The mayor has insisted on his decision regardless of a Supreme Court ruling that the church building permit revocation was against the law. Residents from Curug Mekar village in the West Bogor subdistrict made speeches and raised banners in front of the church bearing words of support for the mayor. “We gather here to show people that we care about the law because GKI Yasmin was manipulating data in forming the building permit. It is not because we are anti-church,” said Muhyiddin Junaidi, head of cooperation and international relations of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) KH, on Friday as quoted by kompas.com. He said the church could be built as long as all legal requirements were adhered to. Related News >> a.. Ombudsman demands church ban revoked b.. GKI Yasmin faces threat of arson c..

Bakor Pakem is an institution assigned to oversee the groups and sects currently spreading within Indonesian society.
