KASN also requested that the recommendation file for the alleged violation of ASN neutrality on behalf of Muhammadun be copied to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of PANRB, Head of BKN, and Bawaslu.

Nevertheless, the South Kalimantan Bawaslu said that sufficient evidence had been fulfilled as another alleged violation of the law, namely the principle of ASN neutrality, both regulated in Law Number 7 of 2017 Article 283 paragraph 2, and Law Number 20 of 2023 concerning ASNjuncto Government Regulation Number 42 of 2004 concerning Corps Mental Development and Civil Servant Code of Ethics, in conjunction with Government Regulation Number 94 of 2021 concerning Civil Servant Discipline.

The Head of the Education and Culture Office of South Kalimantan Muhammadun is in the public spotlight after the viral video containing an invitation to vote for the Golkar Party in the 2024 General Election during an event at a school in Banjarmasin was widely circulated.

The video case of the Kadisdikbud was then followed up by the South Kalimantan Bawaslu and then reported to KASN.
