First Lady vents spleen on Instagram, again

F

irst Lady Ani Yudhoyono has directed her anger towardone of her Instagram followers for making a comment about her fashion choice.

In one of Ani'€™s Instagram updates, she posted a photo showing her and her family at Lanyae Beach in Pacitan regency, East Java. In the photo, Ani wore traditional Javanese batik.

Kontan.co.id reported that one of Ani'€™s followers had commented by saying that Ani had shifted batik'€™s function from formal dress to casual leisure-time attire.

This comment apparently angered the First Lady, as she replied: '€œ[Glory be to God], your comment is so stupid. Why did you not think that perhaps we were on an official engagement and had just taken a brief moment to enjoy the beach? Come on, have you nothing better to say?'€

The target of Ani'€™s temper then responded, asking for her guidance so he could be smarter.

'€œYes ma'€™am, I am probably a stupid Indonesian. I hope you can enlighten me so I can be as smart as you,'€ he replied.

This is not the first time an Instagram comment has upset the First Lady.

Previously, Ani was left fuming after a number of Instagram users accused her of editing a photograph of her granddaughter.
