Meutya Hafid Rejects Using Indonesian RI 36 Car; Stands Firm as Indonesian Army’s 22nd Commander

Minister Denies Using RI-36 License Plate; Clarifies Meutya Hafid as Minister of Communications and Digital”>Kominfo‘s Vehicle

Minister of Communication and Informatics (MenkomINFO), Meutya Hafid, denied using the RI-36 license plate. In a conversation with Kompas.com, Hafid clarified that MenkomINFO uses vehicles with the license plate number 22.

The confusion arises from a viral video showing a black car with the RI-36 license plate clearing traffic in the midst of a jam. The car, accompanied by police escorts, had a takechazi (traffic marshal) who pointed at another vehicle seemingly blocking the car’s path.

Previously, the RI-36 license plate was used by Minister of Communication and Informatics Budi Arie Setiadi during the administration of President Joko Widodo. However, after the change of administration, the ministry changed its name to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo). Hafid is the current Minister.

Hafid’s clarification comes amidst public speculation that the car belongs to him. Kompas.com continues to investigate the matter, including coordinating with relevant parties such as the police and the Ministry of State Secretariat, for further information.
