JAKARTA - Commission I DPR held a closed hearing with the Head of BAIS TNI, Lieutenant General TNI Joni Supriyanto, which took place behind closed doors at the Parliament Building, Jakarta, Monday, March 29.

Member of Commission I DPR, Dave Akbarshah Fikarno, revealed that at the meeting his party asked for an explanation from the TNI Strategic Intelligence Agency regarding various potential threats to the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia that might occur.

"There are things that we question regarding the alertness of the TNI as a whole to potential threats that come from anywhere," said Dave.

The Golkar politician thinks there is a potential threat to Indonesia's sovereignty. For example, recently about the potential conflict in the South China Sea and conflict in Myanmar, which is also a member of ASEAN.

According to Dave, it is necessary to anticipate the condition in Myanmar, whether the conflict will widen or not. Because he said, Indonesia must prepare a mature plan in case of civil war in the region.

"There must be alternative actions if there is a labor issue there (in Myanmar) and the attitude of the Indonesian government to handle it," he said.
