Jakarta – President Prabowo Subianto visited and greeted residents in areas affected by flash floods in Aceh Tamiang. There was a moment when Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya greeted the residents until Prabowo’s group was left behind. The moment began with screams from residents calling Teddy’s name and waving their hands in Aceh Tamiang, Friday (12/12/2025). “Mr. Teddy, Mr. Teddy,” shouted a number of mothers, holding up their cellphones. Teddy then approached, shaking hands and joking to calm the residents who seemed nervous about being able to meet him in person. When he returned to the vehicle, Teddy was still in the crowd of residents wanting to shake hands.

Unable to catch up, Teddy ended up riding in a journalist’s car at the back of the convoy. “(The group left behind) yes, I had time to meet the residents first. It’s not nice for them to wait,” Teddy said. In the journalist’s car, Teddy sat near the door, which was deliberately left slightly open. From that gap he continued to wave to the residents standing along the road. Teddy Indra Wijaya greets residents after missing Prabowo’s group in Aceh Tamiang.

Residents along the road reacted loudly. Some shouted Teddy’s name, some jogged while holding up their cell phones, and some just smiled when they saw Teddy. During a short chat with journalists, Teddy also talked about Prabowo’s habits when he goes through disaster areas. “The car is slow because of the dust. The train in front is also slow so the dust doesn’t get high,” he added. (eva/rfs)
