Hi everybody. Introducing myself, my name is Theophilus Sinaga and I come from Indonesia to be precise to the city of Medan. Today, the weekly #openmic has entered its 135th week with the theme Against Oppression. This theme was chosen by 
In this week's theme, I performed a cover song entitled "Deputy of the People" by Iwan Fals. In my opinion, this song is suitable for this week's theme because this song is a message to all members of the DPR to see the problems that occur in the lives of their people. Providing ideas that can change the fate and problems that exist among the people. People's representatives should be able to populate the people, don't just be close to the people before being elected, but after being elected the people's representatives seem to have forgotten their promises to the people. All the people depend on the policies made by the representatives of the people who meet in the House of Representatives building. Do not say "yes agree" without knowing the impact of the policy on people's lives. Because the people hope for their elected representatives who make promises to prosper people's lives.
The lyrics in this song are to awaken the people's representatives who have not carried out their duties properly by their true functions and goals. Many people hope that the people's representatives voice what the people are worried about (not their business), without feeling afraid to express their opinion. On the other hand, they are also elected by the people, so they should have voiced and heard what the people are complaining about.
Indonesian Lyric
Untukmu yang duduk sambil diskusi
Untukmu yang biasa bersafari
Di sana, di gedung DPR
Wakil rakyat kumpulan orang hebat
Bukan kumpulan teman teman dekat
Apalagi sanak famili
Di hati dan lidahmu kami berharap
Suara kami tolong dengar lalu sampaikan
Jangan ragu jangan takut karang menghadang
Bicaralah yang lantang jangan hanya diam
Di kantong safarimu kami titipkan
Masa depan kami dan negeri ini
Dari Sabang sampai Merauke
Saudara dipilih bukan dilotre
Meski kami tak kenal siapa saudara
Kami tak sudi memilih para juara
Juara diam, juara he'eh, juara ha ha ha
Wakil rakyat seharusnya merakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat
Wakil rakyat bukan paduan suara
Hanya tahu nyanyian lagu "setuju"
English Lyric
For those of you who sit while discussing
For those of you who are used to safari
There, in the capitol
Representatives of the people a collection of great people
Not a group of close friends
Especially relatives
In your heart and tongue we hope
Please hear our voices and convey them
Don't hesitate, don't be afraid of coral blocking
Speak loudly, don't just stay silent
We leave it in your safari bag
Our future and this country
From Sabang to Merauke
Siblings are chosen not in a lottery
Even though we don't know who you are
We don't want to pick a winner
Silent champion, he'eh champion, ha ha ha champion
Representatives of the people should be populist
Do not sleep during the hearing on the people
People's representatives are not a choir
Only know the singing of the song "agree"
