JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD, responded to public criticism about his tweets while watching the soap opera Ikatan Cinta, while President Joko Widodo visited residents' homes at night to distribute necessities.
"It's okay for soap operas. Thank you for all the criticism and support for my tweet. That means democracy is running, some have views, some criticize, some support, and some stay silent. No one violates the law", said Mahfud, Saturday, July 17.
Initially, Mahfud MD uploaded a tweet commenting on the flow of the soap opera Ikatan Cinta through his personal Twitter account @mohmahfudmd, Wednesday, July 15. He admitted that he had the opportunity to watch the soap opera when the emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) was implemented.
"PPKM allowed me to watch the soap opera series Ikatan Cinta. It's also fun, even though it's a bit muddled," wrote Mahfud.
However, according to Mahfud, there is something wrong with the legal understanding of the writer of the soap opera Ikatan Cinta.

Mahfud reasoned that his tweet only wanted to convey an important message so that in a public space where many people watch, legal issues can be understood according to their field.
According to him, there are fundamental differences between criminal law, civil law, and administrative law. If this is not understood, said Mahfud, it could be chaotic. Moreover, it was demonstrated as an action by the police.
Mahfud MD also said that during the Emergency PPKM period he not only sat quietly watching soap operas but also continued to do government duties.
"I still work, even official ones such as meetings can go up to 22.00. Last Friday I met many times until 21.00. The last time I chaired a cross-ministerial/institutional meeting until 21.30 to discuss media strategy and security for the G20 Presidency which will take place 2022", explained Mahfud.
