Triggering Polemics of the Word 'Anjay', Lutfi Agizal: I'm Afraid This Nation is in Crisis of Critical People

Kapanlagi.com - Lutfi Agizal suddenly became the center of attention after vocalizing concerns about the use of the word 'Anjay'. The word commonly used as an expression of admiration is considered to have a negative meaning and could damage the moral values of the nation's children.

The action taken by Lutfi immediately received opposition not only from the general public, but also from public figures. So, what is the response of this 25-year-old guy who is called 'lebay' or exaggerated?

"Where is the exaggeration? I made this not to determine who is right or wrong. But 'Oh, here is a new insight from a good perspective'. That sentence can be used when the timing is right and correct, but it can potentially hurt people's feelings. I am preventing misuse," said Lutfi when met in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (1/9/2020).

1. Afraid of Crisis for Critical People

Furthermore, Lutfi Agizal said that his criticism of the word 'Anjay' is something that should be done. Because if not, there will be few people who dare to speak up when they see something wrong.

"I am opening up insights. Look, if opening up insights is done wrong by the children of the nation, I am afraid that there will be no critical thinking people to open up insights. I am afraid that this nation will face a crisis of critical people," he emphasized.

2. Stop Criticizing 'Anjay'

Because his action of criticizing the word 'Anjay' has attracted the attention of government agencies, Lutfi Agizal chose to stop discussing it. Because now the authority for that is in the hands of the right people.

"I will stop, I respect the agencies if they are concerned, let them handle it because they are more authorized, even though it is the responsibility of all of us," he said.

"Actually, teaching something positive is not only the responsibility of parents, but also the responsibility of the entire Indonesian society. Because if we want the next generation to be better, the responsibility lies with us. I have given an example," concluded the lover of Iis Dahlia's daughter.
