How about a letter of recomendation for a panel of doctors chosen by the courts - rather than just his own.

Justice and human rights minister Patrialis Akbar debunked rumors that graft convict Sjahril Djohan is currently in Singapore.

Sjahril, a former diplomat, was jailed for 18 months in October for funneling bribes to a National Police general, having dodged heavier penalties for case-fixing.

He was identified as a major case broker operating at the National Police headquarters by former chief of detectives, Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji and is supposed to be in detention at Cipinang Penitentiary.

“After I checked by phone with the Judicial Mafia Eradication Task Force, the allegation was not true,” Patrialis said on Monday, adding that Sjahril has been confined at the Abdi Waluyo Hospital in Central Jakarta since Jan. 28.

He said that before Sjahril was allowed to stay in the hospital, he had gone through the required procedure and submitted a recommendation letter from his doctor.

“Don't commit too much libel in the country and believe there is no legal violation,” Patrialis said. “There is no more playing around in upholding the law.”

He also said that the ministry is preparing a hospital at the penitentiary in order to enable the inmates to seek medical treatment without having to leave the premises.

“We are working to complete the hospital's facilities and equipment [at Cipinang],” he said.
