JAKARTA - The issue of Raffi Ahmad and Nagita Slavina who were caught storing dozens of 3-kilogram LPG gas cylinders (LPG) has surfaced again. This polemic is in the public spotlight, especially after the emergence of a controversial policy from the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia regarding the distribution of subsidized gas.

Digital traces of the stock of melon gas cylinders at the residence of the celebrity couple were again shared by a number of social media accounts. One of the uploads that attracted attention came from the Twitter account @denismalhotra on Monday, February 3, which received a large response with a total of 4.8 million views.

Until finally, Raffi and Nagita were flooded with blasphemy from netizens. Responding to the controversy that has returned to this hot topic of conversation, the couple nicknamed RANS did not remain silent. The video apparently aired on the RANS Entertainment YouTube channel on Saturday, June 6, 2020.

This woman who is often called Gigi has provided clarification regarding the presence of dozens of 3 kilogram LPG gas cylinders in her house. He denied that the subsidy gas was used for his family's personal interests.

In his statement, Nagita explained that the gas cylinders were actually only used as property in the process of filming their content.

"For example, here there is a tube that can not be sold first because I want to make it a shooting property," said Nagita Slavina, quoted by VOI from the RANS Entertainment YouTube channel on Friday, February 7.

In addition to being used as a shooting property, he also revealed that the gas was intended for RANS Entertainment employees as well as household workers who live and work at their homes.

"Why yesterday there were so many melon tubes? Because it's not just me who live here. There are still a lot of people who are misguided," said Nagita.

Furthermore, Raffi Ahmad's wife emphasized that for her own household, her family uses non-subsidized gas. He ensured that his family had switched to a pink gas cylinder intended for the wealthy.

"Alhamdulillah, if a family like this is supposed to use a pink tube, guys." concluded Nagita.

This controversy continues to reap pros and cons among netizens. Some people understand the reasons Nagita gave. While others still question the ethics of storing large amounts of subsidized gas cylinders, even though it is for the needs of employees and content production.
