The administration of SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jogja has responded to a viral video showing a teenager, reportedly named Bayu, claiming he was removed from his position as OSIS chairman at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jogja after criticising the free nutritious meal programme (MBG).
Viral Video on X
In a 1 minute 17 second video uploaded by the X account @regar_oposisi, a teenager introduces himself as Bayu and the OSIS chairman of SMA Muhammadiyah 3.
“Bayu, OSIS chairman of SMA 3 Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. Unilaterally deposed as OSIS chairman by the school for criticising and rejecting MBG. Please clarify @muhammadiyah,” read the post, as seen by detikJogja on Monday (6/4/2026).
Response from SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jogja
When contacted for confirmation regarding the video, Muflikh Najib, Deputy Head of Student Affairs at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jogja, confirmed that the teenager is indeed named Bayu and is a year 12 student at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jogja.
However, Muflikh stated that Bayu is not the OSIS chairman of SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jogja.
“Bayu himself is not the OSIS chairman or IPM chairman; he is now in year 12. Organisational positions are for year 11 students. Last year in year 11, Bayu did not participate in the organisation and was not the chairman. He was involved in year 10 but only for a few months before resigning,” he said when met by reporters at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jogja on Monday (6/4/2026).
Muflikh also said they had summoned Bayu for clarification.
“When we asked him, the student himself said it was a lie. We haven’t finished delving deeper because year 12 students are currently taking exams. For now, this is all we can say,” Muflikh stated.
Regarding MBG at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jogja
Muflikh said Bayu’s statements about MBG in the video are also not factual.
“We only received MBG this year, and this year Bayu is in year 12, while organisations are for year 11. So everything he said is not true,” he remarked.
Muflikh added that the school does not know when or where the viral video was recorded.
“I’m not sure, but from the video, it looks like some kind of gathering; I don’t know,” he said.
“We are currently investigating this issue, digging into the motives, the purpose, and the objectives. In our view, this is disturbing,” he continued.
