JAKARTA - TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto will end his term of office or retire this November. Moreover, General Andika Perkasa has been approved by the DPR to become the new TNI Commander. Later, rumors emerged that Marshal Hadi was predicted to become Jokowi's minister and enter the ranks of the Indonesia Forward Cabinet.

Muslim political observer Arbi considers Marshal Hadi unfit to be given a post after retiring. Because according to him, there is no outstanding achievement that deserves to be proud of the commander who will have a birthday on November 8th.

"During his tenure as TNI commander, there were no outstanding achievements," said Muslim, Sunday, November 7. The Director of the Movement for Change explained that this could be seen from a number of events that became a national threat. Where said Muslim, there is no concrete solution from Hadi Tjahjanto. For example, in the case of the Natuna Waters, which has been repeatedly harassed by Chinese ships.

"There was no sound when maritime sovereignty in Natuna was undermined by PRC ships," explained Muslim. In fact, he continued, there was no sound of Commander Hadi, the Nanggala 402 sinking. "To honor the Navy soldiers who died at the bottom of the ocean was not heard," he said.

In addition, added Muslim, Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto also seemed silent in responding to public issues regarding the rise of the PKI. He did not even hum the invitation to watch the G30S/PKI film.

"Even facing the armed rebellion in Papua, there is no clear attitude. Perhaps there is no visible achievement to be proud of to be given a post after retirement," concluded Muslim.
