The Regent And Deputy Regent Of Rohil Almost Had A Fight With Jotos During The Penghulu Inauguration Event

A video recording has circulated showing the Regent of Rokan Hilir (Rohil) Regency, Riau Afrizal Sintong almost having a fight with the Deputy Regent (Wabup) Sulaiman. This footage has gone viral on social media.

The commotion between the number one and number two people in Rohil occurred during the inauguration of the Acting Temporary Officer (Pjs) Penghulu Datin and Datuk Penghulu on Jalan Lintas Pesisir, Pedamaran II Bridge, Pekaitan District, Rohil, Thursday, February 1.

Judging from the recording, these two officials almost got into a fight during the dance ceremony. At that time the two sat side by side.

The two were involved in serious talks until finally the regent stood up to push his deputy. That's when there was a pushing action that they were finally separated by a brown uniformed person.

Deputy Regent Sulaiman felt unhappy and pushed a man in a hat who tried to calm him down. Until finally the Deputy Regent of Sulaiman was led away from the inauguration location.

On another occasion, it was seen that Deputy Regent Sulaiman gave information to the media crew.

"The first thing to push is the regent. I appointed the regent because I said don't interfere. Just look at the video, let people see the real video, don't like to reverse the facts," said Sulaiman.

Meanwhile, the Regent of Rokan Hilir Afrizal Sintong in his written statement apologized to all the people present for this incident.

"For the slight disturbance, on behalf of the Regional Government, we apologize to the public for the inconvenience," said the Regent.

He explained that initially the inauguration ceremony for dozens of Acting Datin and Datuk Penghulu was only attended by the Regent of Rohil Afrizal Sintong. However, for a moment the event was opened, Deputy Regent Rohil H Sulaiman came and sat right next to the regent.

Afrizal Sintong said the commotion that occurred may have been caused by him not reporting the inauguration ceremony of the Pjs penhulu to the deputy regent.

In fact, he continued, all the datuk and datin penghulu who were inaugurated were proposals from religious leaders, youth leaders, community leaders through the sub-district head in their respective regions without any appointment from the regent.
