The hashtag #MataNajwaMenantiTerawan suddenly went viral on social media on Monday night (28/9). The hashtag appeared after Najwa Shihab interviewed an empty seat in the program he hosted, Tuesday (29/9/2020).
“Why disappeared, sir? You have rarely appeared in public giving explanations during a pandemic. It seems that the Minister of Health who has the lowest profile in the world during this outbreak is only the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia,” Najwa asked the ’empty chair’, as quoted by Migran Pos from Najwa Shihab’s Youtube channel, Monday (28/9/2020).
As is well known to the public, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Najwa Shihab as the host of the Mata Najwa program which aired on Trans7 dig up a lot of information about the handling of the pandemic in Indonesia from various sources.
It was noted that the speakers presented by Najwa Shihab came from various levels of policy makers ranging from regional heads, the Covid-19 task force to the President of the Republic of Indonesia.
However, according to Najwa’s confession, Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto was not even willing to attend the event he was hosting. Therefore, Najwa Shihab made a special episode with the title “#MataNajwaMenantiTerawan” which was then published on his YouTube channel in the hope that Terawan would come to the show.
