00:00This is a case involving an incident where a masked man attacked a victim

00:09because he said he was not fasting and so on.

00:12For your information, media friends,

00:14the victim's statement has been recorded,

00:18the victim has been sent to the hospital for treatment or medical examination

00:23and the suspect's statement and witnesses have also been recorded.

00:32We believe that we will refer the investigation paper to Mr. Arief

00:39on the eve of Eid al-Adha in the near future, I think before Friday.

00:44And I have also instructed to record the doctor's statement before the investigation paper is referred

00:50for guidance and advice from Mr. Arief on the eve of Eid al-Adha.

00:54How many witnesses have been recorded?

00:55Witnesses have been recorded, his son, and also a few witnesses.

01:02So the investigation will be referred in the near future,

01:05I believe before Friday we will refer it.

01:14Who?

01:1565 local residents.

01:19The victim is also a local resident.

01:27I am not an expert to define that.

01:35I think don't use this to speculate.

01:40This incident is an isolated incident.

01:46It is not something that usually happens in our country.

01:51Because our country, our friends and media are well aware

01:54that we have a high level of tolerance among the people, among the nation.

02:00And we respect each other.

02:02So let's maintain this relationship.

02:05Don't speculate and don't take the law into your own hands.

02:10There are authorities who are responsible for handling this issue.

02:17So as a responsible community,

02:20our job is to disseminate information,

02:23not to take action on our own.
