EIGHT TARGETS
21. The Power of Public Sentiment

The incident started about 1 hour after the conversation between Kaiser and Agni.  Precisely at 23 minutes 19 the host of the talk show on the television broadcast Beo TV asked a question to the guest star who was then one of the artists of the homeland of Malaysia's original blood.

At that time, the Artist was predicted by the main guest star who was the famous fortune teller of the homeland that night about who his soul mate was.  The Diviner gave his first klu to the Artist, his Indonesian soul mate.  The host then asked about anyone who was thought of by the Artist with a joke talk show style with a laugh.  Spontaneous The Artist issued an answer that offended all the people of the country with his answer, he said,

“I don't like Indonesians because of dirty.”

Because the event is a live broadcast, the broadcast editor section is unlikely to be able to cut the scene.  This then led to angry reactions from many people in the country both on the internet and on social media.  The issue of SARA is indeed the most terrible in Indonesia, as well as the most effective in diverting the attention of the masses.

The next day, all the news on Beo TV channel, Bekicot TV, including NTV talked about the anger of the Indonesian people and the prosecution of apologies.  The media sought to divert public attention from the NTV News misappropriation case under the command of Vet Tcin's superiors.

The three media even displayed many news that invited SARA issues that were not relevant to the Artist case, but were still displayed to trigger public opinion and anger.

The news where showing how the people of Indonesia ‘anya’ much disentimen in the homeland of Malaysia, Malaysia, especially for TKI-TKI who works as a maid there who ‘anya’ is treated unfairly differently with native Malaysian aides including helpers from countries other than Indonesia.

The media even showed old news where a woman from Indonesia who was edited as the fourth wife by one of the officials there, treated unfairly with other wives because of racial sentiments.

Andika, Ratih, Zion, and all of Kaiser's friends who were aware of the situation, couldn't help but worry about seeing how they were silenced by the diversion of the issue.  But one that is not expected by Vet Tcin is Queen TV, TV top number 2 which is right under NTV under the influence of Panji, the future successor to Queen's company, the company, still carrying the process of traveling the NTV News case to the community was also assisted by DTV owned by Dewantara Group.

Queen TV in collaboration with DTV swiftly escorted the case of the Artist by not ignoring the case of misappropriation of NTV News news.  Thanks to the escorts of both television broadcasting stations, where many use segments in the main hour as the main topic of news, the public remains to follow and make it the main topic of conversation in the places they are located.  That in the end, encourage NTV who pay attention to the image must inevitably immediately respond to the sentiments of the community.

Of course it was done by the two television broadcasting stations by not ignoring the news of the Artist.

Queen TV and DTV continue to guard the case of the Artist which starts from how the Artist apologizes to the public who he said accidentally said it because drowsiness so wrong in choosing the word right in expressing it.

Where, where, it's just his personal taste to have a husband who is my own in order to be in harmony with his culture where the point is slovenly here is that there are cultural differences only where some things are considered by people Indonesia is a natural culture, but according to Malaysian culture is slovenly.

That is what he wants to avoid, namely cultural incompatibility that leads to household disharmony so that he chooses to marry the same tribe and race.  There is no SARA sentiment at all in the intent of her speech as many media have reported.

After an apology in public by the Artist along with clarification of the purpose of his speech.  The news was followed by how the President of Indonesia and the Ambassador of Malaysia shook hands as a sign of the intimacy of the two countries which was closed by their respective speeches about not being easily provoked by the issue of SARA and the people of Malaysia and Indonesia is a brother because it comes from the same origin of the archipelago.  It all ended well.

Return to the case of misappropriation of NTV News news including the case with Kaiser Dewantara.  Kaiser who had been silent all this time, finally appeared in the public through his press conference.

“Journalists.  From childhood, I have been educated by my teachers and both parents to always do good to others and always have to be patient and forgive if others make mistakes to us.  Therefore, regarding the defamation I experienced, I decided to forgive this deed by not following it up legally, he said, especially with the public who already know my innocence based on the clarification of the police related.  Therefore, I am grateful to all those who have supported me all this time.  And I hope, so that friends who always support me so far can also accept my decision and support it.”  Kaiser told reporters at his press conference.

This led to a lot of praise to Kaiser who was humble on the internet and on social media and as a result various reproaches were inflicted on the perpetrators of the NTV News who were haughtily reluctant to apologizing.  Because of the strong public sentiment, NTV News finally decided to apologize in public and as a liability, Vet Tcin resigned from his position as the chief reporter of NTV News.

***

In a dark room, Vet Tcin sat quietly in front of his desk.  He did nothing but sit still with his eyes blank.

Rihana, entered in slow steps while approaching her mother.  Along with him in his hand is a tray containing a plate of rice complete with side dishes and a glass of milk.

“Mother, mom is okay?  Mom hasn't eaten.  Mom, let's eat first?”  Said Rihana carefully to her mother.

There was a look of worry on his face seeing his mother in such a condition.

“Honey?  Sorry to worry you.”

Rihana shook her head to her mother in response that she was fine.  Vet Tcin smiled softly and stroked the back of his daughter's head which was not covered by a hat.

“But take it easy, son, even though I lost my job, I'm still the biggest shareholder of N News and Entertainment so nothing will change about our economic status.  We will not go back to being poor like we used to be.”
