The Verification Team in the case of the death of David
Widjaja, an Indonesian undergraduate who
died in Nanyang Technology University (NTU) of
Singapore has established that David had been killed,
rather than committed suicide.
The leader of the Verification Team, Iwan Piliang,
announced this at the press conference held at
Restoran Munik, Jl Matraman Raya, Jakarta Timur, on
Monday (13 April 2009). David’s father, Hartono Widjaja, and
his wife was present, along with his brother William
Hartono.
According to Iwan, the team has done a reconstruction of
the events surrounding David’s death. From the
reconstruction, the team is confident that David’s
death was not due to suicide as alleged by
NTU. The autopsy that David’s
family received indicated 36 gaping wounds,
of which 14 were from stab
wounds.
“In general, the injury is at the hands. The rest were
bruises, including the neck region and internally,”
Iwan explained.
The team, along with the family and correspondent, have
also visited Singapore. The team had wanted to meet
with the NTU officials, but were not entertained. A
similar request to meet Professor Chan Kap
Luck, who was reported to have been wounded by David before
he died, was also declined.
Meanwhile, the leader of Komnas Anak, Seto Mulyadi, and
Bung Tomo of Bambang Sulistomo also voiced their
support for a thorough investigation to provide
satisfactory closure to this case. According
to Seto Mulyadi, David was an Indonesian asset whose efforts
in winning the Mathematics Olympiad should be
appreciated by the government.
“The Education and National Ministers should have given
the family legal help, including financing for a
lawyer. But nobody has bothered so far; POLRI
(Indonesian Police), Depdiknas (Education Ministry)
and
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono should be actively
involved and aiding the family, since it concerns the
sovereignty of the country,” he
added.
NTU has become corrupted and dangerous. Wooo.
