I've always been a petition-signer. I always believe in freedom of expression and absolute democracy.

I regard freedom of expression as the primary right without which one can not have a proper functioning democracy,

Indonesia is also a democracy that upholds freedom of expression, but such freedom cannot be used as a pretext to insult a religion.

I certainly was one of the instigators in the 1960s of freedom of expression.

There are too many individuals who take advantage of the freedom of expression to make many wild and slanderous allegations and we should not allow this to continue when what they said is not true,

What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist
