Vice President 'Spray' Calls Admiral Yudo Margono TNI Commander, Istana: If It Doesn't Have A Good Impact, Don't Take It Seriously

JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the Vice President, Masduki Baidlowi, emphasized that Ma'ruf Amin accidentally greeted the Chief of Naval Staff (KSAL) Admiral Yudo Margono as TNI Commander.

Masduki explained that if the accident had a bad impact, the public did not need to take it seriously.

"If it's an accident that has a good impact, it's good. If it has a bad impact, don't take it as something serious," said Masduki to VOI, Saturday, September 18.

Currently, President Joko Widodo has not yet decided who will be the TNI Commander to replace Hadi Tjahjanto who will retire. However, there is an interesting moment in Ma'ruf Amin's activities

This moment occurred when the vice president came to the An-Nawawi Tanara Islamic Boarding School, Serang, Banten, Thursday, September 16 yesterday. Ma'ruf came to see the vaccination process.

Ma'ruf Amin made speculations in the moment of the wrong call. TNI Admiral Yudo Margono was not called KSAL, but TNI Commander.

"Today I was present at the An-Nawawi Tanara Islamic boarding school, Serang, Banten to take part in the vaccination organized by the Indonesian Navy. Together with the local government and the Commander in Chief were here," said the vice president.

"Hey, Mr. KSAL, the Chief of Naval Staff is here," corrected Ma'ruf.

I don't know who spoke, around the vice president someone said, "Prayer means".

The editor then tried to listen to the recording of the vice president's remarks on the Vice President's Secretariat YouTube Channel, Saturday 18 September. Usually all the vice president's statements in various events will be broadcast in full. But this time, it is suspected that Ma'ruf Amin's statement has been edited.

All that was heard was, "Prayer matters".
