The widely contested revisions to the military law are still within reasonable limits.
Indonesia’s revised military law raises concerns over transparency, civilian roles and governance.
Indonesia’s military expands its role into civilian affairs under Prabowo. What does this mean for the country’s democracy?
Indonesia’s proposed Kodam expansion faces criticism for being outdated, straining the budget and risking a return to military dominance. It is suggested for the military focusing on strategic troop placement and prioritizing reforms to address contemporary security threats instead.
It has been four years since the ratification of the revised law on terrorism, but the Indonesian government has yet to issue a Presidential Regulation (Perpres) on TNI’s involvement in counterterrorism operations. What is the progress? Why has it been delayed? What are the issues that have yet to be explored?
Despite the Indonesian government’s good intentions to ensure the well-being of fallen submariners’ families, these initiatives demonstrate a need for well-established social security schemes for TNI personnel.
Terrorists continue to attack Indonesia’s security apparatus including its military (TNI). TNI needs to heighten security measures to prevent future attacks on its personnel and installations.
