"The main point is that the same incident should not happen again, thus the policies of the central government and the Jakarta government will give full support," he asserted.

Regarding the teaching and learning activities at SMAN 72 after the incident, the Governor stated that the learning process is conducted online.

"The agency head has given me a report; indeed, today we are allowed to work remotely," he added.

He also highlighted bullying behavior that could trigger acts of violence in the school environment from happening again. However, he fully entrusted the police to thoroughly investigate the motives of the attacker.

He urged the community to wait for the official results of the investigation conducted by the police.

"So, the most important thing is that acts of bullying or harassment should not happen again because it can become a motivation or trigger," he stated.
