PETALING JAYA, Sept 29 — Indonesian newscaster Najwa Shahib hosted an “interview” with an empty chair last night after the country’s Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto snubbed her invitation to discuss the Covid-19 situation in the republic.
Najwa stated in a Twitter post that she had repeatedly extended an invitation to Terawan to appear on the show but received no reply. Najwa didn’t miss the chance to take a swipe at Terawan’s absence either, calling him the “most low-profile health minister” in the world. She noted that other government officials had previously appeared on Mata Najwa to talk about Covid-19 but lamented that the health ministry was seemingly reluctant to speak to journalists about the ongoing situation.
