"A presidential candidate intimidating the common people verbally is a big problem, what's wrong with native fishermen becoming candidates, there is even no constitution that needs to be changed to make fishermen become candidates," said Ramli, Friday, February 9, 2024, quoted from merdeka.com. Ramli also compared Prabowo's attitude with vice presidential candidate (cawapres) number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka."

He emphasized that Sappe is a native fisherman in the Parepare area, South Sulawesi. "Please, Mr. Prabowo, do not mock the small people, Sappe is a native fisherman, we can even compare which one is fake, Sappe the fisherman or the fake vice president candidate Prabowo," he concluded.

"Previously, Prabowo Subanto stated that candidates who disguised themselves as fishermen deserve to receive the Citra Award and the Oscar Award. He emphasized that the free lunch program is very important for the health of young people. He conveyed this during a political speech at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium, Thursday, February 8, 2024."

"There are some who disagree, there are some who disagree, there are some who pretend to be fishermen. Dare to do so, O Lord, pretending to be fishermen, pretending to be farmers, and saying that we don't need free meals (program). That, that is being proposed to receive the Citra Award, I, I am instead proposing to receive the Oscar," said Prabowo. "That's good enough, what is it, he doesn't need to, he shouldn't become a legislative candidate, what should he become, what is it, a star, a soap opera star," he added.
