SORONG |BELUPOS.Com] – Di ruang sidang Pengadilan Negeri Sorong, drama hukum terus bergulir. Kasus sengketa tanah dengan nomor perkara 57/Pdt.G/2025/PN yang disebut-sebut sebagai modus “tipu-tipu Abunawas”, kini memasuki babak kesaksian. Namun, alih-alih menghadirkan saksi yang mencerahkan, penggugat justru mendatangkan saksi yang dinilai sebagai “saksi palsu”—buruh proyek sementara yang tak tahu menahu tentang status tanah.
PT. Bagus Jaya Abadi (BJA), milik pengusaha Malaysia Paulus George Hung alias Ting-ting Ho alias Mr. Ching, mengajukan dua saksi. Kedua orang ini lebih sering menjawab “tidak tahu” ketimbang memberi keterangan substantif, karena memang mereka hanya pekerja lepas yang pernah ditugaskan menimbun tanah di Distrik Tampagaram, Kota Sorong.
“Dari fakta lapangan dan keterangan saksi, kami berkesimpulan ada upaya untuk memasuki dan menguasai lahan klien kami dengan cara paksa. Persidangan ini seperti pintu belakang untuk mengesahkan kepemilikan melalui jalur hukum,” tegas Advokat Simon Maurits Soren, S.H., M.H., kuasa hukum tergugat, Senin (1/9/2025).
Simon, yang dikenal kerap memberi bantuan hukum probono, meminta agar majelis hakim mempertimbangkan bukti lapangan, dokumen, dan kesaksian yang valid dalam memutuskan perkara. “Kami hanya ingin mempertahankan milik kami, tidak lebih. Saya berharap majelis hakim menjatuhkan putusan yang benar dan adil,” tambahnya.
Di sisi lain, Wilson Lalengke, alumni Lemhannas RI, mendesak Komisi Yudisial RI untuk turun langsung mengawasi persidangan.
“Kasus ini sejak awal sudah terang benderang: cara licik mafia tanah untuk merampas hak masyarakat lokal, memanfaatkan celah hukum dan praktik suap di peradilan. KY harus hadir, demi menjaga wibawa peradilan kita,” tegas Wilson, Selasa (2/9/2025).
Kasus ini bukan sekadar sengketa lahan, melainkan ujian nurani hukum: apakah keadilan masih bisa tegak ketika kepentingan modal asing dan mafia tanah mencoba menundukkannya?

Civil Case ‘Abunawas Trickery’ in Sorong District Court: False Witnesses, Land Mafia, and the Call for Justice
Sorong – Inside the courtroom of Sorong District Court, a legal drama unfolds. The land dispute registered under case number 57/Pdt.G/2025/PN, widely dubbed as “Abunawas trickery”, has entered the witness stage. Yet, instead of clarity, the plaintiff presented witnesses deemed “false”—mere temporary laborers unfamiliar with land ownership.
PT. Bagus Jaya Abadi (BJA), owned by Malaysian businessman Paulus George Hung alias Ting-ting Ho alias Mr. Ching, put forward two witnesses. Their testimonies, filled with repeated “I don’t know”, revealed their lack of knowledge—they were only casual workers hired for soil filling in Tampagaram District, Sorong City.
“From the facts and testimonies, we conclude there is an attempt to forcibly seize our client’s land. This trial looks like a backdoor to legalize illegal ownership,” asserted Advocate Simon Maurits Soren, S.H., M.H., defense lawyer, Monday (September 1, 2025).
Simon, known for his probono advocacy, urged the panel of judges to weigh field evidence, authentic documents, and credible testimonies. “We only want to defend what is rightfully ours. I trust the court will seek the truth and deliver justice,” he added.
Meanwhile, Wilson Lalengke, a Lemhannas RI alumnus, called on the Judicial Commission of Indonesia to closely monitor the proceedings.
“From the beginning, this case has been clear: a cunning scheme by land mafias to rob indigenous rights, exploiting loopholes and bribery in the judiciary. The Judicial Commission must step in, to safeguard the dignity of our justice system,” Wilson stressed, Tuesday (September 2, 2025).
This case is more than a land dispute—it is a moral test of justice: can the law stand firm when money and mafia attempt to bend it?

Caso Civil ‘Engano de Abunawas’ no Tribunal Distrital de Sorong: Testemunhas Falsas, Máfia da Terra e o Clamor pela Justiça
Sorong – No tribunal de Sorong, um drama jurídico continua. O litígio de terras registado sob o processo número 57/Pdt.G/2025/PN, conhecido como “engano de Abunawas”, entrou na fase das testemunhas. Porém, em vez de esclarecer, o autor apresentou testemunhas consideradas “falsas” — simples trabalhadores temporários sem conhecimento da posse da terra.
A PT. Bagus Jaya Abadi (BJA), pertencente ao empresário malaio Paulus George Hung, também chamado Ting-ting Ho ou Mr. Ching, apresentou duas testemunhas. As respostas, cheias de “não sei”, mostraram a sua incompetência — eram apenas operários ocasionais contratados para aterros no Distrito Tampagaram, Cidade de Sorong.
“Pelos factos e pelos depoimentos, concluímos que existe uma tentativa de ocupar à força as terras do nosso cliente. Este julgamento parece uma porta traseira para legalizar uma apropriação ilegal,” afirmou o Advogado Simon Maurits Soren, S.H., M.H., segunda-feira (1/9/2025).
Simon, conhecido pela sua defesa probono, pediu que o tribunal considere provas de campo, documentos autênticos e testemunhos credíveis. “Só queremos defender o que é nosso. Confio que os juízes procurem a verdade e façam justiça,” acrescentou.
Por sua vez, Wilson Lalengke, ex-aluno do Lemhannas RI, apelou à Comissão Judicial da Indonésia para acompanhar de perto o processo.
“Desde o início, este caso foi claro: um esquema ardiloso da máfia da terra para roubar os direitos locais, explorando falhas legais e corrupção no sistema judicial. A Comissão Judicial deve intervir, para proteger a dignidade da nossa justiça,” frisou Wilson, terça-feira (2/9/2025).
Este caso é mais do que um litígio de terras — é uma prova moral para a justiça: poderá a lei permanecer firme quando o dinheiro e a máfia tentam dobrá-la?
