Nyaleg, Tri Sul is Political for the Quality of Education

Mamuju, Sulbarkita.com - Plunging into politics is the choice Tri Sulkarnain Ahmad, Deputy Chancellor IV of Tomakaka University faces the 2019 Election. The man born in Ujung Pandang, October 17, 1986 participated in the 2019 West Sulawesi Legislative Election.

Tri, who won number 1 from the Indonesian Change Movement Party (Garuda), will compete in the West Sulawesi V Electoral District, which includes Mamuju Regency. In the West Sulawesi capital, there are 9 seats that will be contested for candidates for DPRD members.

As an academic, Tri has good reason to jump into the political arena. The doctoral graduate or Doctor of Science at the Indonesian Muslim University was concerned about the people of West Sulawesi who are still having difficulty accessing quality education.

As a result, the people, especially the young generation of West Sulawesi, are difficult to stem the growing negative influence. For example, drug abuse has dragged many young people in West Sulawesi, "I am called to see this condition," he told Sulbarkita.com, when met at Café Moga, Jalan Abdul Syakur, Kelurahan of Karema, Mamuju, Wednesday, August 15, 2018.

As we know, the National Narcotics Agency noted that West Sulawesi was ranked 18th out of 34 provinces with the highest drug abuse rates in Indonesia. The prevalence of drug abuse is 1.70 percent of the total West Sulawesi population of 16,269 people in the age group of 10 - 59 years.

According to Tri, quality education will open public awareness especially the younger generation to improve their abilities. Even so avoid increasing bad influences. By the tap, he hoped to be able to push it through political channels. "Sulbar needs specific education to teach about good morals," he said.

In addition, Tri was also called upon to walk the legislative seat to foster public trust in the people's representatives. Because according to him, the community is experiencing degradation of trust to legislators because of their own actions.

He gave an example of a corruption case that shook the West Sulawesi DPRD before. As a result, a number of DPR leaders fell from their seats. He promised to avoid corrupt actions if later elected, "Things like this are damaging the image of the DPRD."

The son of the education figure Sulbar Ahmad Taufan also wanted to teach the community politically well. One of them is by campaigning for anti-envelope political attitudes or often called dawn attacks.

According to Tri, the West Sulawesi community should no longer be equated with merchandise that must be purchased. They must be independent in choosing their representatives and leaving a pragmatism attitude that is often exemplified by irresponsible politicians. "Such methods are not ethical because they value society with money."
