<p>Jakarta, <strong><em>NU Online</em></strong><br />Deputy General Chairman of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) H As'ad Said &nbsp;Ali said he had an invitation from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to be a witness in the case of money laundering committed by Anas Urbaningrum, adding he had never engaged in any financial transaction with Anas.&nbsp;<br /><br />"So I know nothing what the problem is," he told <em>NU Online</em> here on Friday (11/4).<br /><br />According to As'ad, what he did with KH Attabik Ali (Anas's father-in-law) was a collaboration as an institution, to publish so-called Kamus Al-Munawwir (Al-Munawwir dictionary).<br /><br />"The (Al-Munawwir) dictionary is goodconsisting of four volumes. (It is) perhaps the best, from Arabic to Indonesian and Indonesian to Arabic and has spread everywhere," he said.<br /><br />He held the collaboration for considering that the Al-Munawwir dictionary "is exceptional quality" and said it was in March 2003.<br /><br />"The case of Anas is in 2013, ten years ago. I do not know where the connection is. I do not know where the problem is. If money laundering it was impossible because I never dealt with Anas Urbaningrum," he explained.<br /><br />But, he deeply respected and supported the Commission although he did not attend the invitation. Because in addition to having a meeting at NU, it was a sudden invitation. He promised, if invited again, he will come and give information needed.<br /><br />"I will help the Commission, as it were. Thank God I became a celebrity, (while laughing). I am happy for being able to help the Commission. Because I feel I have no errors, I'am so happy," he concluded.<br /><br /><strong>Editing by Sudarto Murtaufiq</strong></p>
