JAKARTA - Saipul Jamil has been released from prison after serving a prison sentence for an obscene case. Saipul Jamil has also appeared on the Trans7 program.

What is the KPI response?

"I don't know exactly what the program packaging looks like. But again, if the packaging and program content contain content that has the potential to violate P3SPS, I think it's not only Saipul Jamil. All artists can be hit when doing or showing content that has the potential to violate," KPI commissioner Nuning Rodiyah told VOI, Friday, September 3.

Saipul Jamil is free after being jailed for eight years for sexual abuse. Saipul Jamil left the door of Cipinang Prison, East Jakarta with the welcome of his family, friends, and the mass media who glorified Saipul and his moment of freedom. Controversy arose.

Is the perspective of the mass media correct in packaging Saipul's coverage, so that he looks like a hero, even a victim?

From the coverage that was broadcast on television as well as YouTube and social media accounts of a number of mass media - especially infotainment, it seems that Saipul was greeted with interest. The bucket that he held and the one that hung on him. Saipul also smiled and waved a lot.

In one scene, the mass media intercepted Saipul, interviewed him, while as usual, asked Ipul to sing. A voice suddenly emerged from the mass media crowd, asking Saipul. "Bang Ipul is traumatized or not?"

Saipul replied, “Yes, definitely traumatized. So friends, be careful. Be wise and always be alert. We don't know where the enemy is. It can be considered a good friend but it turns out he is our enemy. But that's okay. The important thing is that we are sincere." said Saipul Jamil. Ipul's statement is in the spotlight. He is considered a playing victim and tries to lead opinions to certain conclusions.

Saipul's brother, Samsul Hidayatullah, denies this assumption. "Nothing. It depends on what people say. Each one's perception, mas, is that right," said Samsul when contacted by VOI, Friday, September 3.

"If the show gives Saipul Jamil space to justify the behavior that was carried out so many years ago, it's normal and natural, of course that's the part that has the potential to violate," said Nuning.

"But if you present Saipul Jamil as a fact, that he got out of prison, it doesn't matter... The problem when the content is 'I'm okay with it. It's not a wrong thing when I sexually harassed.' That is absolutely prohibited," said Nuning, stressing that the potential for violations did not disappear even though Saipul's false narratives were implied.
