Ahok Cancels Reporting Lawyer Brigadier J: Waste Of Time

JAKARTA - Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok has canceled reporting to Brigadier J's attorney, Kamaruddin Simanjuntak regarding the alleged defamation, citing a waste of time.

"That Mr. BTP (Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, ed) did not make a police report because Mr. BTP considered it a waste of my time," said Ahok's lawyer, Amhad Ramzy, when confirmed, Tuesday, August 2.

Although the client's intention to make a report has been canceled, said Ramzy, until now Kamaruddin has not submitted an apology. Either directly or indirectly.

"There hasn't been (an apology, red)," said Ramzy.

It is known that Ahok intends to report Kamaruddin as Brigadier J's attorney. This is because Kamaruddin recently made a statement relating to Ahok's wife, Puput Nastiti Devi.

Kamaruddin's statement was also considered by Ahok's lawyer to have defamed his client.

"That the actions of Kamararuddin Simanjuntak's colleague linking his case with Mr. BTP and Mrs. Puput are very dangerous and defame Mr. BTP," said Ramzy.
