However, Jokowi immediately greeted the presidents, vice presidents and members of the Higher Audit Agency. In fact, Jokowi should have greeted Ma’ruf Amin first.

Realizing his mistake, Jokowi immediately apologized to Ma’ruf, who was sitting not far from the podium.

“I am sorry the vice president almost forgot. I respect the vice president of the Republic of Indonesia,” Jokowi said as he looked at Ma’ruf.

After greeting Ma’ruf, Jokowi continued to greet the advanced ministers of the Indonesian cabinet, as well as the heads of non-ministerial institutions.
