Meanwhile, Bahlil responded by addressing creativity, but added that it must be accompanied by responsibility. ‘I appreciate people’s creativity, especially the younger generation and friends. But my suggestion is that in this democratic era, social media is important, yet it should be used responsibly.

As a public official, one must accept all consequences,’ he added.
