Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim has commented on the incident involving preacher Gus Miftah insulting an iced tea vendor during an event in Magelang.
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has weighed in on the incident involving preacher Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman (Gus Miftah) who insulted an iced tea vendor during an event in Magelang. Anwar found it odd that someone knowledgeable in religion would make derogatory remarks and be laughed at.
Anwar even discussed the viral incident in front of officials from Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance on Thursday (Dec 5, 2024). According to Malaysia Gazette TV, the Malaysian leader said he received a video from his colleagues in Indonesia showing Gus Miftah insulting the iced tea vendor named Sonhaji in front of the audience.

"In Indonesia, over the past few days, social media has been buzzing about a cleric who, during his sermon, insulted a tea vendor. Oh, some of you have watched it, right? I received it from my friends in Indonesia, and the video has gone viral," said PM Anwar.
The Malaysian PM felt sorry for Sonhaji, who was subjected to unpleasant remarks from Gus Miftah and laughed at by others, including figures on the preacher’s stage.
"He (Gus Miftah) caused public outrage, prompting President Prabowo Subianto to issue a strong statement, leading the preacher to visit the tea vendor’s area and apologize," Anwar explained.
He urged Malaysian officials to learn from the incident in Indonesia.
"Someone knowledgeable in religion, who speaks about Islam, faith, prayer, and the Sunnah, but when such words arise, it appears insulting," said Anwar.
"I saw it myself; it was sent by my friends in Indonesia. I found it strange and extraordinary," added the Malaysian PM.
