Claiming To Defend The People, Said Didu Was Even Surprised To Be Reported To The Police About Hate Speech

TANGERANG - Former Secretary of BUMN 2005-2010, Said Didu was surprised by the government officials who reported it to the Tangerang Police for accusing the spread of hoax news related to the National Strategic Project (PSN) Pantai Indah Kapuk 2 (PIK 2). Said Didu admitted what he did to defend the people. But he wondered why it was considered hate speech.

Said Didu admitted that he did not know the reporting figure at all. Moreover, he also has no interest in getting a number of materials.

"I don't know, I don't know at all. I never mentioned at all. If we talk about something and someone is offended, who knows if he did," Said Didu said at the Tangerang Police, Tuesday, November 19.

"Logika itu. Karena saya tidak menyebutkan siapa-apa, saya hanya menyatakan. Bahwa ini ada aparat seharusnya memelihat ke rakyat, kenapa ada yang tersindik," sambungnya.

Said Didu also mentioned the reports made against him. Because, if it is reported that it is related to habican speech while defending the people, for him there are irregularities.

"When I say 'People want to be defended', this is a time of hatred. This people is evicted' even though they don't displace. This is a hate speech. If it is considered hatred, then everyone will be silent. Later, some of your relatives will be killed, no one wants to report, because they are considered hatred. Want a country like that?," he said.

Previously, the Head of the All-Indonesian Village Government Association (APDESI) of Tangerang Regency, Maskota clarified that he and other parties reported Said Didu to the police on the basis of the unrest of the people of Tangerang Regency.

"Our basis (Village Heads, Institutions, Ormas and community leaders) reported Said Didu, namely, the first is that the village head is accused of forcing residents to sell land to developers, the second (is accused) of arbitrarily displacing residents in an inhuman way," Maskota explained to the media, Monday, November 18, 2024.
