What are Indonesian people comments on Sadiq Khan?. They compare him with Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (aka Ahok), the governor of Jakarta.
There are similarities between them. They lead capital city, come from ethnic of minority which descendant of immigrants, embrace religion of minority. If Sadiq Khan is Muslim from Pakistani ethnic, Ahok is Christian from Chinese ethnic.
The difference. Sadiq Khan become London city mayor because won the election, Ahok became Jakarta governor by system. The previous governor, Joko Widodo, elected as president. So Ahok the vice governor became governor. Another difference. Christian community in Indonesia fully support Ahok. While Muslims in UK split into those who support Sadiq Khan and those who against him.
I can't predict what will happen to Sadiq Khan, but Ahok receive many 'attacks'. From few Muslim groups that urge him to resign, and from racist people who always make racist comments on him in social medias.
