Baim Wong's Sad Story of Cancelled Hajj Departure Even Though He Has Already Boarded the Plane

Dream - Baim Wong feels disappointed because his hajj departure has been postponed. Even though he has already boarded the plane to Mecca on June 7, 2023.

"I must be sad. I have already boarded the plane," said Baim Wong in South Jakarta, Thursday, June 8, 2023.

However, Baim cannot confirm whether the hajj trip has been completely cancelled or not. The travel agency that brought him has not provided an explanation yet.

Baim can only be patient and will not force his will. Because going on Hajj is also a call from Allah.

Called Jobless for Selling Pans, Baim Wong Gives a Powerful Response

Dream - Actor and YouTuber Baim Wong has started following in the footsteps of other celebrities who utilize the TikTok feature for selling products. However, the way he does it has received unpleasant comments from netizens.

When he was live streaming to sell pans, Baim was mocked with comments about having no job offers.

In the YouTube channel Kiano and Kenzo Diary, Baim appeared skillful in promoting the pans for sale. Not only that, Baim also interacted with his followers by reading out comments written by netizens.

However, there was one comment that made Baim angry. Paula Verhoeven's husband was sarcastically told that he no longer gets jobs because his face no longer appears on television.

Intent on Helping a Student, Baim Wong Pays Half of the School Fee Arrears for a Student in This Jakarta Junior High School

Dream - Baim Wong was surprised when he was about to pay a student's school fee at Al Ihsan Pesangrahan Islamic Junior High School in Jakarta. Paula Verhoeven's husband did not expect that many families of students at the school could not afford to pay the school fees.

As a result, Baim, who initially planned to pay the school fees for one underprivileged student, had to make a donation of hundreds of millions of rupiah.

Quoted from the story written by Baim Wong on his Instagram account, the father of two initially met with a teacher to pay the school fees for one of the students.

Unexpectedly, Baim was approached by a teacher who told him about the condition of the students at the school.

"Not just him, Mas Baim, there are many who can't pay the school fees," wrote Baim, who was surprised to hear the teacher's statement.

Upon hearing the teacher's statement, Baim finally asked the school to calculate all the expenses of the underprivileged students who had not paid their fees.

Based on the school's calculations, the arrears of fees from the underprivileged students amounted to 300 million rupiah.

Not only the students, Baim also learned that the arrears of school fees from the students would affect the salaries of the teachers.

"I just found out that it affects the teachers' salaries," he said.
