Five countries' defense ministers to discuss ISIS issue

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The defense ministers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, and the Philippines will meet on June 19 in Tarakan, North Kalimantan, to discuss the ISIS issue in Marawi, Southern Philippines.

"Along with the defense ministers from Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, and the Philippines, we will gather in Tarakan to discuss the spread of ISIS," Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu remarked here on Thursday.

He noted that the meeting of defense ministers from the five countries is aimed at anticipating the possible entry of ISIS into Indonesia from Southern Philippines.

Ryacudu said he had predicted 1.5 years ago that the ISIS problem would arise in Indonesia, and hence, vigilance against this threat needs to be improved.

According to Ryacudu, ISIS is a common enemy of the Indonesian nation, soldiers, police, community, and journalists.

In the meantime, a member of Commission I of the House of Representatives Dimyati Natakusumah stated in a text message received here on Thursday that the Indonesian National Army (TNI) is deemed necessary to assist the Philippine military to attack the pro-ISIS extremist group Maute in Marawi, Mindanao, the Philippines.

"I think the TNI needs to help the Philippines attack the ISIS in Marawi," Natakusumah remarked.

He said the TNI is needed to play a part in maintaining world order as well as preventing the entry of ISIS into Indonesia through its northern border.

Ridlwan Habib, an intelligence observer of the University of Indonesia, also seconded the view that the TNI needs to help the Philippines as a form of responsibility of Southeast Asian countries.

Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Wiranto had earlier revealed that the Indonesian military is ready to help the Philippines attack the base of the pro-ISIS group in Marawi.

The TNI will ally with the militaries of several countries: Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and the Philippines.

The Philippine government has invited Indonesia and Malaysia to combat terrorism. The Philippines has responded positively to Indonesias willingness to play a role in resolving the conflict in Marawi, Mindanao.

Why Indonesia use and bought more M134? The Komodo Armament already manufacture similar gun named Eli gun.... Even though many netizens said it just a rebranded M134, the difference is uncanny :
Eli Gun

M134

Eli Gun

M134

From the news over the Internet I knew that Komodo Armaments is exporting their weapons, it is just that they don't publicly announce which countries bought their weapons.

We don't need to go as far as sending troop to the philippines. Their troop and equipment is adequate.......we need to strengthen our border and access to our country eithr by sea ,land or air. Any indonesian involvement will be an excuse for them (ISIS) to justify increasing attack aginst us.....

GANDENG INVESTOR EROPA TIMUR, PINDAD TINGKATKAN PRODUKSI AMUNISI
16 JUNE 2017 DIANEKO_LC 1 COMMENT
PT Pindad (Persero) akan meningkatkan kapasitas pabrik amunisinya yang ada di Turen, Malang.‎ Peningkatan kapasitas ini dalam rangka meningkatkan peran perusahaan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan amunisi dalam negeri dan memperluas pasar ke dunia.

Direktur Utama Pindad Abraham Mose mengatakan peningkatan kapasitas ini juga sudah menjadi bagian dari rencana perusahaan dalam jangka menengah.

“Ini kita akan mulai pada 2018 dan untuk melaksanakan itu kita datangkan investor dari luar negeri, tepatnya dari negara di Eropa Timur,” kata Abraham, Jumat (16/6/2017).

Dia mengaku dengan menggandeng investor luar negeri ini merupakan bentuk loncatan bagi perusahaan dalam mewujudkan cita-cita menjadi perusahaan terkemuka di Asia pada 2023.

Dipilihnya peningkatan kapasitas produksi amunisi lantaran saat ini Pindad belum mampu memenuhi semua kebutuhan amunisi TNI yang notabene menjadi pelanggan tetapnya.

Abraham menjelaskan, kebutuhan amunisi TNI sendiri setiap tahun mencapai 600 juta butir peluru. Namun kapasitas Pindad sendiri setiap tahunnya hanya mampu memproduksi 160 juta butir peluru.

“Makanya kita akan tingkatkan produksinya. Nanti akan menjadi 290 juta butir peluru per tahunnya. Itu pun masih defisit,” kata dia.

Untuk investasinya sendiri, Abraham mengungkapkan akan memakan biaya mencapai Rp 400 miliar. Pindad tetap menjadi yang dominan, yaitu tetap di atas 50 persen.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Coordinating Maritime Affairs Minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said that the Indonesian Government will partner with China in the fields of trade and maritime security under the One Belt One Road Forum.

Luhut claims that Indonesia’s economy has improved, which is reflected by having foreign exchange amounting up to US$125 billion.

“[The figure] is surely the highest in Indonesia’s history,” Luhut said on Friday, June 16, 2017.

During a meeting with Chinese government representatives, Luhut revealed a number of investment spots being developed by the Indonesian Government. Included in the important investment spots is the North Sumatera integrated project.

According to Luhut, the Indonesia government is currently preparing to develop a hydropower plant, nuclear industry and port in North Kalimantan. He also mentioned about the development of an integrated tourism in Bitung, North Sulawesi.

“In terms of tourist destinations, we are preparing one in Bali following to a joint feasibility study with China,” Luhut said.

Luhut also met with the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) chairman Liu Qitao and China Development Bank chairman Hu Huaibang, who according to Luhut have expressed interest in investing in Indonesia.

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Setelah menetapkan tiga orang tersangka atas kasus dugaan korupsi pengadaan Helikopter Agusta Westlan (AW) 101, Pusom TNI menambah satu orang lagi. Dia merupakan Kepala Unit Layanan Pengadaan (KULP) TNI AU berinisial FTS.

"Maka hari ini kami ingin menyampaikan satu orang tersangka dari TNI AU Kolonel Kal FTS SE yang perannya sebagai Kepala Unit Layanan Pengadaan," tutur Mayjen Dodik Wijanarko saat jumpa pers di Gedung KPK, Jalan Kuningan Persada, Kuningan, Jakarta Pusat, Jumat (16/6/2017).
Dodik menyebut, setelah penetapan keempatnya sebagai tersangka, masih tidak menutup kemungkinan akan ada lagi nama tambahan yang terjerat.

"POM TNI bekerja sama dengan KPK, PPATK. Itu masih terus melakukan kegiatan penyelidikan dan penyidikan," jelas Dodik.

Pusat Polisi Militer TNI (Puspom TNI) sebelumnya sudah menetapkan tiga tersangka, dalam kasus pengadaan Helikopter AW-101. Ketiganya dari TNI AU, yakni dua perwira Marsma FA, dan Letkol WW, serta seorang bintara tinggi, Pelda SS.

Dalam kasus ini, KPK juga telah gelar perkara atau ekspose, terkait dugaan keterlibatan PT Diratama Jaya Mandiri. Perusahaan ini sempat digeledah Puspom TNI dan KPK. Temuan-temuan dalam penggeledahan kini masih dipelajari penyidik KPK.

Pembelian Helikopter AW-101 tidak disetujui Presiden Joko Widodo atau Jokowi. Heli ini dibanderol dengan harga sekitar Rp 715 miliar dan diduga merugikan negara hingga Rp 220 miliar.

TNI, community intensify border security to prevent entry of ISIS
Sabtu, 17 Juni 2017 03:17 WIB - 866 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) and community have intensified border security to prevent the entry of Marawi-based pro-ISIS extremist group Maute from the Philippines into Indonesia, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Wiranto stated.

"The TNI and community have set up joint posts that are equipped with an early warning system," he noted at the ministrys office here on Friday.

He remarked that based on the coordination meeting in Manado, North Sulawesi, the TNI had, so far, deployed additional troops in the outer islands adjacent to the Philippines, as the Indonesian Navy had stepped up patrolling in the border regions.

He said vigilance against ISIS should constantly be improved during the ongoing conflict in Marawi, Mindanao, the Philippines.

He pointed out that due to the proximity between the Indonesian border and the Philippines, the pro-ISIS group could try to gain entry into the country.

Nevertheless, he believed that there is no need to declare an emergency status over the matter. He was optimistic that the TNI and community have implemented adequate anticipatory measures.

Wiranto had earlier revealed that the Indonesian military is ready to help the Philippines attack the base of the pro-ISIS group in Marawi.

The TNI will ally with the military of several countries: Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and the Philippines.

The Philippine government has invited Indonesia and Malaysia to combat terrorism. The Philippines has responded positively to Indonesias willingness to play a role in resolving the conflict in Marawi, Mindanao.(*)
