JAKARTA - Chief of Army Staff (KSAD) General TNI Dudung Abdurachman reminded all Commanders of the Main Command (Pangkotama) to pay attention to the condition of the army soldiers.

"I don't want my soldiers to suffer. I don't want my soldiers to be in trouble", said Dudung at Headquarters, Jakarta, Wednesday, May 11.

Dudung ordered all his staff to check if any soldiers or family members were sick and had difficulty getting treatment. The Indonesian Army must take appropriate action to help soldiers who are in trouble, he stressed.

"I convey to all ranks, try to check. Do not let any subordinates who have been sick for years, there is no solution. This must be found and we must be able to do something", he said.

Dudung asked all Military Commanders (Pangdam) to check the condition of all soldiers. He appealed to soldiers on duty at locations far enough to report immediately if there was a problem.

"Pangdam, I ask to find a case like this. I want all Army soldiers not to suffer, the sick, whatever, look for it. Especially those far away. Don't let the soldiers suffer, suffer", he said.

In addition to paying attention to the condition of the Indonesian Army soldiers, Dudung also asked all his staff to be sensitive to the difficulties that befell the community.

Regarding the improvement in the condition of the Indonesian Army soldiers, Dudung was touched by the success of the operation to separate the conjoined twins, Joana and Jovalin, who are the children of Serda Fredrik Lumowa, a member of Kodim 1302/Minahasa.

"I am very touched that for more than two years my men have faced such a situation and finally it was granted because of God's help through the Commander of the XIII/Merdeka Kodam (Major General TNI Alfred Denny Tuejeh), the head of the hospital", he said.

Joana and Jovalin are the children of Lumowa and his wife, Marcela Sumakul. Dudung said the success of the operation to separate conjoined twins, children of the Indonesian Army, was the happiest moment in his life.

"Perhaps this day in life is the happiest", he said.
