Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Main Expert Staff of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) Ali Mochtar Ngabalin said there was nothing wrong with the President’s statement Jokowi when inviting people to shop for regional specialties online because there is a ban on going home during the Eid al-Fitr 2021 period.
At that time, Jokowi’s statement was considered odd because it included Bipang Ambawang’s food.
“What is wrong with Jokowi’s statement about Bi-Pang? Isn’t he the father of all ethnicities and religions in this country. Everyone has a variety of specialties. If he introduces certain specialties why can’t he? Is it because of the Lebaran homecoming issue ?, “he said in his official Instagram account @ngabalin, Saturday (8/5).
For information, Bipang can refer to the abbreviation of roasted pork, a typical West Kalimantan culinary. The video footage related to Jokowi’s statement has gone viral and received various responses from the public. The following is Jokowi’s words in the video.
“Because the government is still in a pandemic atmosphere, the government prohibits going home and for those of you who miss regional specialties or culinary delights or who usually go home to bring souvenirs, you can order them online,” said Jokowi in a video shared on social media.
“Those who long to eat warm Jogja, Semarang milkfish, Palembang empek empek, Borneo Ambawang bipang and others just order and their favorite favorite food will arrive home,” he added.
Jokowi’s remarks entered a national trending topic on Saturday (8/5). Until 11.45 WIB, there were at least 11,000 tweets containing the word ‘bipang’ which was mentioned by the President.
