JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo's appearance in traditional Baduy clothes when delivering his State of the Union address, August 16, was commented on by netizens with an account called @pawletariat. He said President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) was suitable for wearing traditional Baduy clothing during his state speech.

Unfortunately, at the end of the comment, this account asks Jokowi to bring honey and squat at the intersection. "Azzzsksksks Jokowi Make Baduy traditional clothes really fit, just bring honey + squat at the crossroads," wrote this account.

Comments on this account invite the anger of netizens because it connotes contempt for the profession of the Baduy community. One of them came from the Indonesian Solidarity Party PSI politician, Muannas_alaidid. According to Muannas, the phrase 'stay with honey and squat' is an insulting and demeaning sentence.

"Obviously it's not a criticism, but it is qualified as sara's hatred of the Baduy tribe," said Muannas.

Muannas said that this account was a personal response to the traditional clothes worn by Jokowi, not a journalistic product. "Just arrest him with Ps.28 paragraph 2 of ITE," said Muannad by mentioning the official account of the National Police Headquarters, @DivHumas_Polri.
