Kalista Iskandar, Finalist of Miss Indonesia 2020, Considered Not Familiar with Pancasila, This is Najwa Shihab's Response

Kapanlagi.com - Kalista Iskandar, one of the finalists of Miss Indonesia 2020, is currently a hot topic of discussion. This is because the beautiful woman from West Sumatra appeared nervous and stumbled when answering questions about the content of Pancasila posed by the Chairman of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly, Bambang Soesatyo.

Despite receiving a lot of criticism from netizens, presenter and journalist Najwa Shihab has a different opinion on the matter. According to her, what Kalista experienced is normal. Moreover, it is her first time being watched by millions of Indonesian people during the Miss Indonesia 2020 event.

To cheer up Kalista Iskandar, Najwa Shihab shared her experience as a news presenter. She also made a quite fatal mistake in pronouncing her own name.

"There is a buzz about Kalista Iskandar, the representative of West Sumatra, who mistakenly mentioned Pancasila when answering a question from Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly, Bambang Soesatyo. It reminds me of my first live broadcast experience. I was extremely nervous. I even mispronounced my own name," wrote Najwa Shihab on her Instagram, Saturday (7/3/2020).

1. Making Mistakes During Coverage

Not just once, Najwa Shihab has also made mistakes during live coverage. In fact, the coverage was broadcasted live on one of the television broadcasts.

"I also remember my experience covering the tsunami disaster in Aceh. Because of the chaotic situation, I mistakenly referred to the city of Calang as Calung. After that live report, I was approached by a crying man, because he was still waiting for news from his family in the city that I mistakenly mentioned," Najwa Shihab continued.

Seeing Kalista's nervousness last night, Najwa understands exactly how she feels. Especially when she was only given a few seconds by the judges to answer the question.

"So I can understand the nervousness that is surely multiplied when faced by Kalista last night. Only given 30 seconds to answer amidst the loud cheers of the audience," Najwa wrote again.

3. Giving a Satire to the Chairman of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly

Not stopping there, Najwa also gave a satire to Bambang Soesatyo who questioned Kalista Iskandar's memorization of Pancasila. She told netizens that Bambang Soesatyo had also made a mistake when taking an oath.

"The Chairman of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly, Bambang Soesatyo, who last night asked about the memorization, has also been in a situation that is almost similar. When he was inaugurated as the Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives. Although it was not a memorization, because he was guided when taking the oath, but he also made a mistake in pronouncing the oath. Even three times. We are all humans after all. #Najwa'sNotes," she concluded.
