REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Ahead of Jakarta gubernatorial election, Sylviana Murni strangled with alleged corruption on the construction of Al Fauz mosque case. She was interviewed as witness by Criminal Units of National Police on Monday (January 30). During the construction, she served as the mayor of Central Jakarta on the period of 2010-2011. 

Governor candidate of Jakarta gubernatorial election, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, saw the case as a politics instead of crime. "We can see it from acceleration on the law process against Sylvi, while other candidate's law process seemed to be slowed," he commented.

According to Agus, abuse of power would not be the good education for the people. When there were parties tried to use power to find faults of others, it will harm democracy in Indonesia. 

Previously, Deputy Chairman of the Democratic Party Agus Herman said there was something fishy in the investigation of Sylvi who is running as deputy candidate in Jakarta gubernatorial election.
