Mahfud MD Watches Ikatan Cinta During PPKM, Netizens: Indonesia Baru Episode 2 Ikatan Pandemi

Kapanlagi.com - Indonesia is currently implementing Emergency PPKM in Java-Bali to suppress the spread of Covid-19. However, recently a tweet from Mahfud MD's Twitter account caught attention.

It turns out that the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs of Indonesia admitted to watching the soap opera Ikatan Cinta. He gave his comment on the story writer, which he felt was not appropriate.

Unfortunately, instead of receiving a positive response, netizens are criticizing the Minister for watching a soap opera while the fate of the people is at stake in the midst of a pandemic.

Mahfud MD wrote, "The PPKM allows me to watch the soap opera 'Ikatan Cinta.' It's quite entertaining, although a bit confusing. However, the legal understanding of the story writer is not accurate. Sarah, who confessed and asked to be punished for killing Roy, was immediately arrested. However, in criminal law, a confession is not strong evidence."

"Elsa is the killer of Roy. Sarah, Elsa's mother, confessed to being the killer and asked to be punished to protect Elsa. Well, in criminal law, not just anyone who confesses is immediately arrested. Otherwise, many people would commit crimes and then ask someone else to confess so that the real perpetrator is released," he added.

Mahfud MD's tweet was immediately bombarded by netizens on Twitter. They protested that the people are still experiencing difficulties during the pandemic while the Minister is busy watching soap operas.

Some also commented that Indonesia also has a soap opera called 'Ikatan Pandemi' (Pandemic Bond). Mahfud MD has not provided further clarification regarding his tweet. What do you think, KLovers?
