The day after the dissolution of the FPI, TNI-Polri built a post in Petamburan III

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – TNI-Polri built a pokso near the former headquarters of the Front of Islamic Defenders (FPI), in Jalan Petamburan III, Petamburan, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta. This post was built one day after the government dissolved the FPI.

Kapolsek Tanah Abang Kompol Singgih Hermawan said that this post was built to maintain security around the area of ​​the former FPI headquarters.

“Yesterday, a Ministerial Decree was issued regarding the dissolution of the FPI. We guarantee that Jakarta is safe, including Tanah Abang,” Singgih said on Thursday (12/31/2020).

Singgih said that the post at Jalan Petamburan III was built by three pillars, namely Koramil 05 / Tanah Abang, the Tanah Abang police and the Tanah Abang district.

“But the point is for all of us the union, not only for the 3 pillars, but also for the community. We all, especially the people here, are living normally again,” Singgih said.

On Wednesday (12/30/2020), dozens of TNI-Polri officers also arrived at Jalan Petamburan III just hours after the government officially announced the dissolution of the FPI.

The troops were led by Central Jakarta Kodim Commander Colonel Inf Luqman Arief and Central Jakarta Police Chief Kombes Heru Novianto.

The authorities immediately removed all the attributes that were still installed around the FPI headquarters. The attributes that were removed ranged from banners, name tags to stickers stuck on the glass of the FPI Secretariat.

In addition to being installed at the FPI headquarters and across from Rizieq’s house, the attribute also extends along Jalan Petamburan III to Jalan Raya KS Tubun.

There was no resistance from FPI sympathizers or neighbors when this operation was carried out. The police asked several residents to help remove the various attributes of the FPI that were installed in front of their houses.
