Bam seed invites all parties to strengthen the national unity after riots
Jakarta member of the Indonesian Parliament as well as Deputy Chairman/Head of the Fkppi State Defense Agency (TNI -Polri -Polri Son -Women’s Communication Forum) Bambang Soesatyo (Bamsoet) emphasized that the demonstration that broke out at the end of the last August. According to him, the freedom of opinion guaranteed by the Constitution should not be injured by anarchist acts that harm the wider community. It was revealed by him while attending the 47th Fkppi National Birthday discussion in Jakarta today. Ketum Fkppi Pontjo Sutowo, Fkppi Waketum Indra Bambang Utoyo, Laksda Tni (Ret.) Robert Mangindaan, Major Genl. (Ret.) I Dewa Putu Rai and former Governor Lemhanas Eni Widjajanto, were present at the event. “Democracy provides the space for the people to convey striving. Browse to continue the content, he explained that the demonstration of the end of August opened three important lessons. First, the government must strengthen public communication, so that dissatisfaction does not overflow on the street in a devastating way. Secondly, the security forces must maintain a balance between legal firmness and humanistic approach, so that the demonstration remains in a peaceful passage. Third, we must all be more mature in channeling ambitions, because violence will harm our own people. “We must learn that the demonstration is not the end of the dialogue, but part of the democratic process. But if the course is wrong, democracy can turn into anarchy. Therefore, all parties, both government, apparatus, DPR and the community, must find, hear and solutions,” Bamsoet said. He also reminded it in the midst of the increasingly dynamic vortex of global change, the Indonesian people are now being tested with much more complicated threats. From geopolitical conflicts, climate crises, technological disruptions, to cyber war and disinformation that enter the digital space of the community. The report on the global risk report 2025 released by the World Economy Forum places geopolitical conflicts, technological disruption and climate crisis as the top three threats in the next few years. The Indonesian population felt the impact in the form of food prices rising as a result of the global disorder of the supply chain, energy uncertainty, cyber attacks, to the potential for climate migration in the Southeast Asian region. “Global threats are a reality that forces us to improve. Unity must not only be a symbol, but must be realized in the readiness to face all kinds of global threats. We need to strengthen diversity with the ability, care for unity with authoritative policies and the sovereignty of information with broad literacy,” Bamsoet explained. He explained that cyber threats are very serious now. The Siber and Sandi State Agency (BSSN) noted, in just the first six months of 2025, more than RP 1.7 billion cyber attacks against the national digital infrastructure were detected. The number is not just statistics. Attacks can paralyze data centers, disrupt public services, even disrupt transport and health systems. In 2024, the national data center was paralyzed due to attacks on ransomware, which caused hundreds of public services to be disrupted. From the immigration system at the airport to health administration services that are all affected. The crisis forced the government to conduct a massive audit of the state data security system. “Other threats come from the Information War. Disinformation and Hoaks are still spreading, especially in important times such as elections, or when the government has issued strategic policies. Organized false narratives can divide the community, strengthen polarization and move the masses quickly. (Akn/Ega)
