BEM FPsi UNJ Disavows 'BEM Bersatu' Member, Reveals Figure Is an Alumnus Who Graduated in 2024

The Student Executive Board of the Psychology Faculty at Jakarta State University (BEM FPsi UNJ) has confirmed it has no affiliation with a group calling itself BEM Bersatu. In a statement posted on its official Instagram account, the student organisation declared it never granted a mandate or approval to any party to use the BEM FPsi UNJ name in any activity. ‘In connection with the circulation of information regarding the misappropriation of the name “BEM FPsi UNJ” in activities related to a certain movement, we wish to convey several points as a form of public clarification,’ BEM FPsi UNJ wrote on Wednesday, 17 June 2026. ‘BEM FPsi UNJ has never given consent to the said party to represent and use the name BEM FPsi UNJ.’ The clarification emerged after the BEM FPsi UNJ name was listed as part of the BEM Bersatu group, which had previously held a press conference in the Utan Kayu Community area, Jakarta, on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. BEM FPsi UNJ acknowledged that an alumnus of the UNJ Psychology Faculty named Ahmad Ghazy attended the event. However, the organisation stressed that the individual is neither an active student nor a member of the current BEM FPsi UNJ board. It was stated that Ahmad Ghazy is an alumnus from the 2020 cohort who completed his studies in 2024. ‘The individual involved in the activity is an alumnus of FPsi UNJ from the 2020 cohort and is not part of the active membership/board of BEM FPsi UNJ 2026, therefore the actions and views expressed are the personal responsibility of the said party,’ BEM FPsi UNJ wrote. In response to the matter, BEM FPsi UNJ expressed its objection and deemed the action an ethical violation. ‘We deeply regret this ethical violation and, for this action, the individual concerned is requested to convey an apology to BEM FPsi UNJ for the discomfort and impact caused,’ the statement continued. Previously, BEM Bersatu, through its spokesperson Rahmat Djimbula, affirmed its rejection of student movements it claimed were being exploited for practical political interests. ‘We, BEM Bersatu, reject all forms of hijacking of the student movement by practical political interests. The student movement must remain the voice of the people, not a tool for elites in power struggles,’ he said.
