JAKARTA - The Supreme Court (MA) rejected the appeal filed by former member of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) Sitti Hikmawatty regarding her statement that "swimming in a pool can make you pregnant".
"Reject the cassation," reads the verdict, quoted from the official website of the Supreme Court in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Wednesday, February 16.
As is known, President Joko Widodo dishonorably dismissed Sitti Hikmawatty from her position as a member of the KPAI for the 2017-2022 period.
The dismissal was proposed by the KPAI Ethics Council through the Council's Plenary Meeting on March 17, 2020.
The KPAI Ethics Council suggested that Sitti should resign or the KPAI would recommend to the President to dismiss him dishonorably.
In the appeal filed by Sitti Hikmawatty to the Supreme Court, President Joko Widodo is the respondent in the case.
The case is registered under Number 3 K/TUN/2022, with the court filing it to the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN).
Sitti's appeal was decided by three judges, namely Yosran, Is Sudaryono and Irfan Fachruddin, with Substitute Registrar Maftuh Effendi.
