Paiman Rahardjo Sues Roy Suryo and Associates Over ⁣Defamation Allegations

Former Deputy Minister Paiman Rahardjo has initiated legal​ action against Roy Suryo and six other individuals, citing defamation. The accusations, according to Paiman’s legal representative, Farhat, do not pertain to the‌ controversial 7th ⁢Indonesian Presidential Diploma but rather target Paiman’s personal⁤ reputation.

Allegations Target Paiman’s Credibility

“The insult is not concerned with his diploma,⁣ Mr. Jokowi, but rather‌ he (Paiman) is called a fake professor, a fake professor,” stated Farhat​ at the Central⁢ Jakarta District Court on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. “When it comes to Mr. Jokowi, it is even referred to as a typist and diploma maker at Pramuka Market.”

Paiman, who also holds the distinction of being a former Rector of Prof. Dr. Moestopo⁢ (religious), revealed that he had a direct conversation with President Joko widodo regarding the matter. during their ​meeting, both parties agreed that pursuing legal channels was the most prudent course of action to ⁢prevent further escalation of the situation.

Legal‍ Action as a Means ​to De-escalate Tensions

“When meeting with Mr. Jokowi,⁢ he said that this issue must be resolved legally,” Paiman explained.”We ⁤are good workers, so we prefer to take legal action. We⁣ are‍ worried ‌that Jokowi’s volunteers, who will take almost 3 million, will take to ‌the streets.”

Paiman⁢ believes that ‍by formally⁤ reporting the alleged defamation, the‍ public atmosphere will consequently become calmer. This legal recourse is seen as a measured approach to address the accusations and maintain public​ order.
