Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama said he got in touch with Kompas TV’s News Director Rosiana Silalahi to apologize for his potty mouth on live television that led to the Indonesian Broadcast Commission (KPI) sanctioning Kompas TV.
But in a way, Ahok still blames Kompas TV interviewer Aiman Wicaksono’s incessant questioning method for losing his cool and saying “shit” several times during a live broadcast last week.
“I contacted Rosi (Rosiana) kok, via BBM (Blackberry Messenger). I said sorry lah, but next time, don’t ask baity questions. And the interviewer should be female, it would be more comfortable that way,” Ahok said at City Hall yesterday, as quoted by Suara.
Ahok said he’d bear some of the responsibility if the KPI were to sanction him as well.
