        "summary": "A viral video featuring Hendrik Irawan, a partner in Indonesia's Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme, has sparked public controversy over claims of receiving a Rp6 million daily incentive without transparency. Irawan clarified that the incentive, provided under the National Nutrition Agency's guidelines for 24 operational days per month, is operational appreciation for partners building compliant kitchen facilities, while his Rp3.5 billion investment in a nearly 1,000 square metre kitchen was entirely self-funded without government assistance. He apologised for the misunderstanding and announced legal action against social media accounts spreading damaging narratives about the programme.",
