Bangun explained that the village head was also asked for information about his reasons for wearing the TNI uniform.
"He feels proud because he has just graduated from being educated at an army education institution. He feels that he has a military spirit so he uses the uniform," he explained.

"But whatever the activity, TNI uniforms cannot be used other than active soldiers," he said.
