JAKARTA - The Army Chief of Staff (KSAD) General Dudung Abdurachman admitted that he did not really think about the reports of a group of people against him to the Indonesian Army Military Police Center (Puspomad). According to Dudung, there are many strategic tasks that must be done as KSAD. For example, assisting government programs and the welfare of soldiers.
"I don't really care about things like that. There are still many strategic jobs. For me, that was first," Dudung told reporters at the TNI AD Headquarters, Antara, Jakarta, Monday, February 7.
Dudung invites the public to report him, especially regarding his remarks that aired on Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube channel. "Please just report it, no problem," said Dudung.
He has also ordered the Puspomad commander to check the whistleblowers. “I conveyed the Puspomad commander, please, report it in writing. I said yesterday, please come. Check who the coalition is. Those people are anyone," he said.
Dudung also instructed the Puspomad commander to take photos of the reporters' faces when they came to the unit for inspection. According to him, the purpose of taking photos is only to find out the identity of the complainants.
Previously, the Coalition of Ulama, Habaib and Lawyers Against Blasphemy of Religion (KUHAP APA) in January 2022 reported his remarks in a broadcast on Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube channel which was uploaded two months ago. What the Coalition considers problematic is his speech regarding God.
He made the statement "Our God is not an Arab" when interviewed by Deddy Corbuzier.
"I use Indonesian when I pray. Our God is not an Arab. I (pray) use Indonesian, O God... O Allah, I want to help people, I just want to help that person, that's all," said Abdurachman in impressions uploaded on Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube channel.
Regarding this statement, the Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, Andika Perkasa, ensured that they would process the report as regulated in the provisions and regulations of the law.
He stated that the TNI had also scheduled the examination of the reporters and several witnesses and experts.
