The television program Mata Najwa reveals the reasons for the choice Dadang Indarto as a representative speaker Aremania request The Kanjuruhan tragedy.
Dadang suddenly went viral on social media after being an asset on the Mata Najwa program. He was deemed unable to speak and even made controversial statements that angered other Arema fans.
Dadang himself made it clear that he was wrong to put together the words regarding the request of the group of Persebaya Surabaya supporters, Bonek, who wanted to visit Kanjuruhan as a form of solidarity and peace over the ongoing rivalry.

But Dadang’s statement has already sparked controversy among Aremania fans themselves. It is believed that he does not represent the heart voice of Singo Edan fans as a whole.
“Aremania is not an organization. There is no council. There is no president or spokesperson. It is quite difficult to find official representatives, especially as the situation in the grandstand is dynamic and sometimes varied,” Mata Najwa said in a thread on Twitter.
“The choice of Sam Yuli Sumpil is not only a measure of popularity, but also because he is the conductor. At the stadium, the conductor can influence the rhythm of the stands. But Sam Yuli cannot go to Jakarta. .
Yuli Sumpil, the best-known Aremania host, admitted he was not ready to speak at the Mata Najwa event. Sam Yuli, as he is commonly called, accepted Dadang as a substitute as a resource.
“During the video call, Sam Yuli was accompanied by Dadang Indarto. We asked who was replacing him? Was it Dadang? Sam Yuli agreed.”
“We do not accept Dadang without checking. The first thing to check is Dadang’s attitude towards Mata Najwa’s angle: complete inquiry and peace. During the conversation [semacam pre-interview], the claim is worthy. He is clearly asking for justice. “
Since Dadang is not well known outside of Malang, Mata Najwa again verified and confirmed that this figure was indeed Aremania.
“He has appeared in many victim defense reports, including with Kontras activist Andy Irfan. Our team came to the Arema Fact-Finding Team training congress, and Dadang sat next to Sam Yuli with the others, including Sam Ambon Fanda. Dadang also represented them. “
“Last check: is Aremania active in the stands or not? After the check, he is actually active in the stands, ie in the south stands, gate 12 to be exact”.
In the video call session with Dadang, Yuli Sumpil was also next to him. It’s just that Dadang’s claim of being sad is out of line with other Aremanias.
Dadang also apologized via social media for the wrong words at the Mata Najwa event.
“Assalamualaikum, I am Dadang, I apologize personally. Perhaps there was a mistake in what I said. There was no intention of refusing the arrival of Bonek’s friends in Malang. [mohon maaf]”Dadang said in a two-minute video.
Dadang also explained that he did not want to refuse Bonek’s presence in the context of his condolences and invited supporters from various parties to come to Malang to take part in the tahlilan in Kanjuruhan.
“Cak [Andie] Peci, all the Bonek brothers, are very happy [Cak Peci, saudara-saudara Bonek semua, mohon maaf sekali ya]”Dadang said in the same video.
