  • A video that has been viewed thousands of times on Facebook and Twitter purportedly shows people calling Indonesian President Joko Widodo, better known as Jokowi, a liar. The claim is false; the video has been doctored from TV news footage without the liar chant. One of the posts sharing the video is this one on Facebook, where the 38-second clip has been viewed around 8,000 times and shared more than 300 times since it was published on April 21, 2019. The video begins with an on-screen title that says, translated to English: People shouting as Jokowi visits a shopping mall. The logo of Indonesian broadcaster Kompas TV also appears in the top right-hand corner. Below is a screenshot of the false Facebook post: Screenshot of misleading Facebook post At the 0:08 mark in the video, people can be heard shouting Liar! Liar! in Indonesian as Widodo goes up an escalator. Indonesian-language text also appears on the screen that says: President Jokowi, who is also the presidential candidate number 01, visited the Grand Indonesia mall in Jakarta this weekend (20/4/2019). Widodo ran in Indonesia's presidential election on April 17, 2019, against his sole challenger, Prabowo Subianto. The incumbent's ballot number is 01, while Subianto’s is 02. Here is an official announcement from Indonesia’s election commission about the presidential candidates and their respective ballot numbers. Grand Indonesia is a shopping mall in Jakarta, on Google Maps here . The caption of the Facebook post, translated to English, says: President Jokowi has no values any more everywhere he is called a liar, a liar, a liar, followed by hashtags that say, President is called a liar and Aren’t you embarrassed and a sentence that says: HAHAHAHA.... FORGOT YOU HAVE NO SHAME OOPS. The same 38-second video was also shared in this April 21, 2109, post on Facebook where it has been viewed 1,300 times. It has also been shared on Twitter, for example here where it was viewed more than 570 times after being posted on April 21 but has since been taken down.
