From Subdistrict Head to Governor: The Long Public Service Journey of Danny Setiawan

Because Danny was mostly on bed rest over the last two years, the family rarely visited the cemetery.

Prior to the burial, the family returned to clean and arrange the gravesite.

“When Dad began bed rest, we rarely came here. So this time, we needed to tidy up the cemetery, since grass had grown here,” Rio said.

According to Rio, the site was from the beginning intended as the family burial ground.

“Just finding the right place. I guess it would be for Dad and later Mom. It has been prepared from the start,” he said.

Amidst the grief, Rio asked the people of West Java to pray for Danny and forgive any mistakes he made during his service as a public official.

“Please pray for him for the people of West Java. May Allah SWT grant him a smooth path to heaven,” Rio said.

“And please forgive any mistakes he may have made while carrying out his duties back then,” he added.
