Suara.com – Umay Shahab is currently being talked about after commenting on the free lunch program initiated by Candidate Candidate 02 Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
Through his X account, the actor who was born on February 16 2001 advised people who need to eat to pretend to be artist assistants and come to the shooting location.
“If you want a free lunch, just come to the shooting location. “Just tell me you're an artist's assistant, never mind lunch, black coffee, sweet iced tea, even fried food,” said Umay on the X account which he has now locked, quoted on Thursday (8/2/2024).

This tweet, which Refal Hady also commented on, made both of them the target of netizens. Not a few people asked to cancel Umay and Refal because their uploads were considered outrageous.
Even though Umay is an Indonesian artist who has had a career since childhood. In fact, nowadays Umay is increasingly determined to try out his role behind the scenes, namely as a director, and has produced a number of works that are loved by the public.
