An official in Indonesia\u2019s Gayo Lues district, Aceh, has resigned\nfrom his position following public outrage over his daughter\u2019s social\nmedia posts flaunting a luxurious lifestyle. Nevi Rizal, the Assistant I\nfor Government, Special Autonomy of Aceh, and People\u2019s Welfare at the\nGayo Lues Regional Secretariat, submitted his resignation on Thursday,\nciting moral and ethical responsibility. He stated that although the\nissue was personal, it had the potential to undermine public trust in\nthe local government.<\/p>\n
Rizal\u2019s daughter, Dea Arranoya, became the centre of controversy\nafter posting content on social media that was perceived as \u2018flexing\u2019 or\nshowing off wealth. In a widely criticised post from December 2025, she\ndisplayed a row of jerry cans filled with fuel at a time when many in\nthe community were facing economic difficulties. In an open letter dated\n22 July, Dea publicly apologised to the people of Gayo Lues,\nacknowledging her actions as negligent and immature. She confirmed that\nall related content had been removed from her social media accounts and\npledged to be more humble and considerate in the future.<\/p>\n
In his resignation letter, Rizal emphasised that his decision was\nmade to protect the integrity of the institution and to allow for a\nproper evaluation process. Gayo Lues Deputy Regent H. Maliki confirmed\nreceipt of the resignation and stated that the government would process\nit according to established mechanisms. He added that a special team\nwould be formed to investigate the matter thoroughly and transparently\nto maintain public trust.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/gayo-lues-official-resigns-after-daughters-flexing-sparks-public-outrage-1784789602", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
