Interactions between public figures and street vendors are often in the spotlight, especially if the action reflects kindness. However, recently netizens' attention was drawn to the comparison between Gus Miftah's actions in throwing harsh words at an iced tea vendor and the generous attitudes of several Indonesian musicians.
In a viral video, Gus Miftah is seen using crude jokes while interacting with an iced tea seller at a religious event. In contrast, a number of singers such as Niken Salindry have shown empathy by buying up the vendor's merchandise to help them.
Niken Salindry's attitude, who is still 16 years old, has received praise for showing genuine empathy. Along with other names such as Via Vallen and the guitarist of J-Rocks, their small action is considered to provide a positive example that inspires many people.
Below, brilio.net has collected moments of five singers buying merchandise from street vendors during concerts from various sources on Thursday (5/12).
