"Not a Fan of Gibran, Turns Out This is the Real Reason Almas Tsaqibbirru Filed a Lawsuit to the Constitutional Court"

Dream - The name Almas Tsaqibbirru, a 23-year-old student at Surakarta University (UNSA), suddenly became the subject of discussion because he won a lawsuit on the age limit for presidential and vice-presidential candidates, which was decided by the Constitutional Court (MK) on Monday, October 16, 2023.

"Happy Lawsuit Granted"

Almas, who is also the son of MAKI Coordinator Boyamin Saiman, admitted to being extremely happy after part of his lawsuit was granted by the Constitutional Court. "Until I could win, this study of mine was not just a butterfly. I am also happy," he said, as quoted from liputan6.com.

Called Intervention Laden

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "An 8th semester law student does not mind if the lawsuit is referred to as intervention. He also does not bother with the emergence of various opinions regarding the Constitutional Court's decision. "Regardless of what many people say about intervention or whatever, it doesn't matter. This is my reason to test my knowledge. If asked about his feelings, he said, 'I'm just happy.'"

Almas also realizes that his lawsuit opens the opportunity for President Joko Widodo's son (Jokowi), Gibran Rakabuming Raka, to run as vice president in 2024.

"Tidak Kenal Gibran" translates to "Not Familiar with Gibran" in English.

"However, Almas admitted that he does not know the Mayor of Solo personally. The lawsuit also does not have any instructions from Gibran or his team. 'There is no (instruction from Gibran). I don't even know Mas Gibran, never met him. I absolutely don't know him. If you ask Mas Gibran if he knows me, it's impossible for him to know, even though we are both from Solo,' he said. Almas also revealed his reason for filing a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court. He admitted that he wants to test the legal knowledge he learned in college. Moreover, he is currently a final semester student waiting to graduate."

"I am already in my final semester and about to graduate. I want to test the knowledge that I have acquired, let's say like that."
The translation of the text "Kata Almas" from Bahasa to English while preserving any HTML tags is: "Kata Almas".

Apart from that, he also feels concerned about the current development of the Election because there is a potential emergence of young leaders but they are hindered by the age limitation factor regulated in the law. Therefore, he tries to file a lawsuit related to the age limitation.

"\u201cThis is where I see the potential of young people, who can be said to be under 40 years old, many of whom have potential but can't achieve it because there is no way in. So, yeah, that's also my reason.""

"Kemauan Sendiri" translates to "Self-will" in English.

However, when asked about the exact date she filed the lawsuit, Almas claimed not to remember. She also couldn't recall when she withdrew the report and eventually filed the same lawsuit again. "I am not sure about the date, maybe the legal representative knows better. As for the day and date, I am confused," said Almas. Regarding the allegation of influence and advice from Boyamin, her father, in filing the lawsuit, Almas refused to explain. She emphasized that she filed the lawsuit on her own volition.

"Intervention of Father"

"If Mr. Boyamin is involved, it seems irrelevant, sir, when it comes to this matter, it's my own intention," he said. When pressed again about Boyamin's involvement in this lawsuit, Almas just laughed. Nevertheless, Almas claimed that Boyamin did not provide any advice or input regarding his petition to the Constitutional Court. "Hahaha, no (input from Boyamin)," said Almas.
