Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Chief Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Luhut Pandjaitan held a coordination meeting on Wednesday to discuss issues related to the expected security scenario in 2016.

"We have just finished the meeting on what we will do next year in the fields of de-radicalization, legislation, cyber crimes and other fields that concern security," the Coordinating Minister said at his office on Wednesday.

Luhut explained that the coordination meeting discussed about 20 different fields but did not give details about these areas.

"These discussions will form the agenda for our programs in 2016. We also discussed security issues which we will continue to monitor in the future," the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, said.

Among those who attended the coordination meeting were Home Affairs Minister Tjahjo Kumolo, Jakarta Military Command Chief Maj. Gen. Teddy Lhaksamana, Communication and Informatics Minister Rudiantara, Deputy Foreign Minister AM Fachir, Attorney General HM Prasetyo, Immigration Director General Ronny F Sompie and representatives of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN).

On the occasion, Attorney General Prasetyo said the coordination meeting also discussed issues regarding gross human rights violations.

"We discussed ways to handle gross human rights violations. The meeting also discussed the implementation of death penalties for drug convicts in 2016. We should pay attention to this. The neighboring countries appreciate such an approach since narcotics abuse is our common enemy," said Prasetyo.(*)

Glad to see our police do their jobs, and have an adequate equipment to do their duty properly. Mumbai terror attack must be a clear example on how local police forces can't subdue the enemy because the lack of proper equipment, training, intelligent and tactics.

The History of the Indonesian Submarine Squadron
By Rear Adm. Agung Pramono, S.H., M. Hum
Indonesian Navy

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelagic state, comprising more than 17,000 islands and large areas of water linking them together as one unity and making Indonesia one of the most influential maritime nations. A strong national defense, achieved by reinforcing naval capabilities, is critical to defending Indonesian sovereignty and ensuring the stability of Indonesian territorial seas.

As a military institution that is responsible for defending the country, the Indonesian Navy requires human resources and weapons systems to bolster its function and to accomplish the mission. The Indonesian Navy has more than 140 warships of various types and classes, which are divided into two fleets and one military sealift command. The Eastern and Western Fleets are composed of several squadrons, including one submarine squadron in the Eastern Fleet.

Whiskey-class submarines

The Indonesian Navy has long experience in operating submarines. For a significant period in the 1960s and 1970s, Indonesia operated the most powerful submarine force in the Asia-Pacific region, excepting the Cold War superpowers: 12 Whiskey-class submarines, two torpedo retrievers, and one submarine tender, all purchased from the Soviet Union. By comparison, no other Southeast Asian nation possessed a submarine force of any size, and in 1967 the Royal Australian Navy had only six submarines, of the Oberon class.

The Indonesian Navy received its first submarine, KRI Tjakra (401), from the USSR on 12 September 1959. This first submarine was commanded by Commander O.P. Koesno. Its delivery was a milestone in the creation of the Indonesian Submarine Force, and 12 September was designated as the Indonesian Submarine Squadron Day to commemorate the date that the Indonesian Navy began operating these advanced war machines with both strategic value and deterrent effect.

During the 1960s, in the heyday of the Whiskey class, these superb underwater units were used to regain West Papua from Dutch colonial control. There were three submarine deployments during the military operation—called JAYA WIJAYA 1—against the Dutch forces in the West Papua. KRINagabanda (403), KRI Trisula (402), and KRI Tjandrasa (408) successfully launched an attack on the Dutch forces in the West Papua area; in operation TJAKRA II, Tjandrasa managed to infiltrate the enemy’s area to land a group of Indonesian Special Forces on the island. For the success of that operation, the Indonesian Government awarded Tjandrasa and her crew with the prestigious “Bintang Sakti” medal. To the present day, Tjandrasa is the only naval vessel to have been awarded the medal. In April 1963, in operation VISHNU MUKTI, KRl Nagarangsang (404), KRl Tjundamani (411), and KRIAlugoro (406) again conducted a ‘show of force’ in West Papua waters.

Thanks to those 12 submarines, the Indonesian Navy at that time was considered to be one of the most powerful naval forces in the Asia-Pacific region—making Indonesia a regional power and serving as a source of pride and self confidence for her people.

USS Oklahoma City (SSN 723)

The declining relationship between the Republic of Indonesia and the Soviet Union in 1965—resulting from Indonesian government action against the rebellion of the Indonesian Communist Party—led to a spare parts crisis in the Navy, which affected the submarines. To maintain an operational force, the Indonesian Navy decommissioned several submarines and used their parts to repair the remaining vessels. Since then, the number of the Navy’s submarines declined steadily. The last remainingWhiskey-class submarine, KRI Pasopati (410), was decommissioned on 25 January 1990 and now serves as a submarine museum in downtown Surabaya.

In 1978, prior to the decommissioning of Pasopati, Indonesia procured two Type 209/1300 submarines from West Germany—KRI Cakra (401) and KRI Nanggala (402)—to maintain the security of Indonesian territorial waters. These two German submarines have been overhauled several times in Germany, South Korea, and Indonesia.

As an archipelagic country with vast areas to cover, Indonesia requires a large number of naval vessels, including submarines, to maintain national security and sovereignty in and around its waters. Having learned from its previous experiences, the Indonesian Navy has planned to gradually increase the size of its submarine force in the years to come. To begin, it has ordered three Type 209/1500 submarines from South Korea. The Navy expects to restore the glory of its naval forces, including its submarine squadron.

if only our regular infantry unit using the second model (bottom pics), they will look great and give more protection around the neck, arms and torso. SAKTI and Marine model vest is great as they offered the soldiers with more flexibility in movements

Indonesia, Australia Intel Exchange Expected to Deter Terrorism

TEMPO CO, Jakarta - The exchange of intelligence officials between Indonesia and Australia is expected to deter terrorism in both countries, according to North Sumatra University (USU) lecturer Prof. Dr Suhnaidi.

"Terrorism should not be allowed to develop in Indonesia and Australia as it could disturb security in the two countries," the lecturer on international law stated on Thursday.

He noted that several terror acts that occurred of late are challenges not only to Indonesia and Australia but also to other countries in the world.

"Terror acts should not be allowed to occur regardless of how minor they are as such actions trigger unrest among the people. Terrorism must be eliminated," remarked Suhnaidi.

He affirmed that Indonesia should benefit from the cooperation between the two countries in the intelligence field.

"Indonesia should take into account this matter in its cooperation in the intelligence field with Australia to prevent dangerous acts of terrorism," he emphasized.

Suhnaidi pointed out that terror suspects intending to spread terror and commit unlawful acts were still at large in Indonesia. Fortunately, the police were able to foil their plans before they could commit acts of terror.

The group had also planned to conduct terrorist attacks at the end of 2015.

"The police and other apparatuses could fortunately anticipate the terrorist attacks in Indonesia," he stated.

National Police Chief General Badrodin Haiti confirmed on Wednesday that his men had arrested a suspected terrorist on the outskirts of eastern Jakarta in Bekasi earlier in the day.

"It is true that this morning we searched (the house of) one of the suspected terrorists who had planned to commit a terror act this month," he said after attending a coordination meeting at the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs' office.

As reported earlier, the National Police's Densus 88 counterterrorism squad had arrested a suspected terrorist identified by the initials AM in Bekasi.

AM is also believed to have links with suspected terrorists arrested in Sukaharjo, Central Java, and Tasikmalaya, West Java, on December 19-20.

"It is true they have links with the ISIS group in Syria," he remarked.

Haiti had earlier noted that the police had arrested nine suspected terrorists in the five districts of Cilacap, Tasikmalaya, Sukaharjo, Mojokerto, and Gresik on December 19-20. They are identified by the initials: R, YS, AR, ZA, MKH, TP, IM, JA, and AK.

"Some of them are former members of Jamaah Islamiyah, while others have links with the ISIS group," he claimed.

Haiti stated late last month that the police were informed of the planned terrorist attack.

"We also received information from the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Singapore Intelligence Service (SIS). We then monitored the groups suspected of committing terror attacks and are registered in our database," he added.

Indonesia sends warships to help look for 54 after boat sank

Rescuers on Wednesday recovered 16 more bodies from the weekend sinking of a passenger boat in Indonesian seas, and the navy was sending warships to join the search for 54 people still missing.

The Marina Baru, carrying 118 passengers and crewmen, sank in the Gulf of Bone on Saturday while on its way from Kolaka in Southeast Sulawesi province to Siwa town in South Sulawesi province. The fiberglass ferry reportedly was overwhelmed by waves more than 3 meters (10 feet) high during stormy weather.

Indonesian Search and Rescue Agency chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo said Wednesday the navy will dispatch warships to the area where nine ships and 15 fishing boats are already searching for the victims.

A helicopter and a CN-235 aircraft are searching from the air while soldiers and police were combing the coastline, Soelistyo said.

The head of the local disaster mitigation agency, Alamsyah, said Wednesday's discoveries brought the death toll to 23 while 54 other people were missing. Most of the 41 survivors were found Sunday.

The last recovered survivor was the boat's captain, who was found Monday snagged on a fishing platform, said Alamsyah, who uses a single name.

Twelve bodies were pulled out Wednesday by a ship of National Search and Rescue Agency, three by fishing boats and one by a Port Authority vessel, Alamsyah said.

Boats are a popular and relatively cheap form of transportation in the world's largest archipelago nation which spans more than 17,000 islands with a population of 256 million. Sea accidents are common, with boats often overcrowded and safety regulations poorly enforced. (dan)
