Problematic landing station belonging to Malaysia's Sacofa in Natuna demolished
Indonesia on Tuesday began to demolish a landing station that Malaysian telecommunications infrastructure company Sacofa Sdn Bhd had built on Anambas Island, one of the Natuna islands in Riau Islands province.
The facility, which was built in 2002, was connected to a submarine cable the Indonesian Military (TNI) viewed as a security threat and a violation of Indonesian sovereignty.
The chief of the team sent to demolish the "Sarawak Gateway" landing station, First Adm. Semi Djoni Putra, said the facility violated a 1983 law that ratified an Indonesian-Malaysian agreement on laying submarine cables and a 1985 law that ratified the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
"The firm holds principle license, but their operations are illegal and do not contribute to our national interest. On May 4, we summoned them, asked them to dismantle [the landing station] but they did not respond," Semi said.
Heavy equipment destroyed a land facility that consisted of six rooms, namely a guard room, a store room, a battery room, an equipment room, a generator room and a diesel tank room.
Last month, TNI commander Gen. Gator Nurmantyo asserted Sacofa’s server and fiber optic cable infrastructure projects in the area must cease operations. The Foreign Ministry has said the 1982 agreement that was ratified in 1983 only allows Malaysia to build underwater facilities.
Anambas Information and Communications Agency head Jefrizal said he supported the move as residents had been questioning the existence of the Malaysian facility for years. Locals had been barred from entering the complex by foreigners who controlled the site.

PH, Malaysia, Indonesia to start joint patrols off Mindanao vs militants
SINGAPORE—Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia will launch joint patrols in waters off the Mindanao region this month to counter threats from Islamic State group militants, Malaysia’s defense minister said Saturday.
Hishammuddin Hussein made the comments at a security conference in Singapore as Philippine troops continued to battle self-styled Islamic State group gunmen who attacked the city of Marawi on Mindanao island nearly two weeks ago.
Hishammuddin said joint sea patrols in the waters bordering the three nations would kick off on June 19, with air patrols starting at a later date.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has declared martial law in Mindanao in response to the crisis, describing the attack on Marawi as the start of a major campaign by IS to establish a foothold in the Philippines.
Security analysts say IS is planning to establish a “province” in the southern island of Mindanao as part of its efforts to set up a caliphate in Southeast Asia.
“If you talk about Sulu Straits (it) … would involve Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines,” Hishammuddin told delegates to Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual security summit.
“So within Asean, we decided at least these three countries, to avoid being accused of doing nothing, the three of us took the initiative to have the joint patrol… initiatives in the Sulu Straits,” he added, referring to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Hishammuddin said Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore have carried out successful joint patrols in the Malacca Strait bordering their countries to fight maritime piracy.
Analysts have said the porous maritime borders between the three countries make it hard to detect the movement of militants.
Mindanao is “the primary area in the region where Islamist militant groups are still able to operate with some freedom of operation, run training camps, and conduct frequent attacks,” said Otso Iho, senior analyst at IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre (JTIC).
“This level of lawlessness and the fact that the space is difficult for government forces and institutions to effectively govern makes it the most likely place for a declaration,” he told Agence France-Presse.
“It’s also the location where the vast majority of Southeast Asian groups that have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State are based.”
Hishammuddin and other defence ministers who spoke at the conference also warned of the threat posed by returning Southeast Asian militants who are fighting with the IS in Iraq and Syria where the group is losing territory.
“This however then gives rise to the disturbing prospect that the Asia-Pacific is now in DAESH’s crosshairs,” he said, using an alternative acronym for the group.
The threat is “real and multidimensional, whether from returning fighters, regional franchises or more disturbingly, from self-radicalized lone wolves,” he added.

Indonesia invites Singapore to join joint patrols in Sulu Sea, says Indonesian Defence Minister
SINGAPORE - Indonesia has invited Singapore to take part in joint sea patrols to fight maritime crime and terrorism in the Sulu Sea, said Indonesian Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu on Saturday (June 3).
Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines had agreed in May last year to conduct coordinated sea patrols and establish a hotline to combat piracy and kidnappings in waters bordering the three nations.
"We invite Singapore to join this platform," Mr Ryamizard told The Straits Times in an interview at an annual security summit at the Shangri-La Hotel.
Dozens of tourists, traders, fishermen and sailors have been kidnapped by the notorious Abu Sayyaf group in the waters surrounding the Philippines' Sulu archipelago, which include the Sulu Sea and the northern limit of the Celebes Sea.
The joint trilateral maritime patrols, slated to begin soon, are aimed at ensuring safety in these waters.
Speaking through a translator, Mr Ryamizard said Indonesia has explored some "potential involvement of Singapore to join this effort", and that there is a "high possibility" of Singapore doing so.
Singapore has previously welcomed the efforts by Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines to deal with maritime terrorism and kidnapping incidents in their waters.
The Republic has offered the assistance of the Information Fusion Centre in Changi Naval Base, which provides maritime data.
Mr Ryamizard, who will speak at a plenary session at the Shangri-La Dialogue on Sunday, also requested other countries such as Thailand to join the effort.
"So it will become not only a trilateral engagement, but a four or five-lateral arrangement," he said.
Turning to the threat of terrorism, Mr Ryamizard noted that Indonesia, with its majority-Muslim population, is vulnerable to its people being radicalised by terror groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The country has been hit by a spate of terror attacks in recent years, including twin suicide bombings at the Kampung Melayu bus terminal in East Jakarta on May 24 which killed three Indonesian police officers and injured 10 others.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks two days later, with one of the bombers understood to have links to militants in Poso.
While the total number of radicalised groups in Indonesia is "not so significant" - about 700 - Indonesia has to anticipate and take precautions to counter radical ideologies, Mr Ryamizard said.
"We have to protect their mindsets," he said, adding that the way to do so is to counter radical ideology with true Islamic teachings, which are more moderate.

Learning How To Prepare For The Future
One of the highlights for the students was to look closer to the Gripen system, from conceptual design and model based system engineering to see the fighter perform a flying test and meeting the pilot André (Bulan) Brännström.
Saab together with the Swedish Defence University educates Indonesian officers and engineers from the defence industry in strategic defence planning. The course is part of the scholarship gift that was handed over to the Indonesian President 2013.
During the last two weeks, 16 officers from the Indonesian Armed Forces, together with three engineers from the Indonesian defence industry have been studying triple helix, scenario development and technology forecasting.
The course is developed by the Defense University (Försvarshögskolan FHS) together with and Saab and showcases how the different entities work together in order to be better anticipate the future and develop the capabilities needed to meet threats and future challenges. The course, divided into three parts, started with an introductory week in Indonesia and is now concluding the second part, which has taken part in Sweden. The final and third part of the course will be in August in Indonesia.
Commander Stefan Silfverskiöld at the Defence University and responsible for the course. I am very impressed by our students. I fully agree with Brigadier General Johan Stjernfalk who visited the students at the Defence University on behalf of the Swedish Defence Minister Peter Hultqvist – we were totally blown away by the students’ presentations. We got insights from the bright students and one of the major success factors were the mix of officers from all branches together with industry representatives.
The participants are officers from the Indonesian Armed Forces Head Quarter, Navy, Air Force and the Army. In addition there are also participants from the Indonesian industry. They together make up a group that, besides from receiving the education, have also been given the opportunity to on sight see concrete examples of what the course aims to teach in the form of the end result such as Ground Base Air Defence, sensor and radars and also Gripen.
The executive course in strategic defence planning is part of Saabs ongoing educational program with Indonesia, where Saab together with Swedish Armed Forces and academia, delivers education to students and young professionals. The program focus on knowledge transfer but is also tailored for supporting Saab business opportunities in Indonesia. Saab Global Innovation is responsible for the ambitious program that includes guest lectures from Saab experts, master scholarships to students to study at a Swedish universities and executive courses focusing on the defence strategy planning, triple helix and innovation.

Yup, first revealed on IDEX 2013
Wait, so the addon armor is not made/produced by pindad? or they only assist PINDAD to design and build the armor?
>>> After some reading, found out that AT&F & Composhield arranged a JV company, Composhield A/S and market the armor solution for ANOA2. But looks like Anoa2 only adopt the bolt-on armor for now.

Sir, I dont know if Pindad can built these bolted on armor, but the research is made by Dutch-Denmark company.
I dont know if there is any technological transfer between the companies, but since ATF has access to Anoa blueprint and models, it is possible that Pindad can built them (by TOT).
