JAKARTA - PSI politician M Guntur Romli or Gun Romli could not understand the actions of the former Menpora Roy Suryo in policing three account owners who uploaded the Borobudur Temple stupa meme that looks like President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

The memes posted by the three accounts were uploaded by Roy Suryo on his personal Twitter account. Gun Romli also quipped that Roy Suryo should also report himself to the police.

"Roy Suryo should also report himself for spreading the word, or the police arrest him for spreading the word," said Gun Romli on his Twitter account, @GunRomli, Friday 17 June.

According to Gun Romli, Roy Suryo would not upload an edited image of the Borobudur Temple stupa being replaced by Jokowi's face if he knew that the meme had violated the law from the start.

That's the same thing, he continued, offering food to other people even though they know the dishes served are problematic.

"If you know that the meme [Borobudur Temple is similar to Jokowi], why is it problematic to spread it, it's the same as knowing the three pieces are chicken dung, but he still eats it and offers it to other people," he said.

Meanwhile, Roy Suryo uploaded a meme of a Borobudur Temple stupa similar to Jokowi's face via his Twitter account @KRMTRoySuryo2 recently.

The meme photo is set in the background of Borobudur Temple with a narrative that also smacks of the government's plan to increase the entrance fee to Bodobudur Temple.

"During the weekend, twit lightly. In line with the protest against the plan to increase the ticket price to Borobudur Temple (from 50 thousand) to 750 thousand which (as appropriate) was DELAYED, a lot of netizens' creativity changed one of the iconic open stupas in Borobudur, FUNNY, he-3x AMBYAR," wrote Roy Suryo in the description of his upload.

However, the VOI team's monitoring on June 14, Roy Suryo's upload, was no longer accessible. Roy Suryo has deleted the upload on his social media account.
