The demonstration against the omnibus law of the Employment Creation Act (UU) left stories on social media with unclear narratives. One of them was about the participation of TNI soldiers in helping the student masses who were demonstrating at that time.
The impulse of TNI soldiers distributing food to students during a demonstration on Thursday, October 8, 2020, went viral. Pangdam Jaya, Major General Dudung Abdurachman also gave an explanation.
“In Monas, there were also TNI members who received rations from the management, that is, from TNI headquarters, in fact they supported us for food rations, but there were also people who identified with us and also gave food for the food out of excess, “said Dudung, beginning his explanation at a press conference on Friday, October 9, 2020.
“Well, maybe there are members of us who are overly educated, there are students who are educating themselves, are making peaceful demonstrations, some ask, yes, maybe there are members who personally feel sorry that they end up giving the food, because instead of not eating it. give drinking water, “he added.
Additionally, there is also a video on social media showing the Indonesian Navy (AL) marines handing out shields to the demonstration masses. Dudung explained that the shields were not distributed to the protesters, but instead were transferred to other vehicles. This is because the truck full of shields will be used to transport students who cannot return home after participating in the demonstration.
“Yesterday there were also marines, after being notified by the governor, the students had difficulties to return home. That night they would return to Pamulang for the governor to take them and then they would escort them to Pamulang, ”Dudung said.
