JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo's video promoting Bipang Ambawang, a typical food of West Kalimantan region, for Eid souvenirs led to controversy. Because, the food is allegedly not halal for Muslims and not appropriate for the dish of Eid al-Fitr. Bipang, touted as an acronym for roast pork.

In response, Deputy Chairman of mpr Ahmad Basarah said, if the public listens to President Jokowi's statement in the video uploaded on youtube channel as a whole, it would appear that the President delivered bipang Ambawang in the context of loving and promoting local Indonesian products that can be ordered online.

"Jokowi's statement is intended for all Indonesians. In this case, a diverse Indonesian society consisting of various religions, tribes, groups, spread across various provinces, districts, as well as cities scattered throughout Indonesia,'' said Ahmad Basarah in Jakarta, Saturday, May 8.Therefore, the Chairman of the PDI Perjuangan Faction did not judge President Jokowi specifically in promoting Bipang Ambawang from Kalimantan. It is seen that the President also called the nation's own culinary samples randomly such as Jogja gudeg, Semarang bandeng, Bandung siomay, Palembang empeks, also Bipang Ambawang from West Kalimantan, and others who only stay ordered via online.'' We don't know exactly what Bipang Ambawang's food is. Some call it roast pork. However, Jubir President Fadjroel Rahman called Bipang is a kind of rice cake from Kalimantan,'' explained Basarah.According to him, President Jokowi is a good Muslim, who once carried out the fifth pillar of Islam to the holy land of Makkah. On several occasions, the President even led congregational prayers.

''Therefore I believe it is impossible as a good Muslim, the President deliberately invites Muslims in Indonesia to eat food that is forbidden by Muslims, if true Bipang Ambawang is roast pork," he explained. Basarah suggested that all Indonesians see clearly the purpose of President Jokowi delivering a speech on the Youtube channel. That is to explain that without homecoming that can not be done in Eid al-Fitr this time, they can still enjoy the regional food they usually consume if they go home from Eid al-Fitr.

President Jokowi has also issued policies that benefit Muslims in the form of strengthening the pesantren economy through Bank Wakaf Mikro, which was inaugurated in October 2017." Please note that President Jokowi is the president of all Indonesian tribes as well as the president for all religious people living in the country of Pancasila. Let's think more broadly and clearly, do not be easily consumed by provocations that want to divide the government and its people,'' said Ahmad Basarah.

Meanwhile, PAN DPP Chairman Saleh Partaonan Daulay said he appreciated President Jokowi's passion for loving domestic products. However, he urged jokowi to clarify, related to the product data mentioned to the public.

"So the product must be clarified so that there is no mistake when it is mentioned it will cause controversy and polemic, it should not happen because the intention of President Jokowi Very good," saleh said, Sunday, May 9.

But, he continued, because the product mentioned may not be known specifically by the president, it becomes a controversy like this. The chairman of the PAN Faction of the House of Representatives looked at what Jokowi said, not with the intention of selling illicit products, but his spirit is to enlarge local products.

"I think that in the spirit of producing and consuming local products is fine. But because the goods are considered something haraam, so make different interpretations in society," saleh said.

The North Sumatra legislator also felt his mistake was not from Jokowi, but on the organizing committee that did not give a full explanation related to the product, especially now in the holy month of

Ramadan. " The sensitivity of the community is also high regarding it. Therefore, I urge President Jokowi not to easily also mention the name of the product must also be ensured carefully first, let the spirit highlighted love domestic products, love domestic products," jelas Saleh.

"If you call a product and end up wrong it's a hassle, so this is the future president is considered the most pinter, the best person, then most know a lot of things. Therefore, the president should not misspoke. Because if the president misspoke publicly it's hard to clarify in the future. Of course it must be absolutely and ensured that what is conveyed does not offend any community," said Saleh Partaonan Daulay.

Chairman of Jokowi Mania (JoMan) Immanuel Ebenezer also blamed The Minister of State Secretary Praktikno for the viral video of President Joko Widodo's speech (Jokowi) promoting bipang Ambawang, West Kalimantan, on social media.
