JAKARTA - Social media was shocked by the circulation of the video of the luxury Lexus official car allegedly used by Raffi Ahmad, who now serves as the Presidential Special Envoy for the Young Generation and Art Workers.

The car went viral after members of the police escort who escorted it pointed at Alphard taxis on Jalan Sudirman-Thamrin. Nagita Slavina's husband finally opened his voice and confirmed that the RI 36 car was an official vehicle used.

"That it is true that the car I used was a vehicle," said Raffi Ahmad in a written statement, Saturday, January 11, 2025.

At the time of the incident, Raffi admitted that he was not in the car. It is known that the car with the RI 36 plate was on its way to pick up Raffi, after previously taking some important files before proceeding to the next meeting.

"However, at the time of the incident, I was not in the car because at that time the RI 36-plated car was in a position to pick me up to the next meeting agenda," said Raffi.

Knowing that Raffi Ahmad's statement circulated on social media, many netizens were busy giving responses in the Instagram comment column @raffinagita1717.

At that time, Raffi uploaded a photo of the moment he met Assim Al-Hakeem, a preacher from Saudi Arabia and Teuku Wisnu. In the comments column, some netizens criticized Raffi Ahmad. However, others actually provided support for Raffi Ahmad.

"Now it's the Minister of Trade (Minister of Dagelan), yes. The car you use is paid by the people. Don't pretend to be the king of the streets," commented the account @farahadhi**** "People's salary, but he's arbitrary," wrote the account @ikoma**** "Many times trying to get attacked down but still standing cool RANS, hopefully happy," said the account @memu****27"MasyaAllah. Continue to spread good things Aa. Hopefully always under His protection." said the account @rfa.***

Previously, the video uploaded by the Instagram account @pmi_official showed the arrogant action carried out by patrol officers and escort (patwal) who escorted the car of the RI plate 36 official in the midst of congestion in Jakarta.

In the video, the patwal officer is seen pointing at the black executive taxi driver in front of him who did not give way.

The taxi was in the back of the truck and tried to move the lane to the right, but was blocked by another car on the right, thus blocking the RI 36 car lane. After getting on the road and pointing at the taxi driver, the patwal officer continued his journey with the RI 36 car.

After the video showing the action went viral, netizens tried to find out who owned the RI 36 car. Until finally, it was revealed that the official car belonged to Raffi Ahmad.
