JAKARTA - The Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) responded to the action of two Indonesian celebrities who recommended shares of one of the issuers. They are Raffi Ahmad and Ari Lasso.

Director of Trade and Assessment of IDX Exchange Members, Laksono Widodo, when confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, January 5, said that his party would invite Raffi and Ari Lasso to have a discussion.

He actually welcomed Raffi and Ari's initiative to invite people to invest. However, he reminded the two public figures that they have a big moral responsibility as influencers.

"However, it is also necessary to remind them of their moral responsibility for their followers and the potential for potential lawsuits from their followers if anyone can be disappointed," said Laksono.

Meanwhile, when asked about other public figures, in this case Kaesang Pangarep, Laksono said, the same was true for the youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). According to him, Kaesang will also be invited to discuss the recommendations of Sangmology, which has become his jargon on Twitter.

"Invitation to discussion applies to all influencers," said Laksono.

For information, Raffi Ahmad in uploads on Instagram social media, said he had entered the world of capital markets in the last three weeks. The husband of Nagita Slavina admitted that this is the first time he has invested in stocks.

The 33-year-old man said that investing in stocks is an option to face times of uncertainty amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In the @ raffinagita1717 account he shared about his experience investing in shares of PT M Cash Integration Tbk (MCAS).

"With a situation like this we have to really fight, whatever we have to learn with developments in IT and technology. For all of you, you guys try to trace MCAS," said Raffi.

PT M Cash Integration Tbk is a subsidiary of PT Kresna Graha Investama Tbk. Raffi said, since he put his money in MCAS, the issuer's shares have jumped 20 percent to 30 percent.

As for Kaesang on his personal Twitter account, he often tweeted about his portfolio. It is known that Kaesang narrowed the shares of two BUMNs, namely PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGAS), and PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM).
