SOLO - There was a funny moment after the opening of the National Special Olympic Week (PeSONas) at the Manahan Stadium complex, Solo, Thursday, December 8.

The Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, has no shame in crossing or not wearing footwear when traveling with the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo.

At that time, Gibran wore a red Indonesian national team jacket. After taking pictures with residents at PeSONas, Gibran was seen rushing out while taking off his shoes. After a while, the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, came out of the arena for the opening ceremony.

Ganjar then asked Gibran to put his shoes on first. "Your shoes are dinggo sik (your shoes are used first)," said Ganjar to Gibran, quoted from Youtube news in Surakarta, Friday, December 10.

Politely, the eldest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) also rejected Ganjar. Gibran said that his socks were wet. "Wet socks, sir," said Gibran.

Ganjar did not even question this. Calmly, the two then walked. Gibran is seen carrying shoes with the famous black and blue brand.

Gibran just slashed a few wet road points. While in the car park, Gibran's aide gave him a blue flip-flops.

Confirmed by the media, Gibran said that his socks were wet so he didn't want to wear shoes.

"My socks are hot ogh (my socks are soaking wet)," Gibran told reporters.

Is it because the shoes are expensive that Gibran refuses to use them? "Forget (the price), it's cheap. Eman (unfortunately) if it's wet," he said.
