Gus Miftah Fills Tausiah, Rice Baths Become President Jokowi's Bukber Main Dishes With Ministers

The Ministry of State Secretariat (Kemensetneg) presents special dishes from the south of Jakarta in the form of bath rice to egg martabak as a variant of the main and takjil menu on the agenda of opening together (bukber) President Joko Widodo with ministers in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet.

Dishes are served separately in the main room of the State Palace which is next to the meeting place to open with invited guests.

For the takjil menu, there are martabak eggs, solo sausages, sweet martabak, bananas, bakwan, tofu contents, and dimsums.

As for the main menu dish, roasted beef has been prepared, chicken bathing rice, goat bath rice.

The joint open agenda was preceded by a tausiah delivered by the caretaker of the Ora Aji Sleman Islamic Boarding School, Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman or who is familiarly called Gus Miftah.

In his tausiah, Gus Miftah conveyed that Ramadan came with blessings, not only for Muslims, but also for non-Islam.

"There is a joke about fighting over takjil snacks. At 3 o'clock, non-Islamic people have eaten takjil, it's your turn at 5 o'clock, Muslims want takjil snacks, it's over. So I tried to reply when tomorrow I will buy all the eggs, so I can only buy Kinder Joy eggs," joked Gus Miftah, who was greeted with laughter from the audience.

He said the average president in the Islamic world is often accompanied by a funny comedian, one of whom is Abu Nawas who is a figure who lives during the reign of Khalifah Harun Al-Rasyid.

"But I'm sure Pak Jokowi doesn't need to invite comedians, because there is a funny minister, Mr. Bahlil. I suspect Mr. Bahlil is a minister not because of achievements but because he is funny," he said.

Gus Miftah expressed his belief about the love of the Indonesian people for the figure of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"The eye can forget who he sees, but the heart can't forget who he loves. God willing, the love of the Indonesian people for Pak Jokowi will last forever," he said.

Meanwhile, the agenda of breaking the fast together at the State Palace was attended by President Joko Widodo and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin, along with a number of KIM ministers.

A number of ministers who were not present at the event until 18.05 WIB, namely Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini, Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly, Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziyah, and Minister of Villages for Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration Abdul Halim Iskandar.
