        "summary": "Former Vice President Jusuf Kalla has advised President Joko Widodo to publicly display his diploma to resolve the ongoing two-year controversy over its authenticity, speaking as an elder without any political motives. Kalla expressed concern over the public infighting caused by the unresolved issue and emphasised his neutral stance, having declined meetings with those questioning the document's validity, such as Rismon Hasiholan Sianipar and Roy Suryo. This intervention highlights persistent scrutiny on Widodo's educational credentials amid Indonesia's political discourse.",
        "content": "<p>Former Vice President of Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla, has offered advice\nto President Joko Widodo regarding his diploma, in the context of being\nan older or senior figure. There is no pretence or political interest\ninvolved. \u201cI am older than him. So, as a more senior person, I advise\nhim,\u201d said JK, his familiar nickname, during a press conference in\nJakarta on Saturday. Furthermore, JK claimed it was necessary to advise\nbecause he views that the public has been fighting for two years over\nthe authenticity of Jokowi\u2019s diploma. \u201cWhy not show it? Letting the\npublic fight among themselves, insulting each other, for two years,\u201d he\nsaid. JK emphasised that he is in a neutral position in the controversy\nover Jokowi\u2019s diploma, so he once refused to meet with parties\nquestioning the authenticity of the document, such as Rismon Hasiholan\nSianipar and Roy Suryo.<\/p>",
