DEPOK - Candidate for vice president number 1, Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) said he was relieved by his appearance during the fourth debate of the 2024 vice presidential candidate on Sunday, January 21 yesterday.
Previously, Cak Imin was warned by netizens on social media not to repeat mistakes like the second debate. In fact, his supporters on social media joked that Cak Imin would kidnap Cak Imin into Rengasdengklok like an era of independence if it was not optimal in the debate.
Even though he knew that the threat of kidnapping was just a joke, Cak Imin still said he was relieved by the support response that appreciated him.
"Alhamdulillah, it's safe," said Cak Imin when asked about the joke of the kidnapping to Rengasdengklok, Depok, West Java, Monday, January 22.
The General Chairperson of the PKB also explained the reason he asked for a videotron to be made by his supporters. This request was conveyed by Cak Imin through his personal X (Twitter) account.
Cak Imin feels he deserves a videotron prize from supporters such as his presidential candidate, Anies Baswedan.
"I'm sure all my thoughts have come out. All my important notes have come out and I get appreciation from young friends because that's the dream of friends to express for videotron," explained Cak Imin.
"I think it will be realized. I hope so, yes. Because this morning someone contacted me, asked for my photo," he continued.
Before the fourth debate took place, supporters on social media hoped that Cak Imin would excel in the debate, unlike in the second debate some time ago. In fact, netizens made a narrative as if they were going to kidnap Cak Imin to Rengasdengklok if he looked bad at the debate.
On the other hand, if Cak Imin's performance increases in debate, Anies' affiliated supporters in the X @aniesbubble account promise to make a Korean oppa-style videotron. This promise was collected by Cak Imin.
In Sunday's debate, January 21, the arguments expressed by Cak Imin often offended the government. In fact, in the first segment, namely exposure to vision and mission and programs, Cak Imin immediately criticized the food estate project run by Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, who is also a presidential candidate number 2 and is paired with Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
Cak Imin also continues to criticize Jokowi's program such as downstreaming whose project will be continued by Prabowo-Gibran.
Receiving an attack targeting Jokowi and Prabowo, Gibran replied to Cak Imin sarcastically. This satire was conveyed after Cak Imin answered a question prepared by a panelist about steps to overcome food problems due to extreme climate change.
Initially, Cak Imin answered a question that had been prepared by a panelist. After answering, Gibran was given the opportunity to respond to Cak Imin's answer. That's when Gibran quipped the Chairman of the PKB.
"It's really nice, Gus," he answered while reading the notes earlier, "said Gibran in the fourth debate at the Jakarta Convention Center, Sunday, January 21.
Responding to this, Cak Imin conveyed that the most important thing was not from the records of the Constitutional Court (MK).
"What is important is not the record of the Constitutional Court," said Cak Imin.
This clearly insinuated Gibran for the case of ethical violation of Constitutional Justices because of the decision on the age limit of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates. The verdict that opened the door for Gibran to run as a vice presidential candidate resulted in his uncle, Anwar Usman, being dismissed from the position of Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court.
