Is It True That Sukatani's Vocalist Was Fired From Her Job as a Teacher Before the Song 'Pay Pay Pay' Went Viral?

Kapanlagi.com - Novi Citra Indriyati, the vocalist of the band Sukatani, was fired from her job as a teacher at the Mutiara Hati Integrated Islamic Elementary School in Banjarnegara on February 6, 2025. This dismissal occurred before the controversial song 'Pay Pay Pay' went viral. Violations of the foundation's code of ethics and Novi's non-compliance as an educator were cited as the reasons. The Ombudsman and FSGI are also investigating this case.

The Regent of Purbalingga, Fahmi Muhammad Hanif, offered Novi a teaching position in the Purbalingga area. The Minister of Human Rights, Natalius Pigai, also intervened, ordering his staff to investigate the truth of the dismissal and ensure Novi's human rights protection.

The controversial song 'Pay Pay Pay' is the main trigger of this controversy. Its lyrics, which are considered to criticize law enforcement, sparked a strong reaction. The song has been removed from streaming platforms as a form of accountability. This case has sparked public debate about freedom of expression and professional responsibility.

1. The Mystery Behind Novi's Dismissal

The dismissal of Novi Citra Indriyati has raised many questions. Is this dismissal really unrelated to the song "Pay Pay Pay"? The public is still waiting for a clear answer. The school insists that the reason for the dismissal is purely a violation of the code of ethics, but various parties doubt this.

The Indonesian Ombudsman of Central Java Province and FSGI are also monitoring this case. They ensure that the dismissal process follows the mechanism and that there is no discrimination. These two institutions play a crucial role in overseeing the legal process and ensuring justice.

This case has sparked a debate about the limits of freedom of expression and responsibility. How can a balance between the two be achieved? This debate is important to ensure that freedom of expression is not abused, but also not suppressed.
