Din Syamsuddin (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Chairman of the State Civil Apparatus Commission (KASN) Agus Pramusinto said that until now his party had not received any evidence regarding the report submitted by the ITB Alumni Anti Radicalism Movement (GAR-ITB) against the former Chairman of PP Muhammadiyah Din Syamsuddin.

This was conveyed in response to the GAR-ITB report which assessed that Din Syamsuddin had violated the code of ethics regarding the issue of radicalism.

"There is no evidence whatsoever regarding the report on the alleged violation," said Agus in a written statement to reporters, Monday, February 15.

In addition, he also denied giving any recommendations in the report. KASN, he said, only continued the GAR-ITB report as a form of regular community service that we did.

This report, continued Agus, was forwarded to the Radicalism Task Force and the Ministry of Religion because there were reports of alleged radicalism from these groups. "But there is no statement whatsoever from KASN regarding the violation of radicalism," he said.

Previously reported, Alumni of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) who are members of the Anti Radicalism Movement (GAR) reported Din Syamsuddin. Through a letter dated October 28, 2020, thousands of these alumni reported Din who was registered as an ASN with a lectureship at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta.

In the report, Din was suspected of violating the code of ethics as an ASN regarding a number of statements and actions from 2019 to 2020. There were a number of actions that allegedly corroborated this allegation.

First, Din was seen as being confrontational with state institutions and against his decisions. This event was recorded by GAR ITB on 29 June 2019.

Second, Din is considered to have discredited the government, stimulating resistance to the government at risk of the nation's disintegration process.

Third, he was said to be framing misleading to the understanding of the general public and trying to injure the credibility of the legitimate government.

Fourth, Din's position as ASN who became the leader of a group that was opposed to the government. This happened when he became the declarator of the Coalition for Action to Save Indonesia (WE) on August 18, 2020.

Fifth, Din is considered to have spread lies, slander, and agitated the public to move against the legitimate government. Finally, Din was accused of trying to exploit religious sentiment.

GAR-ITB then hopes that this report will get serious attention from KASN and give firm action against Din as ASN.
