"Habib doesn't use social media. So, Habib didn't know that the escalator went viral. Why did Habib say it's tacky because there are many escalators in our country. He didn't know that the escalator went viral," said Kartika, who was met at her residence in Cipete, South Jakarta, on Thursday (20/6/2024).

Furthermore, Habib Usman Bin Yahya said that the comment about the escalator reflexively came out of his mouth. Because he is used to using that word to comment on things that he finds strange.

"I am originally from Kampung Melayu. For example, if there is something like 'Hey, don't be so much like a person from Kampung Melayu'. That's because I am indeed from the village, and our language is like that. I don't understand at all (about going viral)," added Habib.
