JAKARTA - The polite attitude of the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, towards his father and President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has attracted public attention, especially netizens.

This moment occurred after Jokowi attended a meeting of the Indonesian State University Chancellor's Council (MPRTNI) meeting in Solo, Monday, September 13 yesterday. Jokowi was welcomed by residents including Gibran.

Through a video uploaded by Berita Surakarta on Youtube, the moment of meeting Gibran and his father in the forum can be seen.

Jokowi, wearing a batik shirt, was leaving UNS, followed by several officials, including the Minister of Education and Culture, Research and Technology, Nadiem Makarim. While Gibran trailed in the rear position.

Arriving at the car, Jokowi seemed engrossed in talking with Nadiem and a row of ministers. Gibran remained in the back position and seemed to be seriously paying attention to the conversation between Jokowi and his ministers.

One of the compliments came from social media activist Ferdinand Hutahaean via his Twitter account, @FerdinandHaean3.

“Toto Kromo, good manners..!! Salute to Gibran's attitude in this video. This attitude is only obtained from character lessons, especially in the family. Original Indonesian attitude and identity..!!”, wrote @FerdinandHaean3.

This former Democrat politician believes that Gibran's attitude cannot be separated from the cultivation of good character from his father. Some netizens also responded to this with praise. In essence, Gibran knows to place himself as a child and as an official in Solo.

"Really very civilized.. knowing yourself and position... great", tweeted the account @Bean****
