him express his opinion]. We don’t have to agree or disagree with him,” Kalla said in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Sunday as reported by kompas.com.
SBY, whose son Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono is a candidate for the Jakarta gubernatorial election in February, recently tweeted his view on the current state of the nation. His tweet was ended with *SBY*, meaning that he himself wrote it.
“Allah, The one and only God. How has the country become like this? Disseminators of slander and hoaxes are in power and prevailing. When will people and the weak win? *SBY*,” he wrote on his account.

Kalla further said that anyone could express his or her personal opinion as far as they do not violate the law, adding that he was not disturbed by SBY’s opinion.
“It’s OK, we take it as input,” Kalla said.
In the wake of mass demonstrations that took place in Jakarta late last year, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo invited and met with various political party chairpersons and national leaders at the presidential palace, however, SBY was notably not one of them.
