Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Fahri Hamzah also said happy birthday to Jokowi by criticizing the president.
“The most basic weakness of president @jokowi is that all his strengths are the cause of his most basic weaknesses. He doesn't know many people, so there is a conspiracy around him that makes him look like he does not control the situation. #Milad57JKW,” he said.
President Jokowi also received a birthday greeting from an Indonesian music composer Addie MS.
“Happy birthday, Pak Jokowi! May you always be healthy in carrying heavy duty,” he said.
