The Story of King Salman while in Indonesia
Manar Saheen, a social media celebrity who has more than two million Twitter followers, thoughtlessly canceled an invitation to visit Cape Town in South Africa, as soon as there was an offer to Indonesia at the same time.
The man of Palestinian descent, who works as an ophthalmologist in his daily life, admitted that he had long dreamed of visiting Indonesia. This is the information obtained from the Indonesian Consulate General in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Monday, April 3, 2017.
A visit to Indonesia has also been a dream for Intisar Halak, CEO of online media www.halak.com. "My mother and younger sister made me jealous when they showed me their photos in Malang last summer," said the journalist who likes to travel abroad.
He even canceled his planned assignment to cover activities in Turkey in order to realize his desire to know Indonesia. A bamboo fence was built to delimit the private area at the St Regis Hotel, Nusa Dua, where King Salman and his entourage stayed while in Bali, March 2, 2017. REUTERS/Nyimas Laula
"Saudis were touched by the great response of the Indonesian people to the arrival of King Salman and it gave rise to a high curiosity to know better about Indonesia," said Al-Ekhbariah TV journalist, Sagr Khaled al Maliki.
The journalist said that the photo of President Jokowi with King Salman as an umbrella during a visit to the Bogor Palace had become a trend.
In fact, Sagr Khaled al Maliki continued, many Saudis use it as a profile picture on their Facebook page. The public expresses appreciation and respect for the hospitality shown by Indonesia.
