That's why I was surprised when I read on the blog of ReBorn yesterday about the Lawsuit filed by David Tobing, a lawyer, against the used of the Garuda Symbol on the T-Shirts of the our national team.
In an interview with TVOne last night, David Tobing said that afternoon he has filed the Lawsuit with the District Court of Central Jakarta against the President, the Education Minister, the Sports and Youth Minister, the All Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) and PT Nike Indonesia.
He alleged that the use of the Garuda symbol on the T-Shirts is against the Law No 24/2009 Article 57 regarding the use of State Symbols.
This allegation was denied by the other guest at the talk show i.e. Historian Asvi Warman Adam who said that Article 52 of said Law allow the use of a State Symbol among others for those who are representing the country. He also said that our national football team has also used the Garuda symbol when they played against the Soviet Union at the Melbourne Olympic Games in 1956.
These statement was supported by lawyer Amir Syamsuddin who also urged David Tobing not to take advantage of the national team's present popularity.
Considering that our national team has been doing their best to represent our country in the AFF-Suzuki Cup, and we expect that they will win the tournament, I hope that David Tobing would be wise and withdraw the lawsuit, especially that now that the public has know about him and his protest. And if he persists, I hope that the judges would refuse his lawsuit.

@Bear Wife,
The law allow representatives of
the country to use it.
The man selfishly wants to get public attention.
@ReBorn,
Yes that what many people also said.
@Aciid!!!
Let us hope so.
@Julicavero,
Indonesia-Philippines 2-1?
hopefully better than that.
It's kind of jumping the bandwagon. This guy got his publicity. And well, I guess, that will be it.
By the way: Hope the squad will beat the Philippines tomorrow and be in the finals next.
Hi Colson,
You are right the guy is getting
all the publicity he wants.
Thank you for your support for our team, we really it.
sebaiknya kasus ini dipending dulu sampai timnas juara. biar konsen
TUKANG CoLoNG,
Karena gugatan sudah dimasukkan ke pengadilan maka sekarang ada dua kemungkinan : penggugat menarik gugatannya, atau dia ngotot, maka kita harapkan hakim akan menolak gugatan tsb. yang dimungkinkan oleh UU\nya.
memang penyerang yang baik.tapi sayang mereka tidak menciptakan gelandang belakang yang baik pula.hingga kadang lupa dia mengoper bola pada mulut lawan.untuk menelanjangi rumahnya sendiri untuk di masuki pencuri.posting yang baik
salam pula dari ASPeMusik yg lama absen

Blogger Wisata Murah,
Mudah2-an kekurangan-kekurangan para pemain dibabak penyisihan sudah diperbaiki pada semi final malam ini dan minggu.
disaat2 timnas indonesia membutuhkan dukungan dari seluruh rakyat indonesia, semestinya kita memfokuskan diri terlebih dahulu pada pertandingan malam ini dan berharap dan berdoa agar indonesia bisa jadi juara AFF...
btw, bisa nggak ya tukaran link dengan blog ini?
salam kenal dan maaf klo aku koment-nya pake bhs Indonesia!
Dasril Iteza,
Senang berkenalan dengan anda dan saling tukar link. Saya sangat menghargai komentar dalam bahasa Indonesia. Terima kasih.
Tentang Timnas :
Sebaiknya selama pertandingan di AFF semua rakyat memberi dukungan penuh.
inilah hukum dunia, terlalu banyak celah yang ada..... tujuan UU ini untuk melindungi lambang negara agar tdk disalahgunakan, tapi bukankah di ajang olahraga lambang negara sering dipakai?
R10,
Orang sering menafsirkan hukum secara sempit untuk kepentingan sendiri.
syukurlah, meski dg susah payah akhirnya tim garuda bisa menang. saya juga belum tahu pasti, apakah gambar garuda di kaos tim pssi melanggar UU no. 24/2009 apa ndak?
Halo Sawali,
Mudah2an mereka terus berjuang keras agar terus menang.
Tentang Garuda:
Ada pasal 52 UU tbs yng bolehkan memakai bagi mereka yang wakili Indonesia.
