JAKARTA - PKS politician Tifatul Sembiring also commented on the presence of rain shamans at the MotoGP event in Mandalika, West Nusa Tenggara, Sunday, March 20. The presence of a shaman named Rara reaped the pros and cons and became a byword even abroad. Tifatul assessed that believing in a shaman is part of kufr to God the creator. Even their prayers will not be accepted for 40 days,” said Tifatul via his personal Twitter, Monday, March 21. According to the former Minister of Communication and Information Technology, only stupid people want to ask a shaman for help.

"Only people who are ignorant or ignorant of religion (the Jakarta term: stupid) want to ask a shaman for help," said Tifatul.

He insinuated that the existence of the shaman was useless. This is because the Mandalika circuit is still raining heavily.

"Shaman is there, it still rains," added Tifatul. Meanwhile, the MotoGP team also commented on the presence of a rain shaman at the Mandalika MotoGP, named Raden Roro Istiati Wulandari.

The presence of the rain shaman, who is called Rara, also attracted attention at the Mandalika MotoGP. The reason is, Roro Istiati entered the Mandalika Circuit when it was raining heavily ahead of the Mandalika MotoGP race. The rain made the start time shift from 15.00 central Indonesia time or 14.00 western Indonesia time.

Rara entered the Mandalika Circuit and performed a ritual to ward off the rain. Rara's presence was widely discussed by MotoGP fans in cyberspace. The MotoGP party also uploaded a video of Rara Istiati the rain shaman in action. The MotoGP even acknowledged Rara's performance. "It worked!" wrote MotoGP on their twitter account after previously uploading a video of Rara.
