Gerindra Monitors Information on Meeting Between Anti-Government Figures and Singapore Ambassador

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Gerindra Party is observing information circulating on social media regarding a meeting between Indonesian figures and the Singapore Ambassador to Indonesia.

"The Gerindra Party is taking note of recent information circulating on social media, which mentions a meeting between anti-government figures and the Singapore Ambassador to Indonesia," said Gerindra Party's parliamentary faction secretary, Bambang Haryadi, in a statement in Jakarta, as reported by the National News Agency (LKBN) ANTARA, on Sunday (25/10/2026).

Bambang explained that Gerindra is investigating the veracity of this information through its members who serve on the House of Representatives Committee I.

At the same time, he emphasized that expressing opinions or criticisms towards the government is legitimate in a democracy as long as it is done constructively.

"The government led by President Prabowo has always been open to criticism. However, it's important to stress that such criticism should aim for improvement without any underlying foreign interests," he stated.

What Social Media Information is Gerindra Referring To?

According to LKBN ANTARA, the social media information links two figures reportedly visiting the residence of the Singapore Ambassador, namely Saiful Mujani and former Deputy Foreign Minister Dino Patti Djalal.

It is known that Saiful Mujani and Dino Patti Djalal often voice criticisms or differing views from the government's policies.

The viral post also features a video recording of the front gate area of the Singapore Embassy in Jakarta, accompanied by a narrative implying accusations of "Londo ireng is coming."

Dino Patti Djalal firmly denied the rumors of the meeting and described the circulating post on social media as a fictional narrative.

"This is a fictional post from a phantom team. They claim that on Sunday I went to the Singapore Ambassador's house, seemingly trying to create a narrative of collusion, but in fact, I was in Perth, Australia from Sunday to Tuesday. I was invited to speak at a climate change conference," said Dino.
