Give 'Spirit' To JoMan Chair On Urge To Fire, Refly Harun Says Sustenance Doesn't Depend On Erick Thohir And BUMN

JAKARTA - Constitutional law expert Refly Harun supports Immanuel Ebenezer's attitude that he is not afraid to be fired from a BUMN because of his attitude in defending the defendant in the terrorism case, Munarman. According to Refly, the affairs of everyone's sustenance have been arranged by Allah SWT.

"God willing, the sustenance does not depend on Erick Thohir and BUMN, not only on power but on Allah SWT who provides sustenance," explained Refly through his YouTube channel @Refly Harun quoted on Friday, March 4.

Noel currently serves as the President Commissioner of PT Mega Elektra (ME), a subsidiary of PT Pupuk Indonesia Holding Company (Persero) (PIHC). So far, Noel has been active in politics and has been active as Chairman of Jokowi Mania (JoMan).

One of the requests for SOE Minister Erick Thohir to fire Noel was voiced by social media activist Denny Siregar. Denny through his personal Twitter account, Denny asked Erick Thohir to fire Noel.

“Mas Erick Thohir just fired Noel from the position of Commissioner. Why are terrorist defenders being given food," wrote Denny Siregar.

In response to Denny's request, Noel admitted that he was never afraid to be fired from a BUMN. "I have nothing to do with my current position, even without being a commissioner, I can live,"

"If they want to take the commissioner, I just take it, it doesn't affect us, we are activists, we have a national commitment, if you just take a position, there's no problem," said Noel.

Refly added that he and Noel's fate was almost the same because they were considered terrorists when defending Munarman. "(Immanuel's fate, ed) Just like I defended Munarman, he was considered a terrorist. Inshallah later I will become an expert in Munarman's case to show that this is not really a matter of defending or not defending, but how to put things in their place according to the truth," said Refly.

Refly Harun emphasized that there was nothing wrong in defending Munarman because the case now being charged with him seemed fabricated. It's a different matter if the former FPI official is directly involved in the bombing case and so on.

"If what I'm defending is the person who was caught and bombed, it's just inappropriate. Munarman being linked with terrorism activities feels wanted," explained Refly.

Quoting senior economist Rizal Ramli's statement, Refly said that what happened to Munarman was a way of diverting the issue from the main problem.

This issue was deliberately raised by a group of oligarchs who want to continue in power because they are worried that the change in power that will occur threatens their position.

Refly hopes that the struggle carried out by Noel, Immanuel Ebenezer's nickname, will remain consistent, protecting this nation from division. Including when Eben was threatened with dismissal from his position as President Commissioner of PT Mega Elektra (ME), a subsidiary of PT Pupuk Indonesia Holding Company (Persero) (PIHC).
