JAKARTA - Chairman of the Student Executive Board of Malang Raya Zulfikri Nurfadhilla supports the BEM of the University of Indonesia (UI) which gave President Joko Widodo the nickname 'King of Lips Service'.
He judged that all the words that came out of the State Palace at this time only ended in sheer nonsense and became a blow to those who fought against power.
"At the same time, all the sounds that can be heard from the Palace only end up being mere gibberish, which in the end becomes a blow to anyone who fights against power relations," said Zulfikri in his official statement received by VOI, Jakarta, Tuesday, June 29.
Zulfikri assessed that the content created by BEM UI has presented facts and realities that are in line with problems in the community.
He highlighted that so far many civil liberties have been suppressed by the repression of the apparatus to the silencing of freedom of expression.
"Through the rubber articles of the ITE Law, the massive and systematic weakening of the KPK, and the intervention of the President in the rule of law," he said.
Seeing this problem, Zulfikri criticized various repressive actions carried out by the authorities against civilians.
He also urged the government to be able to guarantee the freedom of expression and opinion carried out by citizens as regulated in the applicable regulations.
"Demanding the government to be present again in guaranteeing freedom of expression and opinion as written in Article 28 of the 1945 Constitution & Law No. 9 of 1988," he said.
In addition, Zulfikri urged University of Indonesia bureaucrats to be able to guarantee students' freedom of expression which is guaranteed by the constitution.
"Demanding University of Indonesia bureaucrats to straighten their academic reasoning that freedom of opinion is substantive and corrective to the state," said Zulfikri.
BEM Malang Raya itself is a gathering place for all BEM Universities in Malang, East Java and its surroundings.
