The recent scandal involving a woman known as CAT in the Panitia Pemilihan Luar Negeri (PPLN) Den Haag in the Netherlands has caused quite a stir. CAT, who is not a diplomat or an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Indonesian Embassy in Den Haag, is actually an Indonesian citizen residing in the Netherlands. This revelation was made by Rolliansyah Soemirat, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to Rolliansyah, CAT’s involvement in a scandal with the former Chairman of the KPU, Hasyim Asy’ari, led to a disciplinary hearing. Hasyim was ultimately dismissed from his position as the Chairman of the KPU RI after it was proven that he had engaged in a physical relationship with CAT in the Netherlands.
During the proceedings of the Dewan Kehormatan Penyelenggara Pemilu (DKPP) on July 3, 2024, it was revealed how CAT and Hasyim had met. It was mentioned that during a technical guidance session for PPLN in Bali on July 30, 2023, Hasyim had approached CAT. This initial interaction eventually led to Hasyim’s pursuit of a romantic relationship with CAT.
CAT admitted that Hasyim had persuaded her to engage in a physical relationship at the Van der Valk Hotel in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where Hasyim was staying on October 3, 2023. Hasyim even went as far as promising to marry CAT after their encounter.
The scandal has not only tarnished the reputation of Hasyim but has also raised questions about the integrity of the electoral process in Indonesia. The involvement of individuals like CAT, who are not official representatives of the government, in such sensitive matters has highlighted the need for stricter regulations and oversight in the electoral system.
The case serves as a cautionary tale for those in positions of power and authority, emphasizing the importance of upholding ethical standards and maintaining professionalism at all times. It also underscores the significance of transparency and accountability in the conduct of public officials, especially in matters as crucial as the electoral process.
As the fallout from this scandal continues to unfold, it is essential for the relevant authorities to take swift and decisive action to address any lapses in governance and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Only by upholding the principles of integrity and accountability can the trust and confidence of the Indonesian people in their electoral system be restored.
