JAKARTA - The great name of General Hoegeng or Hoegeng Imam Santoso is already well-known. The former national police chief is known for his firmness and uprightness. The most precious treasure he left behind could be just honesty.

How could I not, throughout his career as a police officer, including when he was the chief of the Indonesian National Police, Hoegeng was reluctant to enrich himself. Especially corruption.

That upright attitude was maintained until retirement. Let alone abundant wealth. His daily life depends on a pension of Rp10,000 per month.

But the story of a good police officer is not limited to General Hoegeng. There are still others and perhaps there are still many that have not been explored.

One of them is Royadin. The inspirational story occurred in 1969 for daring to ticket the King of Yogyakarta, Sri Sultan HB IX. At that time, Royadin was in charge of supervising traffic in Pekalongan.

This story was again revealed by the Trenggalek Police via the Twitter account @1trenggalek. The story begins when Sri Sultan drives his car from Tegal to Yogyakarta.

When passing through Pekalongan, Sri Sultan entered the forbidden route. Sri Sultan's car was intercepted by Royadin. He wanted to ask for an identity document and vehicle ownership.

"When the window was opened, Royadin almost fainted knowing that the driver was Sri Sultan HB IX," wrote the @1trenggalek account.

Here, Royadin's determination to enforce the rules is tested. Apparently, he prefers to ticket Sri Sultan.

"With shaking hands, he still wrote a ticket for Sri Sultan. He was getting more and more worried because the Sultan was just silent when he was ticketed," said the Trenggalek Police account.

Since the receipt was submitted. Royadin's mind was unsettled. Until the next day, Royadin received an invitation letter to attend the Yogyakarta Palace. He had resigned that he would be fired.

Getting to know Royadin, the Honest Policeman who Tried the KingThis is an extraordinary story of a policeman who enforces discipline with a brave soul. Hopefully he will be an example for the community, the police and his family😎

However, as it turned out, Royadin's fear actually happened the other way around. "In the letter, the Sultan even asked Royadin and his family to move to Yogyakarta. Apparently, the Sultan was impressed by the honesty of the police," he wrote.

Responding to the letter, Royadin confessed to Sri Sultan that he chose to stay in his homeland, Pekalongan, and continue the task he had previously carried out.

After that, Royadin briefly moved to Boyolali, Batang, Semarang, where he served as Head of the Warungasem Police. Royadin retired after serving in the police for 21 years with the rank of First Lieutenant Assistant. Until finally, Royadin died on February 14, 2007.
