This is Ahmad Dhani's Controversial Proposal on the Naturalization of Football Players, Susi Pudjiastuti Also Comments

Kapanlagi.com - Ahmad Dhani, a musician and member of the Indonesian House of Representatives, recently became the center of public attention after proposing a controversial idea regarding the naturalization program for football players. During the meeting of Commission X of the House of Representatives on March 5, 2025, Dhani suggested that the government naturalize football players over the age of 40 who are widowers and match them with Indonesian women.

"Football players who are over 40 years old can also be naturalized, then we can match them with Indonesian women. Then we nurture their children, Sir. I am sure the results will be better because they are Indonesia born. This idea is out of the box, but it can be budgeted for the 2026 program," explained Ahmad Dhani in the Commission X meeting, as seen from the TikTok account @amanat.institute.

1. Suggest to Search for Players with Similar Ethnicity to the Indonesian Community

Not only that, Al Ghazali's father suggests that PSSI look for players from Korea or Africa who resemble the ethnicity of the Indonesian community. What do you think, KLovers?

"My suggestion is to reduce the number of foreign players (those with blonde hair, blue eyes), in my opinion, it doesn't look good for Indonesia. If possible, look for those who have a similar ethnicity to us, whether from Korea or Africa. It doesn't matter if there are many, as long as their skin color is still the same as ours," explained Mulan Jameela's husband at a meeting of Commission X of the DPR, as seen from the Instagram account @pengamat sepakbola.

2. Susi Pudjiastuti Gives Comment

Ahmad Dhani's proposal is very controversial. He has received a lot of backlash from the Indonesian public. He is deemed sexist, racist, and degrading to women's dignity. Susi Pudjiastuti, the former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of Indonesia, also commented through her personal X account @susipudjiastuti.

"What someone says reflects what is in their head," wrote Susi Pudjiastuti.
