RI Must Face Confidence Malaysia

0 Comments |

Had the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries officers have a level of confidence (the de) and the insistence on high policy officials Marin Kings Malaysia, especially in the areas of courage to claim sovereignty, border regions may be an incident last August 13 grooved story would be different.

Instead of three officers Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (NOA) which digelandang, handcuffed, and jailed with a uniform kind of criminal detainees and imprisoned by police in Malaysia, which then triggered a public outcry Indonesia, it is not impossible that happened just the opposite; the officer-NOA is a "triumph" bring home the "big catch".

Large catches of at least five ships complete with nine fishermen fish thief neighbor country of origin and also had not forgotten a number of policy officers Marin Kings Malaysia (PMDM), a reckless enter territorial waters (the claim) belong to Indonesia and worse with even want to act arrogant disrupt and attack the patrol CTF.

With a storyline like that, an impression certainly far more heroic than it seemed to happen now. Though of course still affect equally the two countries sparked tensions in border dispute issue.

But, unfortunately, heroic story line nan had ascertained impossible, especially because some silly nan fatal omission made by the officers themselves CTF.

The first omission, since the beginning of NOA officers apparently did not know the patrol equipment and supplies to prepare them well, especially global positioning system equipment (GPS), which became vital tools in determining the coordinates of the ship's position is then used as a claim for anyone who was in the territory.

In fact, preparation and checking of equipment and other equipment before the patrol was standard procedure in any operation. Do not be surprised when the incident occurred, officials impressed NOA AWU and not lose confidence that their claim is true and Malaysian fishermen and the police had violated the sovereign territory of Indonesia.

Not just a matter of equipment, negligence of others who also do no less fatal CTF officials occurred shortly before the patrol, they do not coordinate with other agencies kinds of Water and Air Police (Polairud) Police, Army Navy, or even the Maritime Security Coordination Agency ( Bakorkamla) mentioned the forerunner to the Coast Guard agencies (Coast Guard), Indonesia.

As a result, they move there alone without the support of reinforcements, which at any time ready to glide give aid in emergency situations. The fact it is very unfortunate.

No less than Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Djoko Suyanto himself criticized the fact that as conveyed in a press conference held after a coordination meeting with the ministers under its coordination, last week.

Also present at the coordination meeting were Minister of Foreign Affairs Marty Natalegawa, Minister NOA Fadel Muhammad, the Armed Forces Commander General (TNI) Djoko Santoso, Chief of Staff of Army Navy (KSAL) Rear Admiral (TNI) Agus Suhartono, and Chief Executive Bakorkamla Rear Admiral (TNI ) Y Didik Heru Purnomo.

"In patrol, interdepartmental coordination should always be done. At least just to share information. Do not let happen every agency runs its own or even doing the same thing in one area and at the same time. Bakorkamla've made it a matter of standard procedure. But, unfortunately, in its implementation in the field are often unsuitable, "said Djoko.

Also leveled similar regrets the Director General of Law and International Treaties Ministry of Foreign Affairs accompanies Havaz Oegroseno when Marty Natalegawa attend a hearing and the Commission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs I. He alluded, should the officers in the field could better comply with the applicable standard operating procedures.

"The mechanism of coordination, right, has been prepared and determined Bakorkamla. So, if you want to patrol, they should inform each other. Besides, if he says they've run a standard procedure, how can that GPS devices can not be used because the battery is empty? Mbok yes, before the patrol to buy a battery dahululah or ya just use the existing GPS in mobile phones. Almost all of today's existing mobile phone technology (features) of his GPS, "Havaz said sarcastically.

Havaz added, when the fishermen Malaysia arrests, officers also made the mistake of procedural NOA no less fatal. They move the seven of a total of nine fishermen Malaysian patrol boats to the deck of the Dolphin 015, which when it was only manned by two officers CTF, while three other officers went up to five fishing boats, which they planned to seize and bring it to Batam.

"According to procedure, should not happen in a place that captures the number of officers outnumbered by the number of people they arrest. If like that, his name is endangering themselves. They should understand such a standard procedure. Add more, if indeed they felt confident when the incident is true, yes it's face it PMDM patrol. Do not even running away from his friends digelandang to Malaysia, "said Havaz deplores.

Still, like the saying goes, rice has become porridge. Hence the third officer's NOA digelandang and arrested the Malaysian side and was forced to experience the unpleasant treatment, which then sparked public outrage in Indonesia.

Malaysia's three mistakes

Moreover, as Foreign Minister Marty delivered a number of occasions, Malaysia recorded doing three errors in the incident that occurred just four days before the anniversary of Indonesia's independence. The first and second error, the entry of Malaysian fishermen and PMDM to patrol the territorial waters claimed by Indonesia, while the third error is the arrest of three Indonesian CTF by patrol officers PMDM and possible violence against them, both when he was arrested and detained in prison when the Malaysian police.

Government coordination meeting of the Politics and Security Affairs Ministry issued three recommendations so that similar incidents do not recur again in future. The third recommendation is to increase the supervision and coordination of maritime security by all stakeholders, ranging from the Navy, Polairud, NOA, Customs and Excise, KPLP, and Bakorkamla.

It also sought an increase of more in-depth understanding of the regional border operations, particularly for areas that are still in the process of dispute or negotiation, to the level of officials and officers in the field.

The third recommendation, the acceleration of the process of border negotiations with other countries.

Related to the second recommendation, a number of parties has also highlighted this as one of the main weaknesses. The officers in the field do not understand the development status of the disputed territory since the process of negotiations at the central level or above are not official until the information to those in the field and operational levels.

Lecturer of International Relations Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Indonesia, Andi Widjojanto, asserted, the Malaysian side as long as it's known to never hesitate to claim and determine unilaterally its territorial area (unilateral). It actually occurred from the top level until their officers in the field.

Unfortunately, the same thing, according to Andi, Indonesian authorities did not do that often in doubt. In fact, if you want to emulate Malaysia, it's better just prior claims and other issues taken care of later. Probably not too many officials because the de, as in the case of CTF before, they did not prepare myself with the best equipment and knowledge required prior to the field.
