Reprimand, Suspension, and BGN Inspection Following Viral Video of Man Dancing in MBG Kitchen
A viral video of a man dancing in a Satuan Pelayanan Pemenuhan Gizi (SPPG) has resulted in an apology. The kitchen for the Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) programme has now been suspended and inspected directly by the Badan Gizi Nasional (BGN).
In a social media video upload, a man was seen dancing to music inside a room displaying the BGN logo.
Netizens criticised the actions of the MBG partner. The man then responded to netizen comments by boasting about his daily income from the programme, amounting to Rp 6 million per day.
Deputy Head of BGN, Nanik Sudaryati Deyang, expressed regret over the man’s actions. She admitted to being disappointed with the man, who is the partner owning the SPPG.
“Clearly, we are very regretful and disappointed with such behaviour from the partner,” Nanik told reporters on Tuesday (24/3/2026).
Nanik also highlighted the man’s actions, noting that he was in the MBG kitchen without personal protective equipment (APD).
“Why act so excessively like that, especially creating content in the kitchen without APD? Of course, we will monitor his kitchen,” she said.
Stern Reprimand
The Director of Monitoring and Supervision at BGN has met with the man and issued a stern reprimand.
“I just spoke on the phone with Brigjen Doni Dewantoro, Director of Tauwas for Region II; he has already met and sternly reprimanded him,” she added.
Nanik stated that BGN has monitored the man’s SPPG and temporarily frozen (suspended) it. The man’s SPPG was suspended because it did not comply with technical guidelines (juknis) after BGN’s inspection.
“Coincidentally, after checking the kitchen, it turned out the layout was wrong and the IPAL (wastewater treatment installation) was not proper, so we suspended it,” she said.
BGN Emphasises SPPG Is Not a Business
Nanik said that based on information received, the viral man owns seven SPPGs. Nanik reminded that owning an SPPG is not a business project.
“So I recall he said he got seven kitchens, seven points. But only one is running and has started. The others are not yet, not operational,” Nanik told reporters on Tuesday (24/3/2026).
“This is not a business. This is a government programme to educate children. Not to be treated like that,” she added.
Nanik emphasised that her side has temporarily suspended (suspended) one of the man’s SPPGs after discovering non-compliance with technical guidelines (juknis). Meanwhile, the man’s other six SPPGs are not yet operational and will be closely monitored by BGN during the establishment and implementation process.
“(The reason for suspension) Wrong layout. There are technical guidelines for the layout, for example, the kitchen must be like this. That’s the guideline. Well, the layout was wrong,” she explained.
Direct BGN Inspection
BGN immediately inspected the SPPG where the man was dancing in the kitchen. The inspection was led by Brigjen Doni Dewantoro, Director of Monitoring and Supervision for Region II at BGN.
During the inspection, Brigjen Doni observed the areas around the SPPG.
“It should be, sir, the place is difficult too. How do we pass through? It’s tricky, isn’t it, sir?” said Brigjen Doni, in a video viewed on Wednesday (25/3/2026).
A man then explained the condition of his SPPG to the BGN team. Brigjen Doni subsequently gave several instructions to the SPPG owner.
“This, sir, like this, sir, this one, just add a door here. This can be used as a storage area. It’s OK. It shouldn’t be, sir; it should be from the stove area to the packing area. This passes through the loading area; this loading area is dirty, sir. Clear, right? This door, we can just function it, sir,” said Brigjen Doni.
The SPPG owner was seen listening to instructions regarding improvements to his kitchen. “Ready, sir, if it needs to be closed, ready, sir,” he said.
SPPG Owner Apologises
The SPPG owner has now issued an apology. From investigations, the man is an MBG partner from Batujajar, West Bandung Regency (KBB).
detikJabar has attempted to confirm via WhatsApp messages and phone calls regarding the viral video but has not received a response from the individual.
However, in his latest video, Hendrik Irawan uploaded an apology for his bizarre actions. He apologised to netizens amid the widespread criticism of his viral dancing antics.
“I, Hendrik Irawan, apologise to the netizens; I don’t mind being criticised every day, and I had no intention of disrespecting the programme of President Prabowo Subianto,” said Hendrik in his upload.
He also addressed the Rp 6 million profit he mentioned. The Rp 6 million profit is actually an incentive he received from President Prabowo Subianto.
“So that’s not from the MBG allocation for children, but an incentive from Mr Prabowo Subianto because I built this SPPG kitchen using my own money. I did not build this SPPG using government funds,” said Hendrik.
He also apologised to President Prabowo Subianto, who initiated the programme.
“I also want to apologise to Mr President as the symbol of the state and the highest leader,” said Hendrik.
