The suspect of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has recently been highlighted for often hiding his face with a hat or mask. Conditions are considered to have occurred because the status is embarrassing and should be used to provide a deterrent effect.

"That the stamp as a corruption suspect is something that is embarrassing and actually this effect must be maintained," said the Chairman of the Indonesia Calling (IM) 57+ Institute, Lakso Anindito in a written statement, Saturday, July 12.

Lakso said that the KPK should immediately make internal rules so that the suspect cannot hide his face. The process is also considered not to need to wait for the revision of the Criminal Procedure Code (RKUHAP) to be knocked.

"It is sufficient to regulate the standardization of KPK policies in the process carried out," he said.

A number of KPK detainees are known to often cover their faces. One of them is the former Head of PUPR for North Sumatra Province, Typhoon Obaja Putra Ginting or Typhoon Ginting.

At that time, Typhoon was seen wearing a jacket with a head covering. He also wears a hat and covers his face with a mask when he goes to the KPK office for inspection.

Likewise when he came out, his face did not appear a bit. He chose to hurry and remain silent when asked about his close relationship with the Governor of North Sumatra who is also the son-in-law of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Bobby Nasution.

The name Topan is associated with Bobby Nasution because he was inaugurated as Head of PUPR on February 24, 2025 or after the Gerindra Party politician became governor.

Then he also served as Head of the Public Works Agency or the Department of Water Resources, Highways and Construction Development of Medan City as well as Acting (Plt) Medan City Secretary when Bobby served as Mayor of Medan.
