Gus Miftah Makes Social Media Debut Amidst Controversy; Shares Photo with Mayor Teddy at 2 AM
Jakarta, Insertlive – Following a controversial incident where he was caught on video making fun of a tea seller during his religious sermon, Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman alias Gus Miftah has made his first appearance on social media. In a surprising move, he shared a photo on his Instagram account, showing Mayor Teddy visiting him at his house, not during regular visiting hours, but at 2 AM.
Gus Miftah captioned the photo, "Thank you, my friend @tedsky89, for your visit at 2 AM," hinting at their close friendship. The Bildak pendakwah went on to praise Mayor Teddy, not just for his presence during good times, but also during challenging ones.
"True friendship is what helps you overcome tough times and enjoy the good ones," Miftah wrote.
The post sparked heated discussions online, with many netizens drawing a connection between the visit and the recent controversy surrounding Gus Miftah’s video mocking the tea seller. Some even suggested the meeting could imply a desire on Gus Miftah’s part to return to his role as the President’s Special Envoy, a position he resigned from after the backlash from the viral video.
"Miss the past just a little, hoping to return again," commented user @wedd***.
"Hope you can return as the President’s special envoy, even though you were the one who wanted to leave," user @dra*** added.
"Remember, your words and actions reflect your character," another user, @tam***, remarked.
Before this incident, Gus Miftah had faced intense public backlash after a video of him ridiculing a tea seller went viral on social media.
