Going Beyond the Barracks
One clause sticks out among the hundreds of others in the draft presidential regulation on the organizational structure of the Indonesian National Military (TNI). Only after scrutinizing the draft did a defense commission member of the House of Representatives (DPR), Tubagus Hasanuddin, see it. "There seems to be a new twist in the law," Hasanuddin said on Thursday last week.
The clause is at the end of Article 7 of the draft regulation. Comprising three paragraphs, the article contains sentences and punctuation marks that essentially duplicate Article 7 of Law No. 34/2004 on the TNI. "It's an opening for the military to go beyond its principal duties without supervision," Hasanuddin added.
