InDRAMAYU - Head of Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School Panji Gumilang said Al Zaytun is the same as kibbutz (a collective settlement place with a joint ownership system in Israel).

"And what we made (Al Zaytun) was like in Israel, his name was Kibbutz," said Panji Gumilang when met on Al Zaytun's rice fields in Indramayu as reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 28.

Panji mengatakan, Al Zaytun adalah pesantren spirit yang modern dengan sistemnya, disimsilkan dengan kibbutz di Israel, yang mampu hidup secara bersidari atas kemampuan penghuninya.

He explained that modernism is evidenced by a modern economic system that has been massively built in the Al Zaytun area.

According to him, the economy must continue to rotate, it is appropriate for clothes that have lots of bags, if they are full, they must be transferred to other things.

"Keep turning, it's called a conglomerate. It has to be conglomerated economically," he said.

In addition, he said, modernity is also proven in Al Zaytun with all systems that adapt to their needs.

"I want to eat, there must be food. I want food, I have to plant, I have to know the science," he said.

This is in line with the statement by YPI Boarding Member Abdul Halim who stated that until now Al Zaytun has 500 hectares of productive agricultural land, with 800 tons of rice stock, which can last for the next two years.

Bareskrim Polri doubts the doctor's letter attached by the Panji Gumilang legal team regarding the health condition of the head of the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School.

The doctor's letter was submitted to investigators as evidence that Panji Gumilang was sick and could not fulfill the summons for examination on Thursday, July 27, yesterday.

"However, it's just a doctor's letter that we think formally cannot be proven," said the Director of General Crimes at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency Brigadier General Djuhandani Rahardjo Puro to reporters, Friday, July 28.

Investigators then decided to reschedule the examination of Panji Gumilang in the alleged blasphemy case on Tuesday, August 1.

It is hoped that the leadership of the Al Zayun Islamic Boarding School can fulfill and provide information regarding allegations of blasphemy.

"We call as witnesses to explain what was the act or what was alleged by the reporter," said Djuhandani.

Panji Gumilang did not attend the examination as a witness in the alleged blasphemy case at Bareskrim Polri on July 27. The reason is because he is tired of the various activities he is undergoing.
