Jakarta, Gus Miftah is currently the center of media attention after mocking a beverage vendor with words deemed inappropriate. On social media, many people are also speaking out loudly about this issue, one of whom is Joko Anwar.
Although he did not explicitly mention names, it is strongly suspected that Joko Anwar is discussing this issue based on his statements. The director of the film Pengabdi Setan was saddened by the current state of the country.
According to him, a figure should teach and set a good example to create a positive impact.
“Indonesia is lacking in exemplary figures. Many leaders, guardians, and educators, who should set a good example, instead belittle others,” said Joko Anwar, quoted from his personal X account on Wednesday (4/12/2024).
“And this is not only defended and normalized by their supporters.” But celebrated. (Still feel nauseated every time I see that man laughing hysterically while the person next to him mocks someone trying to make a living),” he continued.
Given a Place of Honor
Joko Anwar couldn’t fathom why such negative behavior could be normalized and even considered acceptable by a handful of people. He opined that someone with such conduct does not deserve to hold a position.
“And then they say, that’s just how his humor is.” “It’s crazy that people like this still have a respectable place in this country,” Joko Anwar concluded.
