🎓 The Jokowi Diploma Drama started very quietly, like a shy cat in 2014. Jokowi joined the election, and suddenly some people whispered, “Hmm… where is his diploma?” Nobody shouted. Nobody ran. Just whisper, whisper, whisper. It was a small noise, like a mosquito that is annoying but easy to ignore.
In 2015, the whisper learned how to talk. A politician said, “Please show the diplomas to the public.” The drama was still polite and calm. No angry faces yet. People said it was to stop fake diplomas, not to start a fight. The stove was on, but the water was not boiling yet.
In 2019, things became spicy. One man said Jokowi’s school diplomas were fake. Police quickly said, “Nope. That is fake news.” The man was arrested, and the school principal came like a teacher in class and said, “Yes, Jokowi studied here. Yes, he graduated. End of story.” Drama level: wrong answer, sit down.
In 2020 and 2022, the internet took over. Facebook & Social media users became detectives, comparing signatures and fonts like CSI: Diploma Edition. Then in 2022, someone went to court and shouted, “The diplomas are fake!” The court asked, “Where is the proof?” Silence. The case crashed hard. UGM said calmly, “He graduated in 1985. The diploma is real. Please go home.”
In 2025, the drama returned for one last episode. A YouTube video talked about fonts, protesters visited campus and Jokowi’s house, and everyone asked the same old question again. Finally, police checked everything carefully and said, “Relax. The diploma is real. Case closed.” Mic drop. Curtain down. Same story, many seasons — but the ending stayed the same 😄📺
