JAKARTA - The 5th President Megawati Soekarnoputri's gesture in response to the greetings of NasDem Chairman Surya Paloh has again become a concern. Megawati nodded when Surya Paloh gave a greeting greeting.

This moment occurred before the annual session of the MPR at the Parliament complex in Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 16. Megawati, who walked to her seat, was greeted by a number of people.

In that line, there is also Surya Paloh. While clasping his hands on his chest or greeting, Paloh greeted Megawati.

Megawati, who is also the head of PDIP, nodded as she continued walking. But not only Paloh, similar greetings from a number of invited guests who were present were also answered by Megawati's nod. Near Surya Paloh was the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Akbar Tanjung.

Once Happened

Previously, during the inauguration of members of the 2019-2024 DPR on Tuesday, October 1, Megawati was also recorded refusing to shake hands with Surya Paloh. A month later Paloh spoke about this gesture associated with politics.

On the NasDem Party's 9th anniversary, Paloh mentioned the issue that his relationship with PDIP Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri had 'broken'.

"Because Mba Mega didn't shake hands (to me, -reid), all of Indonesia was damaged," joked Paloh at JiExpo, Kemayoran, Jakarta, Monday, November 11, 2019, quoted by VOI from Kumparan.

Paloh then continued his joke. In fact, he said he had even tried to find out why Megawati didn't want to shake hands with him.

"We're trying to send intelligence, is it true that Mbak Mega doesn't greet me. As a result, I found out that it wasn't on purpose," he said.

Even before discussing this matter, Paloh had stated that he really loved the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia.

"Don't doubt it, how sorry I am for Mrs. Mega. Don't ever doubt that," he said.
