President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono asked the mass media on Monday to be more prudent in selecting their sources of news following the circulation of a text message claiming his involvement in a number of scandals.
“Imagine an unclear source being made the truth without any constraints and it is read by the Indonesian public. What will our people get?” he said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
The text message claimed it was sent by Nazaruddin, the Democratic Party’s former treasurer, who is currently in the spotlight for his suspected involvement in a bribery case.
The SMS said Nazaruddin had been “set up” in the case and that he would take revenge by uncovering a number of scandals such as election data manipulation and information related to the Bank Century case.
Several media outlets published news of the text message.
Yudhoyono said the law allows the media to move against the government. “That is freedom of speech, freedom of the press,” but the media should be responsible for news discrediting the government, he said.
“That is the nature of Indonesia as a nation of law and a nation of justice,” he said.
