Polis Indonesia sah 98 kes kebakaran hutan libat pihak asing
Ketua Polis Negara Jeneral Suyudi Ario Seto berkata Badan Penyiasatan Jenayah sedang berusaha mengenal pasti bentuk penglibatan itu serta pihak yang bertanggungjawab.
Indonesia's police have confirmed involvement of foreign entities in 98 forest and land fire cases under investigation, with General Suyudi Ario Seto, the Head of National Police, stating that Bareskrim is working to determine the extent and responsible parties. Speaking to the media after a Cabinet meeting with President Prabowo Subianto in Jakarta on Monday, Seto said that while 98 corporate cases are being investigated, it's unclear whether the involvement of foreign investors or individuals will be confirmed.
The investigation is gathering evidence and is expected to name suspects, including company owners and shareholders, shortly. Meanwhile, Minister of Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Dudung Abdurachman, urges for immediate and continuous measures to suppress the fires without waiting for rain, emphasizing the need for large-scale, immediate and sustained action.
The President has ordered deployment of troops, police, Forestry Department personnel and the public to intensify the operation. Indonesia has also responded to foreign aid offers, including from Malaysia and Singapore, with the National Disaster Management Agency arranging technical preparations for their potential assistance. However, in a previous media briefing, Abdurachman stated that foreign aid should wait until the government declares the fires a national disaster, a step that hasn't been taken yet as Indonesia continues to attempt to control the crisis using its own resources.
