        "summary": "YouTuber Michael Sinaga claims to have found discrepancies between copies of former President Joko Widodo's undergraduate diploma obtained from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) and the General Elections Commission (KPU). According to Sinaga, the differences lie in the positioning and imprint of the legalisation stamps. PDIP politician Guntur Romli confirmed the party provided Sinaga with copies of Jokowi's educational documents in accordance with public information disclosure laws.",
        "content": "<p>The polemic surrounding the undergraduate diploma belonging to\nIndonesia\u2019s 7th President, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), has resurfaced.\nYouTuber Michael Sinaga now claims to have conducted a comparison and\ndiscovered differences in Jokowi\u2019s diploma, which he obtained from two\nseparate sources: the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) and\nthe General Elections Commission (KPU), via public policy expert Bonatua\nSilalahi. \u201cThe placement of the legalisation differs; the legalisation\nstamp is different. They are both in the upper right corner, but if we\nplace them side-by-side or superimpose them and hold them up to the\nlight, it becomes apparent they are slightly different,\u201d said Michael,\nas quoted on Monday (8\/6). Michael stated that he submitted an\ninformation request to PDIP last week to obtain Jokowi\u2019s diploma. He\nexplained that the documents were required for investigative reporting\npurposes. As a former legislative candidate, Michael noted that during\nthe nomination process, all candidate documents are typically submitted\nfirst to the political party before being forwarded to the KPU. \u201cSo,\nfrom my personal experience, any candidate\u2014whether for the DPR, mayor,\ngovernor, or president\u2014should provide one set of documents to the party.\nThe party then submits them to the KPU,\u201d he said. Meanwhile, PDIP\npolitician Guntur Romli stated that his party provided a number of\ndocuments, including copies of the high school diploma, undergraduate\ndiploma, and other files. \u201cWe opened all the files, the high school\ndiploma, the S1 diploma, and other documents that could be disclosed\nunder the Public Information Disclosure Act,\u201d said Guntur when contacted\non Monday (8\/6).<\/p>",
