Brilio.net - Presenter Robby Purba is one of the parties in the spotlight due to the viral case of Plaza Indonesia security who hit a sniffer dog recently. Apparently, CCTV footage from a different perspective shows that the security guard was forced to hit him because the dog pounced on the kitten.
This incident of beating a dog by mall security also had a long tail. As is known, Plaza Indonesia terminated the contract of a security officer named Nasarius and the K9 vendor due to Robby Purba going viral. If you mean to save a kitten, what can you do but get fired? Netizens also criticized Robby because he was seen as causing the security guard to lose his job.
After being widely criticized by netizens and Nikita Mirzani until it trended on X's timeline, Robby Purba finally apologized. Through an upload on his personal Instagram, Robby admitted that he made this video out of his own consciousness without coercion from any party.
"I made this video from my most regretful and deepest heart," he said, quoted by brilio.net from Instagram @robbypurba, Monday (10/6).

Robby Purba admitted that he did not intend to cut off the security officer's good fortune. He just wanted to ask for an explanation as to why the mall security had to hit the dog.
"As the father of a pet, of course I do not support violence against animals, whether verbal or non-verbal. Shock, shock and need for explanation, were my motivations when initially reposting the video I watched that morning," explained Robby.
Based on these feelings, the presenter born in 1986 uploaded the video on his personal Instagram account. In his statement, he admitted that he did not expect that the effects of his actions would be so big.
"I really didn't imagine the effect would be this big after the video went viral," he continued.
The 37-year-old man also realized that he should have been wiser after hearing the clarifying video of the officer beating the dog. As a public figure, Robby actually has the influence to persuade people to end the chaos.
"I should have watched the handler's clarification video from the start, my heart could have been more open to accepting the reasons for everything and not having to look for defense," he said.

Robby also responded to netizens who criticized his actions because they were considered inhumane. He apologized for the impression created. He stated that this was not the case.
"I really love animals, especially humans who are always next to me. God willing, I'm not like that," he said.
At the end of the video, Robby Purba, who is haunted by guilt, leaves a message to the mall security. Apart from apologizing personally, the owner's full name, Robby Caesar Titian Surya Purba, is open-hearted and ready to help the security guard.
"And to you, maybe I'm not married yet, but I know what it's like to be the head of a family. It's hard, sir," said Robby.
I'm really sorry. If you need anything, whatever it is, my heart, my hands, the doors of my house, are open for you. I apologize, sir. Thank you friends," he said.
