Afraid of being exposed, Atta Halilintar refused the offer to contest the election
The line of celebrities jumping into the political arena in Indonesia seems to be a new phenomenon.
In addition to the existing big names who are already involved in the world of politics such as Kris Dayanti, the nomination of legislators for the 2024 General Election (PEMILU) also comes from other famous stars.
This includes the singer Marcell, Once and the two sons of the founder of the band Dewa 19, El Rumi and Al Ghazali.
At a time when many comrades are joining politics and are ready to be candidates or representatives of their respective parties in the 2024 ELECTIONS, it is not the case with the famous YouTuber, Atta Halilintar.
Aurel Hermasyah’s husband admitted that he had been ‘engaged’ by a political party, the Indonesian Political Party, to be their candidate in the upcoming general election.
However, Atta said he refused the proposal.
“Actually, I’m too lazy to talk about this. To be honest, I got an offer to join a big political fairy.
“But I have not yet been called to join politics,” he said as reported by Tribunnews.com.
Atta, 28, also admitted that he refused to join the political arena because he did not want his shame to be revealed.
“I’m afraid because now I’m going to give birth to a second child.
“In the world of entertainment alone, there is a lot of risk of old disgrace or everything being exposed. I think in the political world this (disgrace) will happen even worse.
“I think if you enter politics, the disgrace will be exposed and you will be afraid that the children will see it,” said Atta.
However, Atta said he would consider entering the political arena when the time was right and he no longer needed money.
“Maybe when I get a lot of money from the entertainment world, I will jump into the world of politics.
“At that time, my life was only for the people,” he said again.
