This is the utmost infamous thing about security quality in Indonesia. Everybody can pay the police or army to guard them while they are doing their activity. Is this the reflection of Welfare state theory? Security for sale?
I spent my long weekend in Puncak for attending an wedding anniversary of my family. The trip was so awful because, as ussual, there is always a long way to catch Puncak in public holiday or weekend. We stuck for several hours in the uphill street because of the traffic was so busy and full of private vehicles.
Then when we have to stopped by on one of restaurant near that place because of emerged natural calling, we were surprised by the police warning of the changed status of the uphill way to the Puncak. The street become one way only!!! Can you imagine how sick we was to hear that.
We are 15 km away only from the end of the trip and it was 10 pm. So, the restaurant which planned to close at that time, cancel the close notification and still opened. Fortunately, we only waited about 1 hours and then it was back to normal again.
Then on the next day, when we went back for home, I was surprised with the information from one of my family that the anniversary couple and his family was guarded by the Police during the trip. They paid about Rp 500.000 for the guardian service. Was it normal?
I mean, that was normal in Indonesia. Exclusively in Jakarta. As long as you are a tycoon, a related of high profile bureacrates, or you are the important person in Jakarta, you can even pay the army to make sure you are save from terrorist or cheap thief.
But, security service is one of our rights which is provided by the country, no matter who you are. This fact raise a question, how about me? Do I have no right to get the protection as high level as those important persons? And why do they have to behave as they need that high level protection? I mean, who will nail you and your daughters during the family occasion? And if that so, can you just call the police for help on the emerged situation than fill the street with troops as if the president and his family is going for a vacation to Puncak.
This is an reliable evidence of how corrupted the police in Indonesia. They sale security service to the tycoon as them and make a difference service to regular people who doesn't afford to pay them as much as the important persons did.
And the worst, it is affected to their profesionalism in charging criminal case. Even, the anti corruption slogans has campaigned in all this time, but looked like the culture to sale the authority is never stopped. But, some of us still asking, is it kind of corruption? If it is corruption, did it bring a loss to state finance? We need the proof, not just somekind of junk attack like lazy bugglers asking for justice upon them but they don't even give any attempt to change their life. So what do you think?
