JAKARTA - The Chief Justice of the Constitution, Suhartoyo, asked Lesti Kejora and Sammy Simorangkir to sing their song when the judicial review of the Copyright Law was held at the Constitutional Court on Tuesday, July 22.
Meanwhile, Lesti and Sammy were present as witnesses who were proposed by 28 singers who were members of the Indonesian Voice Vibration (VISION) as applicants for the judicial review of the Copyright Law.
Lesti testified in connection with her case with songwriter Yoni Dores, while Sammy testified about his problems with his former bandmate in Kerispatih, Badai.
"If Lesti doesn't have a song that was created by herself, huh?" asked Judge Suhartoyo, after Lesti testified.
"Punya pak," replied Lesti.
"What kind of song is the trial, let us hear it," Suhartoyo asked. If other songs are not sung, because they are disputed, right, but if they are created by themselves they are allowed. Just try one verse.
Lesti also sang her song 'Angin'. There was applause from several people present in the courtroom, but the judge asked no one to applaud.
After Lesti, Judge Suhartoyo turned to Sammy. He asked the 42-year-old singer to perform his song while still being the vocalist of Kerispatih.

"If it's Sammy, what he created himself when he was in Kerispatih? There's a good song, but Sammy himself," asked Suhartoyo.
"Incidentally, in Kerispatih I created several songs but with the guitarist. But indeed at that time our decision was chosen so that there was no potential to argue with each other, we chose the song that was chaired to the band, Badai's brother," Sammy replied.
"Yes, now it's sung first, which is the song. The neutral one," the judge asked Sammy to sing immediately.
"I forgot the song again, because it's been a long time, Your Majesty," said Sammy, who then laughed.
"How will the public, if the one singing just forgets," said judge Suhartoyo again.
"I can practice first, Your Majesty, if there is a request," replied Sammy again.
Finally Sammy granted the judge's request. He sang the chorus part of the song 'If Rasaku Is Rasmu'. Don't want to be half-hearted, he sings with appreciation like appearing on the music stage.
"Good, enough," Suhartoyo said, after Sammy finished the chorus of the song. 'That's Your Honor Prof. Arief, his favorite song.'
Furthermore, the trial also turned by hearing information from experts submitted by 28 VISI member singers.
