Breadfruit, MC – Visiting for the first time and receiving a banquet at the Bahrul Maghfiroh Islamic Boarding School, Timor Leste Minister of Agriculture Regio Salu fell in love with Malang meatballs. The man whose full name is Dr. Regio da Cruz Salu spontaneously conveyed that Bahrul Maghfiroh Islamic Boarding School should open a Malang meatball branch in Timor Leste, Tuesday (9/8).
As if the response was positive, the caretaker of Bahrul Maghfiroh Islamic Boarding School, KH Luqman Al-Karim, was also interested in exploring the possibility of opening a business in Timor Leste. Gus Lukman's experience in opening a business in Saudi Arabia and Yemen made cooperation with Timor Leste through Malang meatball diplomacy more open.
Bakso Malang, as expressed by Regio is known to be very delicious. If only Bakso Malang was sold in Timor Leste, he hopes that Timor Leste residents would not have to travel far just to buy bakso.
"So far, just to eat meatballs, Krisdayanti usually flies to Bali to be able to taste Malang's specialty meatballs. We hope that with Malang meatballs in Timor Leste, Krisdayanti and the people of Timor Leste who want to enjoy Malang meatballs do not need to leave the area," Regio hoped, Tuesday (9/8).
In addition to cooperation in the economic sector, Regio also expressed his interest in adopting this Islamic boarding school's method of dealing with drug addicts.
Gus Lukman, as KH Luqman Al-Karim is usually called, admitted that he was pleased with the presence of the Minister of Agriculture of Timor Leste in Bahrul Maghfiroh.
"In the future, there are many things we can collaborate with Timor Leste. Bakso Malang is likely to be the opening path. At this time, we will continue to develop the cooperation that can be built," explained Gus Lukman.
On this occasion, Gus Lukman also showed how Bahrul Maghfiroh Islamic Boarding School handles drug addicts. "We only use green coconuts to treat addicts. If we use chemical drugs, there will definitely be dangerous side effects," said Gus Lukman. (cah/yon)
