    ISSUE: 2019 No. 61 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 13 August 2019 Tensions Among Indonesia’s Security Forces Underlying the May 2019 Riots in Jakarta Made Supriatma* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On May 21-22, riots broke out in Jakarta after the official results of the 2019 election were announced. These riots revealed a power struggle among retired generals and factional strife within the Indonesian armed forces that has developed since the 1990s. • The riots also highlighted the deep rivalry between the military and the police which had worsened in the post-Soeharto years. President Widodo is seen to favour the police taking centre-stage in upholding security while pushing the military towards a more professional role. Widodo will have to curb this police-military rivalry before it becomes a crisis for his government. • Retired generals associated with the political opposition are better organized than the retired generals within the administration, and this can become a serious cause of disturbance in Widodo’s second term. * Made Supriatma is Visiting Fellow in the Indonesia Studies Programme at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 61 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION The Indonesian election commission announced the official results of the 2019 election in the wee hours of 21 May 2019. Supporters of the losing candidate-pair, Prabowo Subianto and Sandiaga Uno, responded to the announcement with a rally a few hours later. The rally went on peacefully until the evening but did not show any sign of dispersing after the legal time limit for holding public demonstrations had passed.

Despite this encouraging rejuvenation of the ranks, the drive to professionalise the country’s military remains fragile. Commentary THE RECENT appointment of a new Commander-in-Chief for the Indonesian National Defence Forces (TNI) Admiral Agus Suhartono has been typically followed by a major reshuffle of the other ranks. From 17 November 2009 up to 18 October 2010, there were a total of 17 waves of personnel changes. These latest changes, however, not only placed officers from the Military Academy classes of 1976 to 1978 in charge of the TNI’s high command; they also highlighted the rapid promotion of officers from the 1980 to 1982 classes. Professionalising the Military The rapid rise of the 1980s generation officers is to overcome the shortage of high-ranking military officers to occupy top positions in TNI Headquarters and several civilian ministries.

  • Current Data on the Indonesian Military Elite
    CURRENT DATA ON THE INDONESIAN MILITARY ELITE (Prepared by the Editors) Periodically over the last fifteen years we have prepared lists of officers hold­ ing key positions in the hierarchy of the Indonesian Armed Forced to help readers keep abreast of current developments. (The last previous listing was in Indonesia, No. 33 [April 1982] which included changes through February 1982.) We have been able to do so because changes of personnel have typically been incremental, and because when a major organizational change took place, as in October 1969, the transformation occurred quickly and smoothly, without involving any drastic redis­ tribution of power or personnel. This is not the case with the recent reorganiza­ tion. The changes that got under practical way in March 1983 are unprecedented in their scope and complexity, and seem unlikely to run their full course before well into 1984. Essentially, they can be understood as involving two distinct, yet interrelated processes: (1) a generational shift which has virtually eliminated the "Generation of '45" from the Armed Forces' hierarchy; (2) the organizational rever­ berations of the separation of the functions of Minister of Defense and Security and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces mandated by Law 20/1982. Perhaps fortu­ nately for the editors, the evidence for the generational shift was largely complete as of the beginning of July 1983, and seems reasonably susceptible to preliminary analysis. On the other hand, although General S. Poniman and General L. B. "Benny" Murdani assumed on March 28, 1983 the twin top positions that had earlier always been held by a single officer, the division of authority and responsibility between them has yet to be resolved; and until it is resolved many billets remain either empty or held on a caretaker basis.

    Indonesian National Security News 7-13 February 2021 By Tangguh Chairil, Faculty Member of the Department of International Relations at Binus University Firsty Arelia, a student of the Department of International Relations at Binus University, contributed to this compilation. This article compiles news regarding Indonesia’s national security issues on 7–13 February 2021. It starts with news on main national security issues, i.e., the COVID-19 pandemic and events in the North Natuna Sea/South China Sea, then tells news on some national security areas, and finally news regarding domestic structures of national security in Indonesia. NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES Two main national security issues highlighted during this week include the COVID-19 pandemic and events in the North Natuna Sea/South China Sea. COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia continued with 63,693 new confirmed cases and 1,543 new deaths this week, amounting to a total of 1,210,703 cases and 32,936 deaths due to the disease. Active cases steadily decreased; however, it might have been caused by the decreasing number of tests performed. Positivity rate fluctuated between 20%–35%. Regarding the vaccination program, 283,230 more people had received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine while 278,279 more people had been fully vaccinated this week, amounting to a total of 1,060,326 people who had received the first dose and 415,486 people who had been fully vaccinated.

  • Power Politics and the Indonesian Military
    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:05 09 May 2016 Power Politics and the Indonesian Military Throughout the post-war history of Indonesia, the military has played a key role in the politics of the country and in imposing unity on a fragmentary state. The collapse of the authoritarian New Order government of President Suharto weakened the state, and the armed forces briefly lost their grip on control of the archipelago. Under President Megawati, however, the military has again begun to assert itself, and to reimpose its heavy hand on control of the state, most notably in the fracturing outer provinces. This book, based on extensive original research, examines the role of the military in Indonesian politics. It looks at the role of the military histori- cally, examines the different ways in which it is involved in politics, and considers how the role of the military might develop in what is still an uncertain future. Damien Kingsbury is Head of Philosophical, International and Political Studies and Senior Lecturer in International Development at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia. He is the author or editor of several books, including The Politics of Indonesia (Second Edition, 2002), South-East Asia: A Political Profile (2001) and Indonesia: The Uncertain Transition (2001). His main area of work is in political development, in particular in assertions of self-determination.

  • Getting the Indonesian Military out of Politics, 1998–2000
    BACK TO THE BARRACKS: GETTING THE INDONESIAN MILITARY OUT OF POLITICS, 1998–2000 SYNOPSIS In May 1998, Indonesia’s armed forces, which had marched in lockstep with the Suharto regime for more than three decades, were poised to begin a stunning about-face. Suharto, a former major general, had resigned when antigovernment protests rapidly escalated, and his departure opened the door for a small group of military leaders to implement reforms they had discussed quietly for years. Agus Widjojo, one of the officers, drafted a plan that would change the relationship between civilian government and the armed forces. His New Paradigm reform agenda called for eliminating the military from many aspects of politics and governance in which it had long played a dominant role. From 1998 to 2000, the military severed its ties with the ruling party, agreed to reduce its representation in the parliament, ordered active-duty officers to leave many posts in civilian government, and separated the police from the armed forces. The changes represented a major break with the past and set the stage for civilian-led reforms to enhance elected government’s control over military institutions and defense policy. Tristan Dreisbach drafted this case based on interviews conducted in Jakarta in March and April 2015. Case published August 2015. A companion case study, Cooperation and Conflict, examines the role of civilians in furthering Indonesian military reforms from 1999-2004. INTRODUCTION the parliament building, 14 ministers had “Nobody ever expected Suharto to resign,” suddenly resigned their posts, international recalled Agus Widjojo, a retired lieutenant general powers including the United States had stopped in the Indonesian military.

  • Current Data on the Indonesian Military Elite, April 2008-September
    Current Data on the Indonesian M ilitary Elite, April 2008-September 2013 The Editors Introduction This report identifies the mutasi jabatan, or reshuffles, of key positions within the Indonesian National Defense Forces (Tentara Nasional Indonesia, TNI) headquarters, and includes changes that have taken place within the army's central and regional commands between April 2008 and September 2013. The timeline for this update covers primarily the second term of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's administration. Two major developments are the focal point of analysis during this period. First, a simultaneous reshuffle of the armed services' chiefs of staff, which took place one month after the reelection of President Yudhoyono. Second, there were three different TNI commanders-in-chief (Panglima TNI) during this time and four of the army's chiefs of staff were replaced. Overall, Indonesia's military personnel reshuffles during this period indicate a smooth and organized leadership transition from the alumni of the classes of 1976-78 to younger officers from 1980s classes. In the following sections, we highlight key patterns evident in recent personnel reshuffles and provide an assessment of steps taken to professionalize the military by looking closely at military organizational development. Indonesia 98 (October 2014) 92 The Editors Timing and Patterns of Personnel Reshuffles Table 1 highlights the timing of Indonesia's military personnel reshuffles during the period of this listing, particularly those involving seventy-three strategic positions within TNI headquarters and army commands, which have had an impact on both central and regional command structures. This report identifies five major waves of personnel turnovers during the past five years—affecting approximately one hundred officers each time, and including some minor reshuffles for a number of key positions.

  • It's the Military, Stupid!
    It's the military, stupid! TAPOL paper. Presented at the International workshop Violence in Indonesia: Its historical roots and its contemporary manifestations Universiteit Leiden, 13-15 December 2000 The collapse of an authoritarian regime and the period of transition towards a more stable and formal democratic system can often take years and is often characterised with periods of much tension, turmoil and bloodshed. It is argued that countries with a relatively high GDP per capita will have a smoother road towards democracy while countries with a low GDP per capita will face a long and winding road. Examples on both ends of the spectrum: Portugal and Spain in contrast with the Democratic Republic of Congo (previously Zaire) and Nigeria. This paper is about the dominant role of the military in Indonesia in all aspects of life. The theme of the workshop: ‘Violence in Indonesia’, is quite a topical one and TNI, the Indonesian armed forces, play a central role around this theme. The paper is limited to the period of 1965 till the present day, or more precise the role of the TNI since the establishment of the Orde Baru (Orba), the New Order. Violence is one of the main and consistent features of Orba. The very foundation of Orba started with violence: the gruesome mass killings in 1965/66. The end of the New Order in May 1998 occurred also in a frenzy of violence.(1) Dominant role of TNI since the birth of the Indonesian Republic All the major bloody events since the Indonesian independence had a major military involvement and the innocent civilians became the prime victims.(2) Practically all the regional rebellions of the fifties:, the RMS proclamation of 1950, the PRRI and Permesta rebellion in 1958 and the various Darul Islam rebellions in Java and Sulawesi, the on-going problems in Aceh, all can be interpreted as conflicts between local and central government troops or sometimes conflicts between regular army and local laskars (militia units).
