Yeremia Rambitan Says Harassment To SEA Games Volunteers In Hanoi, Netizens: Feeling Handsome And Perfect

JAKARTA - Indonesian men's doubles badminton player, Yeremia Erich Yoche Yacob Rambitan has drawn criticism from netizens. This follows the harsh remarks he made in a viral live broadcast on social media.

From the screen recording that circulated, Jeremiah's viral status began when he was doing a live broadcast on the bus. At the same time, Jeremiah was heard making words that were considered inappropriate.

"I love you and I want to f**k you," said Yeremia to the volunteers who helped the Indonesian contingent during the SEA Games in Hanoi.

Jeremiah's comments then circulated widely to various platforms, including on Twitter. Along with this, criticism also came from Indonesian netizens, including from badminton fans.

Netizens regretted Jeremiah's attitude which was considered to have made inappropriate comments and was categorized as harassment. Netizens also reminded that when doing that, Yeremia wore an Indonesian contingent jacket.

"Pathetic. I won't deny the fact that this kind of "joke" is not uncommon, but to say it out loud? Even if he lowered his voice, he could still hear it. And say it live???? Like he's proud or let it be," said the account @hanna *****.

“My take on Jeremiah's live this morning: Either he didn't know what he was saying was actually verbal sexual harassment, or he knew it but he was stupid enough to continue it. PBSI must provide classes on public speaking, managing social media, and sexual harassment," commented the account @circe*********.

“Dr live tiktok before was also body shaming, he felt so handsome and perfect. Now make harassment! Shame," responded the owner of the account @Nat********.

Netizen comments also began to point to Jeremiah's personal account. A number of criticisms have been on Jeremiah's Instagram account until now, Jeremiah's comment column is currently in a restricted status.
