The arrival of the Secretary General of the Central PWI, who was accompanied by his attorney, aims to report allegations of defamation and slanderous acts.

In his explanation, Sayid Iskandarsyah revealed that he came to the Polda Metro Jaya Integrated Police Service Center (SKPT) to seek justice related to the issue of the UKW Gate that had surfaced.

"Since the issue of the SOE Gate UKW emerged, there have been several people who have consciously carried out personal attacks and slander against me," Sayid said in his statement, Wednesday, June 12.

Sayid added that personal attacks and slander without evidence clearly disturbed his life. "In addition to defamation, there is slander that I received," he explained.

In the same place, HM Untung Kurniadi, SH., MH., Attorney Sayid Iskandarsyah, explained that his presence at Polda Metro Jaya was to accompany the Secretary General of the Central PWI in making police reports related to allegations of defamation, the spread of false information, and acts of slander.
