JAKARTA - Former Commissioner of Kompolnas Andrea H Poeloengan Indonesianis spoke up regarding the case of the beating of a volunteer from a presidential candidate that occurred in Boyolali, Central Java, some time ago.

According to him, it is necessary to enforce the same law for lawbreakers. The persecution by 6 TNI soldiers who are suspected of being perpetrators is not justified and has entered the legal process, TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto and Army Chief of Staff General Maruli Simanjuntak does not tolerate and has taken firm action against soldiers who violate these rules. Even the Army Chief of Staff has stated that the trial is open.

"If it is true, the information conveyed by the Army Chief of Staff, then according to the law, it is also necessary to enforce the law against motorcyclists who are suspected of being drunk, without a letter, and the motorbike that had a noisy exhaust on the incident in Boyolali, which resulted in persecution by 6 TNI soldiers who have now become suspected perpetrators," he said, Friday, January 5.

Andrea explained that motorcyclists also need to receive punishment. Moreover, based on the explanation of the Army Chief of Staff, General TNI Maruli Simanjuntak, at the ROSI event, Kompas TV, on Thursday night, January 4, 2024. The riders had turned around as if to ignite the emotions of the soldiers on duty.

Don't just look at the video for a few seconds. The incident occurred at 11.19 WIB. They have been circling since 09.00 WIB. They have been around 8 times, have been warned several times. They are also in a drunken state," explained KASAD General Maruli Simanjuntak at the ROSI event on Kompas TV on Thursday, January 4 evening.

Based on the Army Chief of Staff's explanation, motorcycles with allegations of being drunk, without letters, and motorbikes with noisy exhausts should be dealt with based on the Highway Transport Traffic Law Number 22 of 2009 (LLAJ Law) and/or the Criminal Code.

For this reason, the victims of the persecution should also be subjected to legal examination after recovering and proper health conditions, on suspicion of a drunk motor, without a letter, and a noisy exhausted motorbike based on a number of layered articles, namely Article 280 and/or, Article 281 and/or, Article 283 and/or, Article 285 paragraph (1) and/or, Article 288 paragraph (1) and/or paragraph (2) and/or, Article 311 and/or, Article 291 paragraph (1) and/or paragraph (2), the LLAJ Law and/or Article 492 of the Criminal Code Paragraph (1) This law enforcement Criminal Code aims to provide legal certainty that the law applies to all, justice for victims of citizens who are disturbed by their comfort due to the presence of motorcyclists suspected of being drunk, without letters, and motorbikes that are exhaustively noisy, as well as the benefit of social order and preventing crimes and violations.

"Another benefit is to build vigilance and prevent 'disinformation', 'hoax', 'framing' that is not in accordance with actual events and existing legal facts, which can be used by people who are not responsible for provoking the public so that there is a potential for conflict that can disrupt national stability and resilience," he said.

Andrea continued, the police and the local District Attorney's Office needed to get together immediately and synergize to collect the bang equipment until they found the suspect, on suspicion of a legal incident, there was a suspected drunk motorcyclist, without a letter, and a motorbike with a noisy exhaust.

"Also for the local community who feel aggrieved by motorcyclists who are suspected of being drunk, without a letter, and the motorbike that has a noisy exhaust can help law enforcers (in this case law enforcement officers from the Resort Police and the District Attorney), provide," he said.

Previously, Army Chief of Staff General TNI Maruli Simanjuntak, M.Sc. reiterated that the TNI still upholds neutrality in facing the 2024 General Election. He also asked all parties not to overdo it in drawing conclusions from the incident that occurred in Boyolali last week.

This was conveyed by Kasad in an exclusive interview with Rosiana Silalahi at an event entitled 'Resistance Persecution, Netrality of the TNI Questioned', broadcast on Kompas TV, Thursday, January 4.

Regarding the interview theme, Kasad stated that he regretted that there were parties who tried to link the incident that occurred towards the neutrality of the TNI. For this reason, he is grateful to have the opportunity to straighten out this oblique opinion.

"It has nothing to do with anything else (TNI neutrality). This is purely because my members are still young, so I responded that way. But judging from the current development, he ran everywhere. That's why I am grateful to be present at Rosi to clarify it," he said.

Kasad also emphasized that the swift action of the TNI AD in responding to the Boyolali incident was concrete evidence that the TNI AD did hold fast to neutrality. For this reason, he asked the public to see the incident in its entirety, not to immediately draw conclusions based on the short video circulating.
