Brilio.net - The Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo)'s post regarding birthday greetings to President Joko Widodo became a hot topic of conversation on social media X. This started with an upload of greetings embedded with a poster. However, netizens failed to focus on the poster design.
In an upload on the official X Kominfo page, @kemkominfo wrote a happy birthday greeting to President Jokowi . There is nothing wrong with this statement because the information written is correct.
" The extended family of the Ministry of Communication and Informatics wishes you a happy 63rd birthday, Mr. Joko Widodo, President of the Republic of Indonesia ," wrote @kemkominfo, quoted by brilio.net on Saturday (22/6).

However, it wasn't these words that caused the wrong focus. It is precisely the design of the greeting poster that has made Kominfo gossiped about by netizens. They considered the poster design to be similar to a condolence post.
In the poster, you can see a photo of President Jokowi in a frame with a golden frame. On the corners there are white floral designs. Meanwhile, in the background, there are crowds of people dressed in red and white carrying flags.
Not a few netizens said the poster design looked like a condolence message. They flocked to criticize the design which they felt was not appropriate to the conditions. This criticism prompted Kominfo to re-upload new remarks.

" The Ministry's extended family
"Communication and Informatics wishes Mr. Joko Widodo, President of the Republic of Indonesia, a happy 63rd birthday. May he always be blessed with health, happiness and smoothness in carrying out his mandate ," wrote @kemkominfo, Sunday (22/6).
Nevertheless, the new upload is still a target for netizens. The reason is, they consider Kominfo to be less than professional even though they only make greeting poster designs.
" If I may suggest, share this link with Elaelo only. On Twitter people already think he is dead ," said @denismalhotra.
" You have to keep trusting Kominfo, guys, even if you just make a birthday greeting design for the president, it's a blunder, that's all, the revision only went up today, bruakakkakaka ," said @kiatan_abi.
" If yesterday we made a 'fatal mistake' on our part, how can we believe that all our data stored there is safe? " said @ariomalv.
" It's over, wow, wow, it's really funny how the ministry blunders like this for just saying content ," said @zonedoe192.
