'This Is Really An Insult,' Denny Siregar Got Angry When Bossman Mardigu Posted The Ragil And Menag Yaqut Meme

JAKARTA - Social media activist Denny Siregar was furious when he learned of an Instagram upload from one of the entrepreneurs Mardigu Wowiek Prasantyo.

How not, in Bossman Sontoloyo's post, Mardigu's nickname, a meme appears with the faces of the Minister of Religion (Menag) Yaqut Cholil Qoumas with Ragil Mahardika.

The name Ragil was widely discussed by the public after appearing on Deddy Corbuzier's podcast some time ago which raised the theme of LGBT. At that time Ragil was accompanied by a same-sex partner, Fred.

In the meme uploaded by Bossman Sontoloyo, the Minister of Religion can be seen embracing the person concerned while giving a thumbs up. The narration in the meme is also provocative, namely "Hi, I'm Ragil who appears on the Deddy Corbuzier podcast, that's you. hmmmm." Not only that, there were writings that stated that Ragil was a cadre of the German branch of Ansor.

"You got a meme like this, is it true? Or is it a hoax.. is there any news, sorry," said Bossman Sontoloyo on his blue tick Instagram account, @mardiguwp seen Friday, May 13.

Through his Twitter account, Denny criticized Bossman Sontoloyo's post. "This is really an insult.." tweeted Denny @Dennysiregar7.

Another social media activist, Yusuf Muhammad, made a similar criticism via Twitter @yusuf_dumdum. According to him, Mardigu has participated in spreading false news or hoaxes.

"Loh Mardigu, ghosts have participated in spreading hoaxes to attack NU. It seems that the country can be destroyed, not because of economic factors, but because of hoaxes that are ingrained.

The suggestion for the DPR and the government is to make a law if you spread a hoax twice, you will immediately cut your hand, how about it?" Yusuf tweeted.
