        "content": "<p>Member of Parliament Surya Utama, or Uya Kuya, has lodged a police\nreport (LP) with Metro Jaya Regional Police regarding allegations of\ndisseminating false news by social media accounts. This action was taken\nafter he was accused of owning 750 free nutritious meal kitchens (MBG).\nThe report is documented under number: LP\/B\/2746\/TV\/2026\/SPKT\/POLDA\nMETRO JAYA. Uya spotted the posts containing the accusations on several\nThreads accounts on Saturday (18\/4). \u201cYes, it\u2019s true. (Regarding) the\ndissemination of false news,\u201d stated the Head of Public Relations of\nMetro Jaya Regional Police, Commissioner Budi Hermanto, when contacted\nby reporters on Sunday (19\/4). The accounts posted an edited photo of\nUya with a caption claiming he owns 750 MBG kitchens. Uya considers this\nfalse news presented as authentic information. Due to the incident, Uya\nfelt harmed and visited the Criminal Investigation Unit of Metro Jaya\nRegional Police to file the report related to Information and Electronic\nTransactions Crimes under Law Number 1\/2024 on the Second Amendment to\nLaw Number 11\/2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions as\nreferred to in Article 51 Paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 35\nand\/or Article 263 of the Criminal Code and\/or Article 264 of the\nCriminal Code. What is the reason behind Uya Kuya reporting those social\nmedia accounts? Here is the explanation. Uya Kuya explained the reasons\nfor taking legal action on the matter. He stressed that the circulating\nnews on social media is untrue. \u201cBecause it\u2019s a hoax, considering that\nthe ransacking of my house was also due to massively circulating hoax\nvideos that were left unchecked. Many old videos from my TikTok were\ngiven captions as if they were my statements, even though I never said\nanything at that time,\u201d Uya said when contacted by reporters on Sunday\n(19\/4). Uya expressed confusion about the origin of the accusation that\nhe owns 750 MBG kitchens. This PAN legislator affirmed that he does not\nown a single MBG kitchen. \u201cAnd what confuses me is where that story came\nfrom about me owning MBG kitchens. Because to this day, I don\u2019t own a\nsingle MBG kitchen except for my restaurant kitchen in Benhil called\nAsli Rasa,\u201d he said. Uya admitted to being puzzled by the hoax videos\nfeaturing him from those accounts. He then alluded to the home\nransacking in 2025 due to false news on social media. \u201cWhat more do they\nwant from me? My house and family were already sacrificed last time by\nusing hoax videos from my old videos that were added with captions as if\nthey were from me. And the house that was ransacked hasn\u2019t even finished\nbeing renovated yet, now I\u2019m being slandered again, why am I the one\nbeing slandered again,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
