JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo uploaded an animated video of a red arch bridge on his Instagram account. The atmosphere in the animated video is very beautiful with green trees, clean sea and three birds flying past.

The video changes to describe the night conditions. The bridge is bathed in light. The background of birds chirping adds a special flavor.

Jokowi in his caption explained that this bridge stretches over a beautiful bay. This bridge is a giant iron arch with a main span of 433 meters and weighs thousands of tons.

"It was built by skilled Indonesian hands in Surabaya and then shipped intact, covering 3,200 kilometers for almost a month to the east of the archipelago," Jokowi wrote.

"When installed, this bridge becomes a landmark of a city and becomes a symbol of progress in the development of an area in Indonesia," he continued.

It was here that Jokowi seemed to be trying to puzzle his followers.

"Do you know what the name of this bridge is and where is it located?" Jokowi asked.

Musician Addie MS immediately answered it was Youtefa's Red Bridge.

"Proud and touched. Thank you, Mr. Jokowi, for building Papua," he wrote.

Apparently the Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil also commented on the president's post. But who would have thought Ridwan Kamil would give an answer like this.

"The location is on the admin's computer, sir, because it's still animated," he wrote.

Ridwan Kamil's reply immediately caused an uproar in the Instagram world. More than 500 comments responded to Ridwan Kamil's writing.

Some praised Ridwan Kamil's intelligence in answering. But not a few also attacked that many of Ridwan Kamil's plans had not been realized.

"@ridwankamil is ashamed of himself because the bridge is actually in Papua, not on the computer," wrote achmad_acho.

"@putrarizky_13 wkwkwk usually at baperan he thinks nyinyir is really sensitive, can't be joked with," wrote ilhams.rv.

"@ridwankamil, is this a joke, bro? Deliberately and unintentionally, Emil has led the opinion that the bridge construction is still in the form of discourse or animation. The longer it goes on, the father is," wrote @durangorantokan.
