JAKARTA - The Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD spoke about the video of him being viral on social media.
In the 50-second video, Mahfud initially appears to be wearing a light brown shirt. However, he then opened his shirt, which was covered with an orange t-shirt that said 'i like dangdut'.
This video was then discussed by netizens mainly on Twitter and Mahfud was said to be inappropriate for this.
According to the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK), the video was made around 2014 and was conducted in the context of raising funds for education costs at a private television station.
"In 2014 with Dahlan Iskan, Ganjar Pranowo, Ignatius Jonan, I danced dangdut for education fundraising by Indosiar," Mahfud said as quoted from his Twitter account @mohmahfudmd, Wednesday, January 6.
Mahfud said that at that time he had also challenged PKS politician Hidayat Nurwahid and legal expert Yusril Ihza Mahendra as well as high-ranking BPK officials. In addition, he claimed to be the winner because of his dancing action like the one in the video.
Even though there are those who question why he doesn't use a mask, he doesn't bother. Mahfud admitted that he was happy to see the video again. "Yesterday someone uploaded it, he said I was dancing without a mask. Glad to see it because it brought to the nostalgia of that time (2014)," he said.
"Ministers, governors, and others were also involved. The organizer is Indosiar TV. My jogging is good, right?" he said while answering one of the warganet's tweets.
