Viral Man Dancing in MBG Kitchen Explains the 'Rp 6 Million Earnings'

Hendrik Irawan, a partner in the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme, has apologised to President Prabowo Subianto regarding the viral dancing antics and boasting about earnings. The man who owns a nutritional fulfilment service unit (SPPG) also explained the Rp 6 million incentive.

“So today I am explaining where the Rp 6 million incentive I received comes from. Don’t let netizens make a blunder. So that incentive is not taken from the children’s share; it is an incentive provided by Father President (Prabowo Subianto),” Hendrik said in his post, as reported by detikJabar on Wednesday (25/3/2026).

Hendrik explained that he spent up to Rp 3.5 billion in capital to build the SPPG in Pangauban Village, Batujajar Subdistrict, West Bandung Regency. His SPPG stands on land of about 1,000 square metres.

“We built this kitchen with our own money. I built this SPPG without using government funds. Now, from the government collaborating with partners, that money is just a replacement during the programme’s operation. It’s not free; I spent Rp 3.5 billion in capital to join Father Prabowo’s programme,” he said.

Hendrik explained that he has not yet broken even despite receiving Rp 6 million per day. That money is also not received every day for a full month.

“So from President Prabowo, he gave appreciation that I built a good kitchen. To be honest, we haven’t broken even yet. And that money isn’t Rp 6 million times 30 days, but times 24 days,” he said.
