Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka is known for frequently visiting various regions, similar to former President Joko Widodo. During his working visit to Bogor, West Java, Gibran stole the public's attention through a viral video on TikTok.
"A unique moment when Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka made a working visit to Bogor Regency, West Java on Wednesday, December 11, 2024," wrote the TikTok account @cecesunandar163 on December 13, 2024.
In the middle of the crowd, a mother is seen poking Gibran's cheek who is surrounded by the presidential security detail and his aides. In the video, Gibran appears very close to the mothers present.
One of the mothers looked so excited that she poked Gibran's cheek, while the other was calmer and just poked his arm. Some residents even just shook hands with the number two person in Indonesia.
Although his aides tried to keep their distance, the crowd was still unavoidable. Gibran not only greeted them, but also distributed milk cartons and brochures, which made residents scramble to get them.
Even though the situation looked crowded, Gibran looked relaxed and did not mind the presence of the mothers who surrounded him, while continuing to distribute milk and brochures.
