The Boat That Anies Baswedan Was Carrying And The Entourage Capsized On The River, Really?

JAKARTA - The Puspa Kencana Facebook account made netizens excited by uploading a video to the Information About President Joko Widodo (PROJO) Facebook group recently.

In the video, the group is seen riding a boat. The uploader said that DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was in the boat.

"The video is claimed to be Anies Baswedan's entourage who was riding a boat on a river and the boat overturned," wrote the account quoted from turnbackhoax, Thursday, November 25.

Is the video true?

After doing some searching, it's not true. The person in the video is not Anies Baswedan, but Surendra Pataji who is the Mayor of Panaji, India.

"The incident occurred in 2016 on the St. Inez River, and it was because of an overload that the boat overturned," wrote turnbackhoax.

Thus, the narrative uploaded to the Information about Joko Widodo (PROJO) Facebook group by the Puspa Kencana account does not match the facts and falls into the category of false context or the wrong context.
