The Issue of Empty Market in Tanah Abang, Oppie Kumis: Don't Blame Each Other

Kapanlagi.com - Comedian Oppie Kumis also commented on the phenomenon happening in Tanah Abang Market, which is now said to be empty of buyers. This is mentioned because many influencers and public figures are now selling online on the TikTok application.

In this case, Oppie compares it to his profession as a comedian, which of course involves competition. However, Oppie never worries about it because he believes that God has arranged the sustenance for every servant.

"Actually, we don't need to worry about such things because Allah has already determined our sustenance. Comedians are not just me, there are Kiwil, A, B, C," said Oppie Kumis when met in the area of Jalan Kapten Tendean, Mampang, South Jakarta, on Friday (22/9/2023).

"But I never have fear because Allah has already determined each person's sustenance. I can perform at one event, but others may not, we just leave it to fate," added Oppie Kumis.

1. Rezeki Sudah Diatur

In addition, Oppie also compares it to a merchant in the market. Even though they sell the same goods, they never get angry at each other even if there are no buyers coming to their stalls.

"God has already arranged it, our hearts are moved to buy from that lady, we will definitely buy from that lady. We will definitely buy, no one fights because you sell chili on TikTok," explained Opie.

2. Selling Online is Fine

According to Oppie, in this digital age, it is fine to sell online. Moreover, such activities do not violate the law.

"My response is actually, as long as it doesn't violate any laws, then it's allowed. As a society, we are free to shop on TikTok, at Pasar Tanah Abang, at Jatinegara, we are free," emphasized Opie Kumis.

3. Hoping to Avoid Blaming Each Other

In this case, Oppie can only advise the sellers at Tanah Abang Market to always be patient and resigned. Opie also hopes that they will not blame each other for the situation there.

"Anyone who is selling at Tanah Abang Market, even if it is quiet, we must be resigned. Don't blame each other, don't blame artist and all that, no need," Oppie concluded.
