JAKARTA - Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also highlighted the insult to Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman against tea sellers that went viral on social media in Indonesia.

Anwar discussed the issue in front of the ranks of the Malaysian Ministry of Finance at the 'Majelis Warga Kementerian Keuangan with the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance', Thursday, December 5.

"In Indonesia, in recent days, there has been a commotion in social media, a kyai, gus, in his da'wah insulted a tea seller. Oh, someone has watched it, right? I, friends in Indonesia, sent it, and (the video) went viral," Anwar said as quoted by ANTARA.

Humiliation to people who sell tea, which means including the poor, is carried out with laughter.

"All of this received a strong reaction among the people, so President Prabowo Subianto gave a rather harsh statement, and made the preacher visit the tea tycoon's area to apologize," said Anwar.

Anwar said it was an example of the experience that arrogance, sometimes it doesn't just happen among people who don't know religion.

People who understand religion, who talk about Islam, aqidah, prayer, and sunnah, but when a word like that arises, (if) seen it is insulting. I also saw that it was sent by my friend in Indonesia, I felt strange, yes," said Anwar, who said that for him the incident was also a lesson.
