Gibran Apologizes When These Netizens Criticize, 'This Is The Mayor Who Fired Little Wong!'

JAKARTA - It is easy to criticize local officials in the era of information disclosure. Residents can directly submit criticisms through social media platforms, input as well as reports if they find things that are suspected of violating legal provisions.

As shown by the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, in the face of criticism from one netizen regarding his actions during his leadership.

This warganet protested against Gibran who was considered to like to fire. In fact, Gibran's position is the result of the people's choice.

"This is a walkot who fired the little people a little, remember, you were chosen by the little ones, mas, asih tresna kuwi fosters," criticized the account with the name @BerkahDalem9 directly to Gibran's Twitter, @gibran_tweet quoted on Wednesday, December 29.

Not explained in detail by @BerkahDalem9 the dismissal in question. However, some time ago, Gibran fired the Batik Solo Trans (BST) driver who was caught sending an impolite message to one of the passengers.

The opening of this case was due to the courage of the residents who dared to convey to the public the contents of the conversations between drivers and victims of sexual harassment. For Gibran, the three-day suspension from the management side was not enough, so he had to be fired.

With the criticism from the netizens, Gibran immediately gave a quick response. Instead of getting angry, or asking in detail about the case of dismissal, the eldest son of President Joko Widodo gave an unexpected reply. With polite language, Gibran apologized to the critics.

"Yes sir. I'm sorry," said Gibran.
