News Anchor's HokBen Frustration Steals Spotlight from VP Resignation
Rivana Pratiwi, Metro TV's deputy editor-in-chief, vented on air about stolen HokBen orders—expensive ones, not the cheap kind—while reporting from the Nusantara building on Gibran Rakabuming Raka's resignation to parliament's upper house. Gibran, son of former president Joko Widodo, stepped down amid questions about his education, with President Prabowo Subianto accepting it reluctantly as replacement talks begin. Pratiwi later found the food and apologized for the disruption, adding a relatable moment that many found funnier than the politics itself.
