The attack of netizens in the midst of the heated political atmosphere is what made Muhammad Khairi's wife decide not to accept dozens of job offers as a presenter or roaster.

She seemed unwilling to think about netizens' opinions and wants to accept MC or roasting offers from future political parties.

“Although if you think about it, it's a halal and professional job. All events from all candidates offer, without any binding requirement to support them. Alright, starting tomorrow, I'll accept them all. (That's it. Venting alone, making my own decision),” concluded Kiky Saputri.
