SULTRA - Commander of Kodam (Pangdam) XIV/Hasanuddin Major General TNI Totok Imam Santoso ordered his subordinates not to be backing up illegal companies in the Southeast Sulawesi (Sultra) region.

"In guarding, it is not allowed to protect illegal companies, do not install bodies for illegal companies," said the Military Commander during a working visit to Korem 143/Haluoleo in Kendari, Wednesday, May 17, which was confiscated by Antara.

The Military Commander requested that the ranks of Korem 143/Haluoleo not be behind illegal companies that could endanger the TNI AD soldiers themselves.

"Don't company it as if it's yours. Don't install an illegal company. Protect yourself too, don't get envelopes from the company," said the Pangdam.

The Pangdam also emphasized to all ranks of Korem 143/Haluoleo not to be arrogant, but to be a mediator or solution provider in the event of a problem.

"Don't look for enemies, if there is a problem, it must be a medium between the community and those who own the company. Don't side with the company because you want to get envelopes from the company," said the Pangdam.

Therefore, the Pangdam asked the Commander of Korem (Danrem) 143/Haluoleo and the commander of the Kodim (Dandim) in the area to ensure that their members do not take actions that violate the law.

"Danrem, Dandim, convince the members not to do anything. Don't be arrogant and must be a solution if there is a problem, not a threat or scare," said Totok.

Even so, the Pangdam believes that the ranks of Korem 143/Haruoleo do not rank any illegal companies in Southeast Sulawesi.

"So there are no soldiers who rank illegal companies, soldiers still have duties here, there is a regional development including geographical development, demographics and social conditions," he said.
