JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Concern over a case implicating the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Chairman Antasari Azhar, rock band Slank came to the commission building on Monday to show its support.

“This is a fantastic support from Slank because it is the first (public figure) that came to the KPK to show its support,” KPK deputy chairman for prevention Eko Tjiptadi told a conference here on Monday.

Slank, with its members Kaka, Bimbim, Ridho, Abdee and Ivan, arrived at the commission with their manager Bunda Ifet.

“Fight against corruption shall continue with or without Antasari,” Slank’s drummer Bimbim said.

Last week the public were shocked with news that Antasari might be among the intellectual actors behind the murder of a state owned company’s director Nasruddin Zulkarnaen, who was shot by a drive-by shooting that took place a day earlier as he left the Modernland golf course in Tangerang.

Antasari is summoned by the Jakarta Police Precinct on Monday to be questioned as a witness.
