Kapanlagi.com - The case of Gus Miftah, who sparked controversy after mocking iced tea sellers at a religious event, has become a hot topic in the public eye. His remarks are not only considered degrading but also quickly spread on social media, triggering a wave of criticism and calls for an apology. Many have even urged for Gus Miftah to be removed from his position as the President's Special Envoy.
Interestingly, this incident also ties back to President Prabowo Subianto's speeches, which often praise street vendors as noble and honest figures. Those speeches have now gone viral again across various platforms, reminding us all of the importance of appreciating the efforts of small people.
This polemic has now expanded into a national issue, involving politicians, religious leaders, and the general public. So, how did this case actually begin? And what steps has Gus Miftah taken to quell this growing controversy?
On November 20, 2024, Gus Miftah became the center of attention when he attended the Magelang Bersholawat event, where he jokingly mocked a tea vendor.
However, his joke was considered degrading and even sounded like an insult.
This moment immediately went viral on social media, triggering a wave of sharp criticism from netizens who did not remain silent, expressing concern over the humiliation experienced by the vendor.
After the video went viral, the social media world was immediately filled with various comments from disappointed netizens regarding Gus Miftah's attitude, a figure who should be a role model as a religious leader and state official.
This topic even shook the X (Twitter) platform, garnering over 45 thousand tweets and trending.
Many voices demanded Gus Miftah to promptly apologize to the involved tea vendor, while others urged for his position as Special Envoy of the President to be revoked.
The Gerindra Party has responded firmly to the viral video, asking Gus Miftah to apologize to the iced tea seller who became the subject of jokes.
In their statement, Gerindra emphasized that Gus Miftah's actions do not reflect the values upheld by the Chairman Prabowo Subianto.
"With all humility, we ask Gus @gusmiftah to apologize to Mr. Iced Tea Seller. What Gus did is not in line with the teachings of Mr. @prabowo," wrote the official Instagram account of the Gerindra Party, @gerindra, on Tuesday (3/12).
The post also included a video showing Prabowo speaking about the importance of respecting small communities, such as street vendors and motorcycle taxi drivers.
Prabowo emphasized how noble these individuals are, who struggle every day to provide for their families.
"I have great respect for street vendors, motorcycle taxi drivers, and meatball sellers. They fight every day for their families," stressed Prabowo, reminding us all of the vital role of small businesses as the backbone of the community's economy.
On December 4, 2024, an emotional atmosphere unfolded when Gus Miftah visited Sonhaji, an iced tea vendor, to deliver his apology in person.
In that warm moment, Gus Miftah expressed that his initial intention was merely to joke, but unfortunately, his words were interpreted differently.
With an open heart, Sonhaji accepted the apology, affirming that he had forgiven Gus Miftah, both physically and spiritually, marking the end of a misunderstanding that had disturbed the peace between them.
The call to remove Gus Miftah from his position is growing stronger, as many netizens believe that his actions do not reflect the values that should be upheld by a Special Presidential Envoy.
To this day, this polemic has become a hot topic that is continuously discussed across various platforms, from social media to discussion forums.
During a religious event, he jokingly mocked a tea vendor, which immediately sparked negative reactions and went viral on social media.
This action was deemed disrespectful, igniting a debate among netizens about ethics and respect in interacting with others.
Although Prabowo has not made a direct statement, his speech praising small traders has once again captured attention after being shared by the official Gerindra social media account.
The message seems to revive the spirit of appreciating the struggles and dedication of small business actors, demonstrating the party's commitment to support them in facing economic challenges.
With deep regret, he approached the iced tea vendor and expressed his apology directly.
As of this moment, no official decision has been issued, although public voices are growing louder and demanding certainty.
