TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Lawyer Razman Arif Nasution was recently sacked by his client Jon Riah Ginting, or better known as Jonru. Razman suspects that Jonru felt uncomfortable by his previous statement.
“He might have felt uncomfortable by my advice to stop posting problematic [social media] posts,” said Razman on Wednesday evening, September 6.
Razman admits that he has no problem with Jonru’s decision to sack him, despite being perplexed by the way Jonru announced it. It turns out that Jonru decided to announce it through his social media account rather than meeting with Razman in person.

“He suddenly posted [the announcement] yesterday. He should have met with me in person first. He didn’t even meet my team, unlike when he first [decided to use our service],” Razman continued.
During his brief stint as an attorney for Jonru, Razman once reminded his former client to be more cautious in posting materials through social media. Jonru was asked to refrain in posting controversial materials.
Jonru was initially reported to the police by lawyer Muannas Al Aidid for allegedly promoting hate speech. He was reported for the second time on the same day by Muhammad Zakir Rasyidin.
