        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has responded to the\napology conveyed by researcher Rismon Sianipar to Indonesia\u2019s seventh\npresident Joko Widodo concerning his research in the book titled\nJokowi\u2019s White Paper.<\/p>\n<p>In a written statement received by Antara in Jakarta on Thursday\nevening, Gibran stated that Ramadan is an excellent month for mutual\nforgiveness and for rekindling the bonds of brotherhood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRamadan is a very good month for mutual forgiveness and for\nrekindling the bonds of brotherhood,\u201d said Gibran.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Gibran also commended Rismon\u2019s statement and stance,\nhaving provided clarification and his willingness to review statements\npreviously made to the public. This step was deemed to demonstrate\nmaturity in democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Rismon Sianipar visited the residence of Indonesia\u2019s\nseventh president Joko Widodo to apologise concerning his research in\nthe book Jokowi\u2019s White Paper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I have clarified over the past day or two, over the past two\nmonths I have continued my research. If it is called a re-examination,\nre-studying all the methodologies that I wrote independently. So I must\nemphasise, I independently wrote the methodology across approximately\n480 pages out of the more than 700 pages in the Jokowi\u2019s White Paper\nbook,\u201d he said after visiting Jokowi\u2019s residence in Solo, Central Java,\non Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>In that research, he claimed there were several new findings which he\nwas prepared to defend scientifically and academically.<\/p>\n<p>One of his findings concerned the authenticity of Jokowi\u2019s diploma.\nAccording to him, several aspects that became the subject of his\nexamination included the embossing and watermarks on the diploma, as\nwell as the absence of a hologram.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that based on these features, he now believes in a new\nfinding that there are no irregularities regarding the authenticity of\nJokowi\u2019s diploma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also felt hurt by my own findings because I had to honestly state\nthat my findings would be attacked, insulted, and labelled as betrayal,\nbut research is research. What can test research is the research result\nitself, whether by me or others. Well, I conveyed that to the\ninvestigator about a week ago to the investigator and to the Director of\nGeneral Crime,\u201d said the suspect in the defamation case related to\naccusations of a forged diploma involving Jokowi.<\/p>",
