JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives' Honorary Court (MKD) Habiburokhman proposed that the MKD summon KSAD General Dudung Abdurachman to the DPR. Moreover, Dudung had given directions so that TNI soldiers criticized Effendi Simbolon for calling the 'TNI like a mob'.

He said the MKD wanted to hear Dudung's clarification regarding his order regarding the statement of Commission I member Effendi Simbolon.

"Regarding Pak Dudung's statement that many have circulated in the WA group commission in the DPR, many have questioned why the DPR has been intimidated," said Habiburokhman at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, September 14.

"We also want to clarify because it is also related to Effendi Simbolon's statement, I propose that the MKD also summons Brother Dudung to the MKD. So so that it is clear, what is right, what is wrong, say it is wrong," he continued.

The Gerindra politician said the plan to summon him began with questions from legislators regarding the MKD's attitude towards Dudung's video. He hopes the summons will be carried out in the near future.

"I suggest first, but in the WAG (WhatsApp group) I have a lot of AKDs, there are two AKDs each asking how the MKD behaves, how come the DPR is intimidated like that," explained Habiburokhman.

According to him, if there is an excessive response regarding the problem, it should be resolved immediately. Moreover, said Habiburokhman, Effendi has also apologized for his remarks.

"Yes, we want to clear everything up, let everything be clear," said Habiburokhman. Previously, a video circulated by the Army Chief of Staff (KSAD) General Dudung Abdurachman, who directed the ranks of the Indonesian Army to respond to the statement by members of Commission I DPR RI Effendi Simbolon about the 'group'. In the 2 minutes 50 seconds video, it appears that Dudung is conducting a video conference with the ranks. On Dudung left, there is Deputy Army Chief of Staff (Wakasad) Lt. Gen. Agus Subiyanto.

The following is Dudung's direction to the ranks of TNI AD officers regarding Effendi Simbolon's statement which was recorded in the video:

We are fighters, so we are heroes. Don't be a vegetable chicken, I'll see it's all quiet. I'll see on the 26th I prove it to you... Don't just keep quiet. Who is he? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Our self-esteem, our honor, why was trampled on by him. Because I know he also got the wind of the problem, so we all sat down, silent.

In the future, there will be no more people like that. I have been taught what to say in the media, don't blame our soldiers later angry, our soldiers. Our soldiers are in the group, in the group, in the enlisted group, already hot, the non-commissioned groups are already angry. Why are we a group of officers taking it easy?

What are you afraid of being released from his position? or what? Danrem, dandim, I also look relaxed, lulling his position. Don't get used to it, I ask you, okay? Please move, empower FKPPI and all kinds of things not to accept the submission of Effendi Simbolon, massive, do it, no one should be afraid.

Don't be afraid that you will be removed from all kinds of things, I am responsible. So I ask for this to prove it, don't be silent then, afraid that your rank and position will be removed. You can prove what I did... (the words are not clear). The rank and position are Gusti Allah, God who regulates, not anyone, not anyone.

So you don't have to be afraid if your pride and honor are trampled on, why are we silent? I don't see any Lt. Col., the colonel said, the 1st star, 2nd star spoke in turmoil, I saw nothing. Just keep quiet, and he finally feels like he won. I emphasize again that there are no more users of Effendi Simbolon to beg to the region.

Don't be afraid of us, you don't have to be afraid. It doesn't matter, Commission I doesn't have any effect. He only asked for work. Commission I is a lot of good, everything is good except for him, Effendi Simbolon, the others don't exist.
