“Economically, placement of active TNI members in civilian positions could spark resource inefficiency. That is due to the skills gap in the military, given that it is different from civilian , particularly in strategic decision-making,” he said. The government and the House of Representatives passed the controversial TNI Law revision last Thursday, which many feared would undermine civilian supremacy and result in democratic backsliding.
Protests also broke out in other cities including Yogyakarta, East Java capital Surabaya and South Sulawesi capital Makassar, as well as in Surakarta, the Central Java hometown of former president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo. Composed primarily of students and activists, the protesters called on the government to revoke the TNI Law revision.
