REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Two fact witnesses was presented in the nineth session of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama's (Ahok) case at the Auditorium of Ministry of Agriculture, South Jakarta, on Tuesday. One of the Pramuka Island residents who was being the witness, Sahbudin, claimed to be disappointed by the presence of the Jakarta Governor at the scene.  

He argued that Ahok should only talk about fisheries and the prosperity of the people in Seribu Island during his official visit as governor. However, the speech ended on talking about 'lies using surah Al Maidah verse 51'. 

"I was disappointed with Mr. Ahok because it was not appropriate to talk about lies using Al Maidah during a visit," said him. 

Previously, the judges asked about the presence of the witness in Pramuka Island. The witness confirmed his presence and the material presented during the visit. However he said not to take attention on his speech. 

Sahbudin said he watched the video record by Zaenudin's cellphone.  Zaenudin was the first witness in the trial. "I was shown the video once again in Muara Angke," he said. 

From there, Sahbudin was aware of the statement of Ahok on the Quranic verse. The witness were also said he was sure there was something wrong with Ahok's speech after listening to a speech delivered by Abdullah Gymnastiar or Aa Gym. Therefore, he felt disappointed and wondered why Ahok said it.
