JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Agustiar Sabran, admitted that he would oversee requests from a number of elements of the Dayak community who asked Edy Mulyadi to be processed under customary law. According to him, customary law must also be enforced even though Edy Mulyadi has apologized and is being prosecuted.
"Why is customary law enforced? Because Kalimantan is famous for its traditional culture, it is very famous for its traditional culture. If the law is positive, we will guard it, later it will go to the Criminal Investigation Department. We will monitor customary law later because customary and positive law are different. It is important to remember that before there is a positive law, there is customary law so that it can deter others," said Agustiar Sabran, who is also the chairman of the Dayak Customary Council, at the DPR, Thursday, January 27.
Previously, the Dayak Customary Council (DAD) asked the National Dayak customary assembly to impose customary punishment on social media activist Edy Mulyadi for his statement which was deemed to have insulted the people of Kalimantan.
In addition to imposing customary law, DAD together with a number of community organizations (ormas) and youth organizations (OKP) also reported the former PKS cadre to the West Kalimantan (Kalbar) Police, Tuesday, January 25.
