Jakarta –
Commissioner I DPR RI, Fadli Zon, proposed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Menlu) Retno LP Marsudi to withdraw the Indonesian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Agus Maftuh Abegebriel. Agus responded casually to the pressure as he told the story about the cigars.
Fadli’s request was originally sent through the @fadlizon Twitter account as seen on Wednesday (11/11/2020). Fadli highlighted Agus Maftuh’s indirect comments about Habib Rizieq.
“As a member of @DPR_RI Commission 1, I suggest @Menlu_RI to immediately remove and replace the Indonesian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. He has been there for almost 5 years. His comments are always biased about Habib Rizieq Shihab, despite the fact that the Indonesian Ambassador should serve, protect and defend. Indonesian citizens, “wrote Fadli. Fadli’s tweets were edited and adjusted by EYD.
Agus Maftuh responded to this by sharing photos of himself with Fadli Zon and Fahri Hamzah. In the photo, Fadli and Fahri, who are wearing white clothes and turbans, are smiling.
Fadli is seen holding a cigar. According to Agus, this moment happened in 2018.
“FADLI, FAHRI AND MAFTUH: Three friends are very close: in 2018, they chatted at Zamzam Tower Makkah accompanied by Mas Fadli cigars,” said Agus.
Agus then expressed his gratitude for Fadli Zon’s attention. He hopes to meet Fadli Zon in Jakarta soon.
“I have been a servant of Indonesian citizens in Saudi Arabia for 5 years and less than three months. I also miss Mas Fadli with his succinct jokes. I also miss the cigar that Mas Fadli gave me when we were there. Chat at the Zamzam Tower with Mas Fahri Hamzah two years ago. God willing, we’ll see you in Jakarta later, “said Agus.
Agus admitted that he has been friends with Fadli Zon for a long time. One of them met Fadli in scientific forums.
“I have been friends with Mas Fadli Zon for 16 years and we often discuss the roots of fundamentalism together in discussion forums. In 2007, he and I reviewed the book ‘Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam’, which was translated to the Indonesian edition with the title “The Devil’s Game, the Devil’s Orchestra; 60 years of an affair of religious extremists and Americans, “he said.
