Hoax! Video of Purbaya Announcing Grant Funds from Saudi Arabia

Jakarta (ANTARA/JACX) – A post on the Facebook social media platform claims that Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa announced a grant fund assistance programme from Saudi Arabia that the public can access by registering through a specific contact. The post features a video and narrative as if Purbaya is delivering official information while urging the public to register immediately. The following is the narrative in the post: “VIRAL FINANCE MINISTER PAK PURBAYA CLARIFIES SAUDI ARABIA GRANT FUND ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME”. However, is it true that Purbaya announced this? Explanation: Based on the search results, no official information or reports from credible sources were found mentioning a Saudi Arabian grant fund programme opened to the general public through registration as claimed. Additionally, the examination shows that the voice in the video is an artificial intelligence (AI) fabrication, so it cannot be considered an official statement. Therefore, the claim that Finance Minister Purbaya announced a Saudi Arabian grant fund assistance programme accessible to the public is untrue information or a hoax.
