Miftah Maulana Resigns, DPR Members Hope The Case Becomes The Learning Of Other Officials
JAKARTA - Lecturer Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman finally decided to resign from the post of Special Envoy for the President for Religious Harmony and Development of Religious Facilities.
Miftah Mundur usai pernyataan kontroversialnya viral karena dianggap menghina pedagang es teh dalam acara Magelang Ber salawat beberapa hari lalu.
Member of Commission VIIIDPR Selly Andriany Change hopes that the Miftah case will become a lesson for other government officials so that there will be no more similar things in the future.
"Gus Miftah's case, which is of public concern, must be an evaluation and learning," said Selly, Friday, December 6.
Selly also hopes that Miftah can improve her preaching style so as not to hurt other people's feelings, even if it is meant to joke and liven up the atmosphere.
Like it or not, as the Presidential Special Envoy, there is a moral and functional message attached to it. In it there is a mandate how he facilitates religious harmony," explained Selly.
According to Selly, satirical jokes as Miftah conveyed to the tea ice basket are actually common in society.
However, in this Miftah context, said Selly, the party who was used as a joke for the subject was present and it seemed clear, so it showed social class distances.
Gus Miftah as the famous preacher and special envoy of the president are on stage, while on the other hand the ice seller who only has wood to serve on him has drinks in the congregation. But instead of buying it ice, it was made fun of while carrying a tasawuf message, "concluded Selly.
