JAKARTA - After being sprayed by telematics expert Roy Suryo for uploading the photo 'Haram Supports Anies Baswedan' in a social media account, now PDIP politician Ruhut Sitompul has again shown an edited photo of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan.

Ruhut uploaded an edited photo of Anies in traditional Papuan clothing.

"Ha ha ha, Betawi people say don't worry X Sip," commented Ruhut in the caption for his photo upload on his Twitter account, ruhutsitompul, Thursday, May 12. In the photo that Ruhut uploaded, Anies wore a tassel on his head. Meanwhile, on his nose, accessories are attached to the teeth of pigs.

In the photo, Anies is also not wearing a top. While his subordinates only use a koteka.

The post was widely commented on by netizens. Many believe that Ruhut has violated the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE). Not a few also thought that Ruhut had insulted him.

Roy Suryo also did not miss to comment. The former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) was annoyed that Ruhut was again spreading hoax content on social media.

"This is a HOAX again. Ruhut's EDITAN photos are posted again," said Roy via the Twitter account @KRMTRoySuryo2.

The number of netizens who commented on Anies' edited photo wearing Papuan traditional clothes was accompanied by the rising hashtag Ruhut Violating the ITE Law. Soon the hashtag was trending on Indonesian Twitter until Thursday, May 12 at around 11:54 WIB.
