Two soccer teams in match: In one team there was Surakarta’s mayor: Gibran Rakabuming, also known as a president Jokowi’s son. In another team, there was Muhadjir Effendy, a minister of president Jokowi.

And then Gibran made hattrick. And after getting a goal, Gibran ain’t do celebration, instead, he asked pardon to the minister.

I initially thought it was only a joke between both of them. In fact, after reading the news, it found out that Gibran was serious with his act.

“Uniquely, everytime having got a goal, instead of doing celebration, the mayor asked pardon to the minister Muhadjir Effendy”.

Why? Why asking for pardon? You deserve the goals! You did a good job! You even didn’t have a guilt to him. You didn’t do crime at all Gibran! Why asking for pardon? Why? Why Gibran??

😂😂😂

Never mind 😀

Edit:

I guess such asking a pardon is not a culture, only Gibran’s way to interact with his senior.

Fiki Naki is consider the best with 6,000,000 subscribers. He surprises his counterparts with his ability to speak Russian, Turkish, Spanish etc.

Heriss Skuyy: filtering his appearance to look like a little kid. He scares his counterparts with detective, hacking and video tricks. He’s also good at Hebrew. So far he has 800,000 subscribers.

Agil Julio seems the most knowledgeable for flirting phrases, e.g. “My name is Julio, but you can call me darling”. 😂

I believe he gathered it from various flirting videos. And sometimes he got obscene ~

He has the lesser subscribers: 27,000

👇👇👇

Does subscribers number matter? You decide 😂

By the way, he greets everyone he meets, so he is the champion of friendliness in Indonesia. 👍

Even the most friendliest locals can’t beat him 😎

That’s John Lennon’s line in a song titled “Woman”.

It’s something that makes foreigners get surprised: in such a ‘senior’ age, and teacher profession, those daddies still look like a child. 😂 Perhaps in previous life, they died in childhood age. 😂😂😂

As a layman, I don’t know what they are talking about ~

It’s kinda common phenomenon everywhere. People with any background meet to each others and some hate the others without reason. Not to mention if the haters are buzzers. 😂

Note:

It’s frequently the case, if you are hurt by somebody, you tend to blame the entire primordial group of the hurter. Vice a versa. (That’s why since two or three years ago in my ears – besides French – German language also sounds artistic after a German lady performed a praiseworthy act that enlightens us, common Indonesians)

I believe the guy on the video accepts nearly 100% nice comments on his YouTube channel. However, a few comments appeared ‘deviant’. It could be due to their psychological problem, or they could belong to a conspiracy team with some agenda. Also, maybe they are enjoying to play around at other people, or they could just test other people, and so on.

You’ll never know till the real evidence gets revealed.

But I admit, especially in political field, there are a lot of comments/tweets that are unbelievably so vicious.

A cigarette ad reads “one person was asked, (but) one class have answered. Incredible!”

To know what ain’t said is simple: by learning socio-cultural aspect in the society. Current affairs for example.

Currently, seeing such a view, people here will laugh.

I won’t tell you why, except: it’s related to politics.

For the sake of non-judgmental, I can only say: “May he be strong and patient”. 😇

EDIT:

It’s found out that the picture is just a HOAX 🙄

Really? it’s difficult to master Indonesian language?

It can be “Yes” and “No” at the same time.

“No”, because its language structure is simple. No gender, no verb changes, no pronoun differences, etc.

“Yes”, because you should find the CONTEXT before you pick the right diction based on social relations: by ethnic, by occupation, by family etc.

The language is simple, but the implementation is complicated.

You sometimes should figure out the “meaning” that is not stated in a sentence due to cultural obstacle.

After learning it quite well, you might be able to speak in regular happenings, such as: “Berapa harganya?” (=How much is it?). “Dimana mini market terdekat?” (=Where is the nearest minimarket?” etc.

BUT, when you meet a grandma, you should not call her “kamu” (=you), instead, you should pick the most correct diction among : “Mbah”, or “Oma”, or “Nenek” etc. according to what her ethnic is.

If you wanna give money for sorta good assistance to somebody from certain ethnic that “refuses” by saying “tidak usah” (you don’t have to pay me). You should force him/her to accept the money. But then again, there is also possibility that he/she really don’t want you to pay them.

For another certain ethnic, you cannot ask “how much did you give money for your daughter’s wedding?”. While it’s okay for other ethnics.

You may get the meaning in conversation with a seller. But in political or philosophy debates, the situation is much different.

In short, you should have a standard knowledge of local socio-cultural aspects first if you wish the conversation will go smooth. For that purpose, you might need to hang out with locals sufficiently to gather the knowledge from them.

However, even in conversation among Indonesians, they could possibly go into certain misunderstanding due to difference of ethnics.

By fact, there are 400s ethnics and 700s languages in Indonesia. And fortunately they can communicate to each other mostly due to the existence of National Language: Bahasa Indonesia.

You can go there on foot and experience new stuff perhaps. It lies on center Jakarta

Actually you can also go to Catholic’s Cathedral Church near by, but it doesn’t show up on this video.
