Kiky Saputri Speaks Candidly About Honorary Teacher Salaries, Gives Realistic Answer When Asked If She Will Return to Teaching

The background of Kiky Saputri as a teacher is no longer a public secret. Before her name soared on the Stand Up Comedy stage, this woman from Garut dedicated herself to the world of education as an Indonesian language teacher. However, behind this noble profession, Kiky harbors bitter experiences regarding the welfare of honorary teachers, which is still far from adequate.

Kiky openly revealed the amount of salary she received while still serving as an honorary teacher. The figure is considered very small to meet living needs in a big city, even far below the Regional Minimum Wage (UMR).
