Giring Ganesha Undergoes Training at the Military Academy in Magelang, Child Cries Thinking He Is Going to War

Kapanlagi.com - Giring Ganesha, who is now serving as the Deputy Minister of Culture, is currently undergoing training at the Military Academy (Akmil) in Magelang, Central Java, along with the Red and White Cabinet. This training is part of his new duties in the government assigned directly by President Prabowo Subianto.

Giring recounted the moment he was informed about joining this training. He revealed that early in the morning before his inauguration, he received news from his child stating that there were representatives from the Army and Air Force coming to their home.

"The funniest part was when early in the morning before I was inaugurated at almost 12, suddenly Zidan called out, 'Dad, dad, there are two people from the Army and Air Force here.' I said, 'oh, that's a lie.' But it turned out to be true," said Giring when met at the Ministry of Education and Culture building in Senayan recently.

1. Provided Equipment

Then, President Prabowo Subianto's team also provided equipment that Giring will use during the training in Magelang.

"There are uniforms, shoes, hats, undergarments, all for preparation later in Magelang," said Giring.

2. New and Enjoyable Experience

For Giring, this experience is something new and enjoyable. The singer, known for the song 'Laskar Pelangi', admitted to being very enthusiastic about participating in this activity. Not only is he happy with the new experience, but Giring also feels pleased to bond with members of the Merah Putih Cabinet while in Magelang.

"So happy. This is a new experience. When else can you wear a uniform like that, bonding with others in the tent, it must be really fun," he said.

3. Thought He Was Going to War

However, there was a funny moment when his daughter, Jasmina, saw Giring wearing military clothes. Jasmina cried because she thought her father was going to war. Giring then tried to explain to his daughter that he was not going to war.

"Jasmina even asked, 'Are you going to war, dad?' I replied, 'No way, who wants to go to war?' Then she said, 'Are you going to parachute?' She doesn't understand the concept yet. I said, 'You can call later, there's WiFi,'" Giring said while laughing.

4. Hope in the Provision

Although initially confused, Giring ensured that now his children, especially Jasmina, have started to understand his new job as Deputy Minister of Culture. He hopes this provision can bring great benefits for his role in the government, especially having the opportunity to wear a military uniform. If not now, when else?
