MEDAN - Video footage showing a woman crying has gone viral on social media. From the search results, a woman named Gemiati is a resident of Medan Amplas District, Medan City.

The woman, who has been a single parent since 2015, admitted that she had never received assistance and benefits from the Family Hope Program (PKH).

In fact, Gemiati has been registered and holds a prosperous family card since 2017. In fact, when checked on the Ministry of Social Affairs website, Gemiati is registered as a PKH beneficiary.

With a sluggish face, Gemiati told about the problems she was facing. With teary eyes, Gemiati could only see neighbors and other PKH beneficiaries returning home with aid in the form of rice, eggs, and fruit.

"I never got it, that person (another PKH member) came home with help in the form of rice, eggs, fruit. You just brought your tears home," said Gemiati while sobbing in the video, Wednesday, August 25.

However, deep anxiety for him is seeing his son's diploma which has been held in school for 2 years because there is no cost to penetrate it.

"The certificate (of the child) is hidden in school. My child wants to work hard, because he can't get help," he said.

In the video's narration, the woman simply wants to receive the help she deserves.

"You (I) hope that you can get it. Like you can't afford it, you hope so. Sometimes in this (PKH) group, someone says you don't expect it. How come she is a companion (PKH)," he said.

The post has been viewed 23,866 times and has received hundreds of comments. One of them is from the Deputy Mayor of Medan, Aulia Rachman with the account @bungauliarachman.

In her comments, Aulia asked the account owner who uploaded the video to send the woman's full address.

"Please DM the mother's full address, so that we can check and find out why the mother didn't get it," wrote Aulia Rachman in her comment.

Separately, the Head of the Medan City Government Prokopim, Arrahman Pane, when confirmed, admitted that he would immediately coordinate with the relevant agencies.

"I will ask the authorities later. I will coordinate," Arrahman told VOI.
