JAKARTA - Academician and philosopher Rocky Gerung confirmed that his presence at the Polda Metro Jaya, Tuesday, January 27, 2026 morning, was not to relieve or burden the suspects Roy Suryo, Rismon Sianipar and Doctor Tiffa in the case of alleged hate speech and defamation related to the issue of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo's diploma.
Rocky said he was only there to explain the aspects of thinking and scientific research methodology, especially about the function of "suspecting" in the process of knowledge.
"There is no matter of burdening or lightening. I want to explain the function of the method in investigating and suspecting. Suspecting is the most important part of knowledge," Rocky told reporters at the Polda Metro Jaya.
According to Rocky, the focus of the examination entirely depends on the questions of the investigators. He is reluctant to direct certain materials so as not to affect the investigation process.
Rocky also assessed that not all differences of opinion and research must lead to criminal charges. He alluded to the possibility of a settlement through a restorative justice approach if no criminal elements are found.
"If there is no criminal element, then do restorative justice," he said.
He added that in every legal issue there is always a methodology, but scientific debate is basically open and natural.
"All the research takes time and it's impossible to end. Dr. Tifa's research, Rismon's research, Roy's research. All of that is possible by procedure. Well, if the procedure is not finished, do the research," he concluded.
Polda Metro Jaya previously scheduled the examination of academic Ricky Gerung as an expert witness to relieve Roy Suryo Cs in the case of alleged fake diplomas of former President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Pol Budi Hermanto said that the examination was planned to take place today at the Ditrsekrimum building of the Metro Jaya Police, South Jakarta, Tuesday, January 27, 2026 morning.
"Yes, investigators have sent a summons letter," he said.
In addition to Rocky, the police also examined other expert witnesses, namely Prof. Didit Wijayanto and Prof. Hamidah.
