Mahfud MD Watching Soap Opera Ikatan Cinta During PPKM, Netizens Says 'Suitable For Mahfud MD Entertainment'

JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD, now has a short break when the Emergency Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) is implemented. As if following the trend of most people, Mahfud MD apparently joined the 'bewitched' soap opera Ikatan Cinta.

Through the Twitter account @mohmahfudmd, Mahfud MD admitted to watching the soap opera Ikatan Cinta. But it's not about the romance dramas of Andin (Amanda Manopo) and Aldebaran (Arya Saloka). Mahfud is concerned with the storyline of legal cases.

“PPKM allowed me to watch the soap opera Ikatan Cinta. It's also fun, even if it's a bit fiddly. But the author's legal understanding of the story is not quite right. Sarah, who confessed and asked to be punished for killing Roy, was immediately arrested. Even though the confession in the criminal law is not strong evidence", Mahfud tweeted, Thursday, July 15.

Mahfud emphasized that legal matters cannot be 'represented'. Whoever does it is responsible. Mahfud emphasized that criminal law does not recognize efforts to 'protect' guilty people by submitting themselves to legal proceedings.

“Roy's killer was Elsa. Sarah, Elsa's mother, admits to being the killer and asks to be punished to protect Elsa. Well, in criminal law, not just anyone confesses and then gets arrested", he said.

"Then many people will do bad things and then order (pay) people to confess so that the real perpetrator is free", continued Mahfud.

Of course, Mahfud's tweet about the soap opera Ikatan Cinta was immediately responded to. Some commented on Mahfud about the storyline of the soap opera on RCTI, some wondered, "Is this really the tweet from Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mahfud MD?".

"This Mr. Mahfud's account wasn't hacked, right?", said the netizen commenting.

"It's suitable to be Mahfud MD entertainment", said another netizen.

Some asked Mahfud to think about the people. Moreover, currently emergency PPKM is being implemented in Java-Bali including 15 other areas due to the COVID-19 craze.

"Sir, it's better to give a solution, many people are screaming", said the netizen.
