​Counter-Governor Fachrurozi’s parody Twitter account is a comedy goldmine

Some mysterious Tweep found Jakarta Counter-Governor Fachrurozi Ishaq as amusing as we do, so they decided to create a Twitter account in honor of the Jakarta governor ‘inaugurated’ by the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI).

Given that Fachrurozi doesn’t have his own Twitter account (though we imagine he’d have at least 20 followers from FPI if he had one), this Twitter impostor went ahead and used the counter governor’s name for his Twitter handle, @FahruroziIshaq.

Using true Betawi colloquialisms, Twitter-Fachrurozi often tweets about many of the issues surrounding the capital city. Unlike the real counter-governor, who really hasn’t done anything at all since he ‘took office’ last week, Twitter-Fachrurozi actually offers solutions to the city, albeit those that can be conveyed in 140 characters.

Workers protesting [about minimum pay] should calm down, I’m going to increase the minimum wage three-fold just for workers who do well in [the mobile game] Pokopang.

Today’s work program: Recycle all the city trash to patch over the potholes in the city. Any of you want to donate your [trashy] exes?

But it’s not all about work for Twitter-Fachrurozi. He hasn’t forgotten his hard-liner FPI roots, and he wants to burn everything he doesn’t agree with.

Girls who take ‘duckface’ selfies are servants of the devil. Their mouths look like the Baphomet goat. Buuuurn!

People of Jakarta should exit the angkot minivan through the driver’s door on the right. The passenger’s door on the left is the door of the infidel devil. Buuuuurn!

If you too find the ‘duckface’ irritating and you want to join FPI’s cause, Twitter-Fachrurozi has the essentials for you:
