Indonesian Minister of Religious Affairs, Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, has expressed strong concern over witness testimony in an ongoing trial, stating that the statements were based on "assumptions." The minister questioned the credibility of the testimony, noting that it also pertains to his own position and fate. This statement highlights the importance of the accuracy of testimony in judicial proceedings and its impact on an individual's career and standing.
