DIY - The Regent of Sleman, Kustini Sri Purnomo did not expect his citizens to be suspected of being involved in terrorism networks. He asked his people not to be easily exposed to radical views by being able to filter the knowledge and information circulating.
"I am surprised that Sleman residents were arrested because of suspected terrorists. I hope that other residents will not be provoked or influenced by the same views or notions of radicalism," said Kustini in Sleman, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY), Sunday, January 22.
A resident of Jetis Pandowoharjo, Sleman, with the initials AW is suspected of being involved in terrorism, was arrested by Densus 88 Police Headquarters on Sunday, January 22.
As an effort to anticipate this, Kustini asked all stakeholders to strengthen socialization and understanding the dangers of radicalism in every community group.
"The whole community must be vigilant [terrorism] and socialize religious models that prioritize tolerance and invite peace, because tolerance is taught by the Prophet," he said.
The case of the arrest of the suspected terrorist in Sleman has become a serious concern for the local district government, so Kustini asked the public to have an understanding and apply a high tolerance attitude, and stay away from radicalism in any form.
"Moreover, the people of Sleman are diverse and can be called mini Indonesia. So, it is necessary to strengthen tolerance to treat the diversity of Sleman as a common home," he added.
He also asked for the role of Jaga Warga to be improved again to prevent unwanted events from happening.
"Let's encourage the Citizens' Movement to be encouraged again. Vigilance is increased. Do not let us be indifferent to the small things that are around us. Mr. RT, RW, and dukuh must know the activities of residents so that if there are things that are not natural, they can be anticipated," he concluded.
