JAKARTA - Influencers and newcomer film players, Keanu Agl, are widely discussed on social media. He was accused of commenting on racism.

Hal tersebut bermula saat dirinya sedang melakukan endorsement sebuah perawatan. Keanu menyebut kantakunya yang belum dirawat sebagai 'ketaiak Rohingya'.

"In Kemang, I made a treatment for Rohingya's tek. I can't come once, so it's been a week since yesterday when I was tired," he said in a video that was deleted from his Instagram, Friday, July 5 yesterday.

"I want the same treatment today. Okay? Pray for me, guys, I hope I don't think Rohingya anymore," he said again.

His words clearly communicated that the Rohingya people made netizens restless. Herrry Cahyadi's account in X criticized Keanu's attitude which was deemed less sensitive in saying.

"At first it was fun to open IG, this guy is funny. I didn't expect it, look at his story, he was a bit shocked, he said 'Rohingya technology'. I'm trying to hear, I'm sure I don't hear the wrong racist people who dehumanize other nations like this, how can they escape in public? Is racism now normal?" he wrote.

He regretted that the treatment service account reposted Keanu's upload. This further strengthens his assumption that acts of racism have been taken lightly.

After the tweet was crowded, Keanu deleted the post and apologized to Herry. He hopes the celebgram will make an open apology for his actions.

FYI, trit ini akan saya hapus kalau Keanu secara terbuka meminta maaf krn telah melakukan rasisme thdp orang Rohingya, krn sblmnya dia post secara terbuka utk follower dia.Meminta maaf ke saya salah tempat. Menghapus story tidak menghilangkan dampak yg telah dibuat.

FYI, I will delete this trit if Keanu publicly apologizes for committing racism against the Rohingya people, because before he posted publicly for his followers. Apologize to me for being in the wrong place. Removing the story doesn't eliminate the impact that has been made.
