REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko supported the report filed against Habib Bahar bin Smith over alleged hate speech to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Personally, he condemned Habib Bahar’s lecture.
“Yes we must support, he is an ulema but he speaks like that. I personally condemn it,” said Moeldoko on Thursday (Nov 29).
According to him, as an ulema, Habib Bahar should be a role model through his speech and behaviour. Moeldoko also claimed he did not respect the kind of attitude.
Moeldoko said he has watched video of Habib Bahar’s lecture. In the video, Habib Bahar said Jokowi as as traitor of the country and the people.
“If you meet Jokowi, you can open his pants, maybe he has menstruation because he seems like a sissy,” Habib Bahar said in a video.
As a respond of his lecture, Habib Bahar was reported to National Police by Jokowi Mania Secretary General. In addition, the report also came from chairman of Cyber Indonesia Muannas Aladid to Jakarta Police.
“This is not a good criticism or lecture, if he wants to protest, please but don’t harass like that. It’s inappropriate for a person who called as habib or ulema,” said Muannas Aladid.
