The House of Representatives Commission I and the government suddenly held a working committee meeting (panja) for the revision of the TNI Law at the Fairmont Hotel, Jakarta. This activity was held for two days on March 14-15.

On Saturday, March 15, a number of representatives from the civil society coalition broke into the meeting room at around 17.40 they unfurled posters and expressed rejection of the TNI's duality and rejected the hasty discussion of the TNI Bill.

Before long, they were forced to leave the meeting room, causing the KontraS representative to fall. After leaving the meeting room, demands for rejection of the TNI Bill were again voiced before finally leaving the location.

The revision of the TNI Law invites polemic because it is feared that it will revive ABRI's dyafunction. There are a number of proposed changes in the DIM Revision of the TNI Law from the government, including the expansion of the placement of active TNI soldiers in 15 ministries and institutions.

Even though it has been expanded, the government proposes TNI soldiers to occupy civilian positions outside 15 ministries and institutions. However, on condition that they must retire early or resign.

Then, this revision is allegedly aimed at determining the increase in the age of service for soldiers up to 58 years for non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel. Meanwhile, the official term for officers can reach the age of 60 years.

In addition, there is a possibility that the official term will be extended to 65 years for soldiers who occupy functional positions. As for the 4-star high-ranking officers, the retirement period is in accordance with the president's discretion.
