Kneeling at Mother’s Feet: Anies and Muhaimin Prove They’re More Than Presidential Candidates
KISSING the feet of a mother isn’t merely a belief that God’s blessings are tied to parental satisfaction. The AMIN pair seemingly seek a potent antidote from the widespread virus of indecency rampant among leaders and officials in the republic over this decade.
It wasn’t Anies’s thunderous speech or the awe-inspiring crowd during the AMIN pair’s registration at the KPU that stood out. The decorum and character displayed by Anies-Gus Imin while paying respects to their mother signified the moral eligibility and integrity of leaders promoting change.
No amount of wealth or high positions held by a child can compensate for a mother’s kindness. Regardless of a child’s accomplishments and stature, it cannot replace or even compare to what a mother has provided to her child.
For a mother, the happiness of a child is paramount, warranting any sacrifice necessary. Likewise, a child finds a mother’s sincerity and blessings more than enough to make life meaningful.
It’s not wealth, position, or social status that a mother desires for her child, but values and life principles. Some people may have everything in this world, but their lives barely benefit others, often neglecting even their mothers. Many live with limitations, yet with a conscious soul, managing to honor their mothers.
The Anies-Gus Imin pair were enchanting during the presidential-vice presidential registration at the KPU on October 19, 2023. It wasn’t the tense political atmosphere, Anies’s powerful speech, or the massive, incredible crowd that accompanied them.
The moment became extraordinary when Anies and Gus Imin began their registration process by paying respects and kissing the feet of Anies’s mother. It was not just a touching event but also conveyed a message of piety and obedience of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates to a mother.
The public might focus more on evaluating this part of the 2024 presidential agenda, with various analyses related to national political dynamics. Supporters and political opponents will have their own appreciation and reactions.
Politicians, academics, officials, and entrepreneurs are also keen on observing the dynamics of the Anies-Gus Imin registration. It might seem ordinary or merely traditional, but the AMIN pair’s act of paying respects and kissing the feet of Anies’s mother was different and profoundly meaningful, displaying the characters of the two leaders amidst national disorder and deviation.
The demeanor of the AMIN pair stands in contrast to the prevalent moral crisis and integrity deficiency seen in most leaders and officials in the governing regime for nearly a decade.
The regime, barren of moral and integrity, not only castrated democracy and manipulated the constitution but also legitimized all means to satisfy power lust, becoming a horde of leaders without manners and morals. Facing this reality, Anies and Gus Imin bring hopes of change and a better Indonesia.
Especially Anies, who often displays more of his humane and populist aspects. Amid the criticism storm in the 2024 presidential contest, Anies remains steadfast and patient.
There are no negative responses, no heartaches, no traces of revenge against the continuous character assassinations aimed at him. Anies consistently presents himself as calm, courteous, and optimistic against a barrage of vile issues, intrigues, and slander. He remains confident, even apologetic to those disheartened by him, as reflected in his registration speech.
More than a track record, works, and accomplishments. More than maturity and quality behavior in leadership. More than confidence and optimism to lead the nation out of crisis and instability in governance. Anies and Gus Imin aren’t just bringing promises and hopes of change.
Anies and Gus Imin have initiated something much more fundamental and radical before becoming President and Vice President. They’ve educated and enlightened, signaling that manners and morals should be essential and primary for all, especially for a leader.
By kissing the feet of their mother, Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar have already become more than just presidential and vice-presidential candidates even before the 2024 election commenced.Transformation of the people, nation, and state of Indonesia starts with changing the manners and morals of its leaders.
