Shindy Lutfiana, the MC of the final round of the LCC Empat Pilar MPR RI competition in West Kalimantan, has lost her contract with a wedding planner and several other jobs following widespread criticism of her remarks.
The 9 May 2026 final in Pontianak drew controversy when Shindy told a protesting SMAN 1 Pontianak participant that the jury's scoring decision was "only the feeling of the younger siblings." The comment quickly went viral and prompted calls for a boycott.
On 12 May 2026, Avi Catering announced it had ended its professional relationship with Shindy. She has since reported losing multiple wedding-MC bookings as a direct result of the online backlash. Shindy has already issued a public apology on Instagram, describing the episode as a lesson to be more careful with her words.
