Chiki Fawzi: Kekecewaan Dipulangkan dari Tugas Haji Influencer

Chiki Fawzi, daughter of Indonesian actor Ikang Fawzi, has become the focus of public attention after being removed from the roster of 2026 Hajj pilgrimage facilitators selected through an influencer programme. Chiki Fawzi expressed disappointment with the decision, stating she believed she had fulfilled all required processes.

Sudden Removal and Prior Commitments

According to statements made on February 6, 2026, at the Brownis Studio Trans TV, Chiki Fawzi had completed the necessary training before being unexpectedly sent home. She also noted her prior commitments to humanitarian work, including activities in Palestine and Syria providing winter assistance.

Did You Know? Chiki Fawzi and other influencers were initially slated to participate in aid activities in Palestine and Syria before the Hajj facilitator programme.

Singled Out and Accusations of a Hidden Agenda

Chiki Fawzi stated she was the only influencer removed from the programme. She indicated that those who made the decision conveyed to her that there was a reason beyond the stated concerns, suggesting someone “didn’t want me there.”

Defense Against Allegations and Framing

Chiki Fawzi strongly refuted claims that she was seeking attention or creating drama. She explained that her public response was a defense against what she described as illogical accusations. She shared a timeline and video evidence of meetings with a Deputy Minister and the Hajj Ministry team alongside other influencers.

Expert Insight: The situation highlights the potential complexities of integrating public figures, particularly those with established online presences, into traditionally sacred and regulated events like the Hajj pilgrimage.

However, after posting her clarification, Chiki Fawzi felt she was again subjected to negative framing and attacks. She expressed a desire to move forward and avoid further conflict.

A Sense of Injustice and Disproportionate Scrutiny

Chiki Fawzi expressed feeling unfairly treated, stating, “I already gave my all. Here’s for becoming a Hajj officer, something that should be sacred.” She likened the level of scrutiny she faced to that of someone being considered for a position as a Deputy Governor of the Bank of Indonesia.

She described serving as a Hajj officer as a “highest calling” and expressed sadness at having this opportunity taken away after preparing to serve.

Clarification on Selection Process

Addressing claims that she hadn’t been officially selected, Chiki Fawzi clarified that she, along with other influencers, were directly appointed (PL – Penunjukan Langsung) and did not undergo the standard Computer Assisted Test (CAT). She believes this contributed to the spread of misinformation.

Chiki Fawzi stated she understands her removal was due to direction from superiors and has accepted the decision.
