JAKARTA - The awarding of the rank of Lieutenant Colonel Tintuler to Deddy Corbuzier is still being questioned by a number of parties. The reason is, there is no urgency of giving the rank handed over by Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto to celebrities. Responding to this, the spokesman for the Minister of Defense, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, explained the consideration of giving the rank of Lieutenant Colonel Tintuler to Deddy Corbuzier. Namely, his ability to communicate on social media to spread national messages and socialize the contents of defense issues. "Deddy was given this rank taking into account the special abilities needed by the TNI. Namely the communication capacity in social media, capabilities, and performance. Deddy will help the TNI to spread national messages and socialize the tasks of the TNI in order to maintain Indonesia's defense," said Dahnil in his statement, Monday, December 10. Dahnil said that the legal basis for granting the rank of Lieutenant Colonel Tintuler to Deddy Corbuzier was Government Regulation Number 39 of 2010 concerning the Administration of TNI Soldiers. According to the PP, said Dahnil, the rank of betuler is one of the special TNI ranks apart from being a local rank. In Article 5 paragraph (2) letter b, it explains that the rank of betuler is the rank given to a citizen who is commensurate with his soldier position. The position that is held by a person with the rank of betiler, is as low as Second Lieutenant. "Tituler rank is given to the required citizens and is willing to carry out certain military duties within the TNI," he said. The duties of certain soldier positions are the duties of positions within the TNI which are absolutely occupied by officers, such as spiritual officers or correlated officers. The use of the rank of military itself is only valid as long as the recipient holds the position of soldier. "After the person who received the term tautler no longer holds the position of soldier, the rank will be revoked," said Dahnil. Dahnil added, Article 29 of Government Regulation Number 39 of 2010, explaining that recipients of the Tituler rank will receive limited administrative treatment as long as they are still holding positions or ranks have not been revoked. With this title, added Dahnil, Deddy will also be directly bound by military regulations. Including losing his voting rights in the general election (Election). "Deddy will be bound by military rules, including losing his right to vote while he is on duty," said Dahnil.
