T
he youngest son of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, Kaesang Pangarep, has uploaded an amusing video on his YouTube account featuring an arm-wrestling contest between him and his father.
The one-and-half-minute video shows the President challenging his son to an arm-wrestling contest despite the 22-year old lad appearing to have a stronger, more muscular body.
“Look at my body, smaller than you, but I dare to challenge you to arm wrestle me,” Jokowi says as quoted by Kompas.com. Kaesang uploaded the video on YouTube on Saturday.
Kaesang ended the match teasing his father to surrender the contest unless he was prepared to get injured. Jokowi refused to end the challenge arguing that bigger did not mean stronger.
“Bigger doesn’t mean stronger. The bigger one is he who has the greater patience and godliness,” Jokowi says. (dan)
