Firearms, Narcotics, Porn VCDs Found at South Jakarta School; DPR Member Demands Thorough Investigation

Member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), TB Hasanuddin, has urged law enforcement officials to conduct a thorough investigation into the discovery of 995 firearms, narcotics, and pornographic VCDs at a private school in South Jakarta. Hasanuddin highlighted the case as a very serious issue concerning national security and community safety. He stated that the possession of such a large quantity of firearms by civilians is not a normal occurrence and suggests violations of procedures. "A total of 995 firearms is not a small number. The possession of such a large number of weapons indicates that there are procedures that are suspected to have been violated, because it is impossible for someone to legally own weapons in such large quantities," Hasanuddin said in Jakarta on Friday. He further emphasized that the discovery of narcotics is also a suspected criminal act that must be processed seriously in accordance with applicable laws. "Firearms that fall into the hands of irresponsible parties can endanger the community and even threaten the security of the country. Likewise with narcotics, which must be investigated to find out the purpose of ownership and the network of circulation," he added. Hasanuddin also called on investigators to go beyond seizing evidence and to trace the origin of all firearms and narcotics, as well as identify the parties involved in their storage and possession. "The authorities need to find out where the firearms came from, how they could be stored in a school environment, where the narcotics were obtained, and who is responsible," he stated. Furthermore, he stressed that the foundation's managers and school officials must also be questioned to determine their knowledge or involvement in the existence of these items. "Of course it needs to be investigated whether the foundation's managers and school managers know the existence of these items. All facts must be opened transparently through the investigation and investigation process," Hasanuddin asserted. Previously, the discovery was made in a closed room at a private school in Pondok Pinang, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta. The lawyer for the private school foundation, Hermawanto, revealed on Thursday (6/8) at the South Jakarta Metro Police that on Friday (10/7), his party found 995 firearms, ammunition, and several other weapon accessories. Then, on Wednesday (5/8), his party found several more weapons, marijuana and methamphetamine drugs, as well as pornographic VCDs, leading them to contact the South Jakarta Metro Police.
