What is circulating
“West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi is offering Rp50 million in business capital to people in need via Facebook.”
Claimed by Facebook account impersonating Dedi Mulyadi · social media
The facts
The offer came from an unverified account using his photo and the nickname KDM, not from his official Facebook page, which has existed since 2009. Dedi has warned the public about scammers using his name.
What is circulating
“National Economic Council chair Luhut Pandjaitan said Dedi Mulyadi went to flood-hit Sumatra only to make image-building content.”
Claimed by Facebook posts · social media
The facts
Kompas found no record of Luhut making the remark; the posts paired his photo with an invented quote after Dedi's visit to Sumatra in early December 2025.
What is circulating
“"Bandung's surface is already far below sea level. That is why the water always rises every rainy season," Dedi Mulyadi said on 10 December 2025.”
Claimed by Dedi Mulyadi, Governor of West Java · official statement
The facts
BPS data from 2024 put Bandung's average elevation at 650 to 800 metres above sea level, with the lowest district, Gedebage, at 666 metres. Land subsidence in Bandung is real, at about 2 to 10 centimetres a year according to an ITB geodesy expert, but that cannot bring a city hundreds of metres up and far from the coast below sea level.
