Taufan Azis Who Made A Viral Video, A Broken Mirror Was Beaten By Paspampres And Ended Up Signing An Apology On A Stamp Of Rp. 10 Thousand

JAKARTA - Social media was shocked by a video of a man complaining to President Joko Widodo because his rearview mirror was damaged and hit by Paspampres on the toll road. It wasn't until a few days later that the man finally admitted he was wrong and apologized.

This warganet is driving a car on what is suspected to be a toll road. But the exact position is not clear. In the video shared, he is seen in the slow lane and to his right is the presidential motorcade.

"Mr. Jokowi, please sir, that's the entourage, sir. Just pass by, sir, you don't have to break the mirror, sir," he said. A moment later the video contains an image of his car's rearview mirror which has been cracked.

It was later discovered that the driver of the car named Taufan Aziz is 28 years old and lives in the Tapsos area, Depok. Head of the Presidential Secretariat Heru Budi Hartono confirmed the incident but he also distributed Taufan's apology letter. How come?

The letter was made on December 27, 2021 and is on a stamp of 10,000. He admitted that he had blocked Jokowi's entourage because his car was too right because he was holding a cellphone.

"It's true that I used my cellphone to record a video so that my car turned to the right and almost touched the motorcycle. Because of this, the motorcyclist had to be reminded by hand by the motorcyclist which resulted in the right mirror of my car breaking," he wrote.

Taufan apologized for causing a stir on social media and eventually it went viral. He also admitted that all the damage to his car had been replaced by Paspampres.

"Therefore I apologize for my actions. Hopefully it can be a lesson to all Indonesian people so that it doesn't happen again," he said.
