KRI Nanggala (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Democratic politician Roy Suryo made a 'controversial' tweet amidst the search for KRI Nanggala-402 in Bali waters. Roy Suryo compared the loss of KRI Nanggala-402 belonging to the Navy with Harun Masiku, a fugitive from the KPK.

Roy Suryo's controversial statement was tweeted via the @ KRMTRoySuryo2 account. Roy Suryo, the former Menpora who was in the spotlight because of the case of items including plates related to the “lost” position, hopes that KRI-402 will be found soon.

"Unfortunately, the hope that was published by the media a year ago is in contrast to the shocking news that was just received about" The disappearance of KRI Nanggala-402 "just now. Maritime forces that should be respected are like Harun Masikiu & KPK's Evidence Truck? " tweeted Roy Suryo, Wednesday, April 21.

TNI Explains the Loss of KRI Nanggala-402

The Indonesian Navy suspects that there was interference when KRI Nanggala-402 was diving statically in Bali waters. This condition made KRI Nanggala-402 out of control until finally contact lost.

“It is possible that during static diving there will be a blackout so that the ship is out of control and emergency procedures cannot be carried out. "There should be an emergency button to blow so that the ship can rise to the surface so that the ship falls at a depth of 600-700 meters," said the Information Service of the Indonesian Navy, Wednesday, April 21.

KRI Nanggala-402 previously requested permission to dive in Bali waters at 03.00 WIB, Wednesday, April 21. It is planned that the submarine will carry out firing for a training rehearsal. However, the KRI Nanggala-402 lost contact.

The search was carried out using active sonar in the vicinity of the KRI Nanggala-402 dive. But to no avail.

Meanwhile, at 07.00 WIB, the search was carried out by air. An oil spill was seen at the location of the KRI Nanggala-402 diving.

"There was an oil spill around the submerged area, the possibility of a fuel tank damage (cracking) due to sea water pressure or a position signal from KRI NGL-402," continued Dispen TNI AL.
