JAKARTA: Scores of social media users have started referring to President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo by his birth name Mulyono, amid growing opposition to the outgoing leader, who is believed to be behind the country’s backsliding democracy.
Mulyono, which means “noble”, is quite a popular name among Javanese people, but the name did not seem to bring good luck to Jokowi.
