They were responding to the police's move to name commission chairman and deputy chairman Suparman Marzuki and Taufiqurrohman suspects in a defamation case in connection with their statements on Jakarta District Court judge Sarpin Rizaldi's decision in favor of Com. Gen. Budi Gunawan in February. JP/Wendra Ajistyatama
Your comments on the move made by the police to name two Judicial Commission (KY) leaders as suspects in a defamation case in connection with South Jakarta District Court judge Sarpin Rizaldi's decision in favor of the pretrial motion of now deputy police chief Com. Gen. Budi Gunawan:
The world looks on and sees Indonesia prosecuting and persecuting anyone who dares to speak out against judicial and police corruption. It is a world where those with morals are punished.
Lasem Benny
The world laughs and rejoices because the world is full of evil and immoral hearts that succeed in carrying out their wicked missions against the righteous, moral hearts, but they must perish for sure when it is time and they will be judged for whatever they have done.
H Saut
Laws in this country tend to serve the interests of the criminal-minded government officials and police.
Since it is the judicial system that is to uphold the law, it is obvious that the police do not and most members of the judicial system do not, either. Even if President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo did comment on this case, no one listens or follows his directives.
Willo
There is no case of criminalization by the police against the two commissioners of the Judicial Commission.
The police are just handling a case of defamation reported by Sarpin Rizaldi. Although the two accused leaders have stated in public their innocence, they simply have to prove in court that Sarpin's accusation is wrong and unfounded. The President has nothing to do in this case.

Criminalization, which is nothing but blaming by accusing each other, is expected to happen this time when the good and conscientious leaders try to save the nation.
Those leaders who have had bad records, such as for handing over bribes during their entrance examinations, simply cannot keep still to see new good officials who are shining brightly for appointments of key positions at the Corruption Eradication Commission KPK.
Here is where the conscientious public will place their choice.

Cipali toll road
The opening of the 116.75-kilometer Cikopo-Palimanan (Cipali) toll road has helped ease the flow of the seasonal exodus for people living in the western part of Java to cities and towns in Central and East Java, but dozens have become victims of traffic accidents since its operation.
