Jember DPRD Member Apologises After Playing Game and Smoking During Meeting

I am aware of what I did. I was negligent. I hope this becomes a lesson in my life,” he said, as reported by detikJatim on Thursday (14/5/2026). The Gerindra Party politician conveyed a special apology to the people of Jember as his constituents. He also apologised to the party leadership, including Gerindra Party General Chairman Prabowo Subianto. “I apologise profusely to the public, especially the people of Jember. I also apologise to the General Chairman and the party leadership for that unethical behaviour,” he stated. The meeting attended by Syahri was known to be an important agenda discussing stunting issues in Jember. Therefore, he stated that he is ready to accept the consequences of his actions, both from the internal party and from the DPRD Honour Board. “I am ready to receive sanctions, both from the internal party side and from the district DPRD institution,” he explained. Previously, Syahri’s actions triggered an uproar in society after he was recorded by the camera engrossed in playing the game Clash of Clans (CoC) while smoking in an air-conditioned room. In fact, at that time, a serious meeting on handling stunting was taking place in the Jember DPRD Building.
