JAKARTA - The Youtube account @POLITIK INDONESIA recently caused a stir by uploading a video with a bombastic title. In the 8 minute 1 second video thumbnail, it was written that the member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Gerindra Party, Fadli Zon, was fired.

"CAREER ENDS WATCHING HUNDREDS OF MINISTER FADLI ZONE FINALLY OFFICIALLY WAS FIRED FROM THE DPR SEAT VIRAL NEWS ~ Directly led by the president, hundreds of Ministers witnessed Fadli's dismissal," reads the full title of the video thumbnail reported from turnbackhoax, Tuesday, March 29.

After fact-finding, the content in the video did not contain any information that Fadli Zon was fired. The narration in the video is known to be exactly the same as the online media article regarding the clarification of Fadli Zon who was accused of being close to a suspected terrorist.

The whole article discusses Fadli Zon who was rumored to be close to the suspected terrorist after he uploaded a photo with the suspected terrorist at the Hilal Ahmar Society.

This institution is led by Doctor Sunardi, who was shot by Detachment 88 of the National Police some time ago.

According to Fadli, this is a form of vile slander against him.

Furthermore, there is no official news that Fadli Zon was fired from the DPR. As for the bio on his official Twitter account, @fadlizon, he still serves as a Member of Commission I DPR RI and his latest activity is to participate in inaugurating Besalen Trowulan in Mojokerto.

"Based on the data collected, it can be concluded that the claim of the POLITIK INDONESIA channel is incorrect and belongs to the False Connection category," said the turnbackhoaks.
