Unfortunately, Jokowi fails to notice her signals, leaving Iriana to gesture anxiously for several minutes as she continues to try to get his attention.

The video then shows Iriana as she calls on a member of the Presidential Security Detail (Paspampres) to ask him to tell Jokowi about his messy fringe.

After being informed, Jokowi hurriedly tidies his fringe while telling the audiences about what just happened, leading them to burst into laughter. (kes)
