Refl: Istimewa kelihaian koruptor yang membagi sebahagian hasil panen korupsi 
untuk dipakai guna membangun rumah ibadah. Agaknya dalam pikiran sang koruptor 
ini ialah semoga dengan sumbangannya membuat Allah untuk mencatat kebaikan 
hatinya dan dengan begitu tidak akan menolaknya untuk masuk ke surga di 
kemudian hari. Rupanya pandangan demikian ini tertanam dalam pikiran para 
petinggi NKRI bahwa bila sebahagian dari hasil panen korupsi disumbangkan 
kepada kepentingan illahi maka mereka tidak berdosa dan oleh sebab itu kita 
saksikan bahwa korupsi berjalan terus tanpa meminta permisi untuk istirahat 
abadi..

Politician Defends Corrupt Actions, Wanted to Build Mosque

A former lawmaker involved in two different corruption cases said on Thursday 
that he did not deserve to be punished because his actions had a noble mission: 
building a mosque.

“Do I, as [a former] lawmaker who intended to help the construction of a 
mosque, deserve to be jailed?” Sofyan Usman, a former lawmaker from the United 
Development Party, asked during his trial at the Anti-Corruption Court on 
Thursday.

Sofyan allegedly received a bribe worth Rp 850 million ($93,500) in check form 
and Rp 150 million in cash for approving the amount requested by the Batam 
authority for its regional budget in 2004 and 2005. Sofyan was a member of the 
House Budget Committee during those years.

“I did not use the money for my personal interest or for others,” he said. 
“Whoever was in [my] position as a committee chairman will try to find money 
from several sources to build a mosque.”

This is not the first time Sofyan used the reason of building a mosque in his 
defense. In June, a judge sentenced him to serve a year and three months and 
fined him Rp 50 million for receiving a bribe in the scandal to choose the 
deputy senior governor of Bank Indonesia in 2004.

He told the court that he thought the Rp 250 million check he had received was 
a donation to build the mosque.

“I was the head of the construction committee for the mosque and I worked hard 
to collect donations,” Sofyan said during the trial in June.

The mosque is located in the House members' complex in Cakung, East Java.

In the Batam case, Sofyan was charged with an article in the Anti-Corruption 
Law that carries a maximum sanction of five years imprisonment and a Rp 250 
million fine. 

The prosecutor asked for a punishment of one year and 11 months in the Batam 
case.
