Roy Suryo Regarding Jokowi's Report: The More You Look At His Funnyness

JAKARTA - Former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora), Roy Suryo said he was interested and felt funny about the steps taken by the 7th President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), who decided that the allegations of fake diplomas against him were brought to justice.

Jokowi is known to have reported the allegations to the Polda Metro Jaya. Allegations of criminal acts reported are defamation to ITE.

"It's getting funny, with funny words, so this really shows the funnyness," said Roy Suryo when confirmed Friday, May 2.

The reporting step is said to be an assessment of the public about Jokowi's inability. In fact, Roy Suryo considered that the 7th President's actions were not elegant.

"Once again, criminalizing these women is an attitude that is not elegant or embarrassing," he said.

Not only that, this telematics expert also said that the reporting step seemed only to avoid checking the authenticity of diplomas with advanced technology, so that this greatly defames the independence of researchers and science.

This is because science should be appreciated, not criminalized by being reported to the police or brought to the realm of law.

"The scientific opinion cannot be denied by being equal but instead being fought by different legal views," said Roy Suryo.

Previously reported, Jokowi explained the reason for reporting false diploma accusations to the police. Just so that the problem becomes clear and clear.

"Yes, this is actually a minor matter, yes, it is a matter of alleged fake diplomas. But it does need to be brought to the realm of law so that everything is clear and clear," said Jokowi.

According to him, the new legal steps were taken as a solution to allegations of fake diplomas because the issue continued to grow and became increasingly massive.

It is known that this issue was heard when Jokowi was still President.

"Yes, I was still in office, I thought it was over. It turned out that it was still protracted, so that it was brought to the legal realm, it would be better so that once again it would become clear and clear," he said.

In this report, the articles used regarding allegations of defamation to the ITE Law.

Allegations of defamation are known to be regulated in Articles 310 and 311 of the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, Article 27A, Article 32, and Article 35 of the ITE Law which are also used in the report regulates changing, transmitting, or manipulating other people's electronic documents.
