JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan visited the Dukuh Atas area which is now a hangout magnet for teenagers from Sudirman, Citayam, Bojonggede and Depok (SCBD) when many areas in the capital were flooded.

PSI politician Guntur Romli or Gun Romli believes that Anies is trying to divert the issue of visiting locations that are currently viral when many areas in Jakarta are in need of handling by local governments due to flooding.

"Any ways are used by Anies to divert the Jakarta issue from flooding," wrote Gun Romli on his Twitter account, @GunRomli, Monday, July 18.

According to him, at that time, Anies wanted to be highlighted with the SCBD phenomenon which was going viral rather than being highlighted with residents or the environment affected by floods in Jakarta.

"From showing affection with his wife, he also rides the 'SCBD' phenomenon," he said.

Anies visited the 'SCBD' phenomenon on Saturday 16 July evening. Anies' visit to the Dukuh Atas area was uploaded by the former Minister of Education and Culture on his Instagram account.

The phenomenon of 'SCBD' has recently been widely discussed in the country. It has even been monitored by fashion social media accounts from Japan.

The young people who make the Dukuh Atas area hang out show their own characteristics in appearance. Of the many, popular names such as Bonge, Kurma, Jeje, and Roy have emerged who are familiar with the 'SCBD' phenomenon.

"Check the SCBD Phenomenon," Anies wrote in his upload statement via the Instagram account @aniesbaswedan.
