[00:00:01] Editorial Media Indonesia Monday to
[00:00:04] Friday at 07 AM Priority
[00:00:07] Indonesia Monday to Friday live at 0:30 PM.
[00:00:27] This is Telanjus at 7 Western Indonesian Time. I am Leonard after
[00:00:31] the discovery of an official residence in the Cijantung Army housing complex,
[00:00:35] East Jakarta, which was used as
[00:00:38] an online gambling headquarters, 11 civilians
[00:00:42] were arrested. Deputy Chairman of Commission 1 of the DPRRI, Dave Laksono,
[00:00:45] highlighted the misuse of the house, an official facility belonging to the TNI
[00:00:48] Army, which is suspected of being an online
[00:00:51] gambling den.
[00:00:54] Dev Laksono appreciated the initial steps taken by the TNI, especially the military
[00:00:57] police, who have taken
[00:01:00] action. Dave urged that a thorough investigation be carried out
[00:01:03] to uncover the parties involved in
[00:01:06] the illegal activity. The DPR emphasized
[00:01:10] placed in the larger that the investigation should not stop at action on
[00:01:13] the site. The authorities must dismantle the network involved,
[00:01:16] trace the flow of funds, and examine the related parties, both from
[00:01:20] the TNI and civilian elements. According to Dev
[00:01:23] Laksono, state facilities that are built with public money
[00:01:26] should not be misused for criminal activities.
[00:01:30] In fact, official residences are official facilities, not
[00:01:34] personal assets that can
[00:01:36] officials, and be freely rented out. Army Chief of Staff, General TNI Maruli Simanjuntak, also emphasized
[00:01:40] that he would not protect soldiers who are proven to be involved in online gambling
[00:01:44] practices.
[00:01:48] It can be dismantled, who they
[00:01:52] are, where the money flows, and there is also a thorough investigation
[00:01:55] into all agencies,
[00:01:59] both TNI and civilian. There should not be any more state facilities
[00:02:03] that are built with public money
[00:02:06] used by other parties for
[00:02:09] criminal activities. Those who rent
[00:02:13] out the place, they probably know. We have already arrested
[00:02:17] them and they are in the police station. We are still investigating
[00:02:20] to confirm but what is clear
[00:02:23] is that we would not protect such people. This is precisely
[00:02:27] a very shameful thing for us. Yes, and and
[00:02:31] actually also the response from that
[00:02:34] is because it's a complex for retirees, right? There
[00:02:38] are also some who are active so they were raided by
[00:02:41] themselves, right? I think, if
[00:02:45] the surrounding community also feels safe, I think that's good, right?
[00:02:48] So the headline news for now. You can watch the next headline news
[00:02:52] one hour from now. I am Leon Samosir, thank you and see
[00:02:58] why, in my opinion, what you
[00:03:08] Controversy explores opinions in a dialectical
[00:03:11] event that presents the best of two
[00:03:14] different directions, heated in the competition of thoughts,
[00:03:18] argumentative in defending views. Who
[00:03:21] is the most successful in gaining trust? You
[00:03:24] decide. The debate is direct and to the point.
[00:03:27] Controversy every Thursday at 9 PM
[00:03:31] only on Metro TV. Amidst global
[00:03:35] economic challenges and uncertainties, the pulse of the national economy continues
[00:03:38] to move. What are Indonesia's economic notes? Our aspiration
[00:03:42] next year is 6% economic growth. The state budget
[00:03:46] fosters, the state budget protects, and
[00:03:49] a credible state budget. 2 years
[00:03:53] of Prabowo-Gibran, fiscal optimization and Nusantara innovation
[00:03:56] towards 6% economic growth. Monday,
[00:04:00] October 12, 7 PM.
[00:04:13] Good morning, viewers. The state provides official residences so that soldiers
[00:04:17] can live decently and rest after fulfilling
[00:04:20] their duties. These facilities must, of course,
[00:04:24] be used in accordance with their purpose, not for
[00:04:27] illegal activities. Indeed. when an official
[00:04:31] residence is used as an online gambling headquarters in
[00:04:34] the Army housing complex or KPAD Cijantung, East
[00:04:38] Jakarta, the house was transformed into an online gambling operation center with
[00:04:41] 32 computers and 14 cell phones.
[00:04:45] Viewers, this is Editorial Media Indonesia today, Monday, October 12,
[00:04:48] 2026, with the theme Never Give Up Fighting Online Gambling, with
[00:04:52] me, Leonard Samosir. You can all also express your opinion later by
[00:04:56] calling 0215839.
[00:05:00] 900 viewers, this morning, a member of the editorial board of Media Group Suryo Pratomo, Mas Tomi, is here with me. Good
[00:05:08] In the context of online gambling,
[00:05:12] but the question is, Mas Tomi,
[00:05:16] is it true that it became an online gambling headquarters
[00:05:20] in one of the official residences of an Army
[00:05:23] officer because it was targeted by the network so that
[00:05:27] it would be "safe" because people probably wouldn't think that there were
[00:05:30] criminals hiding in the den or headquarters of law
[00:05:34] enforcement, or was it just a coincidence? What does
[00:05:38] Media Indonesia want to convey this morning, Mas? The first is
[00:05:42] of course about the title, Leo. This title has actually been a long-standing
[00:05:46] problem that has
[00:05:48] emerged and been complained about, and
[00:05:52] then efforts to eradicate online gambling have been so
[00:05:56] intense that even when President Prabowo Subianto was
[00:05:59] newly inaugurated, his first order to the police chief
[00:06:03] was to eradicate online gambling. What is the problem with online gambling,
[00:06:06] Leo, is that it truly
[00:06:10] destroys morals, right?
[00:06:13] Because then it seems
[00:06:17] that people are desperate, so people gamble
[00:06:20] with the hope of becoming rich, but actually
[00:06:24] it will become a destructive disease, and
[00:06:28] the fact is that online gambling and gambling
[00:06:31] are destructive and will eventually destroy. No one has ever become rich
[00:06:35] from gambling. Now the second thing is what was said
[00:06:38] earlier, the problem now
[00:06:42] is that it happened in law enforcement
[00:06:45] agencies, right? Defense
[00:06:49] it even happened in law enforcement
[00:06:52] agencies, and it's so massive and extraordinary.
[00:06:55] What's even more is that, in my opinion,
[00:06:59] the destructive impact of online gambling is that so many
[00:07:03] Indonesians are trapped, and then they
[00:07:06] live in the Indochina region, whether it's
[00:07:09] Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar,
[00:07:13] they are trapped. And then they become
[00:07:16] slaves, and then they are
[00:07:18] held hostage, and then
[00:07:22] they don't get decent facilities as human beings.
[00:07:25] Friends at the Indonesian Embassy in the Indochina region face
[00:07:29] that problem. They almost every week have to
[00:07:32] repatriate those people to Indonesia because
[00:07:36] they can't stand it anymore, although many of them
[00:07:39] relapse and go back there.
[00:07:51] the place, a military officer's official residence, as Leo
[00:07:54] said, which made the Army Chief of Staff, General Maruli Simanjuntak, so
[00:07:58] furious, because again, what
[00:08:01] is the strength of the TNI?
[00:08:04] First, good discipline, second,
[00:08:08] chivalry, and third, honesty. Now, if
[00:08:11] something like this happens, then discipline
[00:08:14] is destroyed, right?
[00:08:17] And then chivalry also does not
[00:08:20] grow, and then the problem of honesty can
[00:08:24] collapse the large house of the TNI. This is why
[00:08:27] the Army Chief of Staff is so harsh and
[00:08:31] promises to resolve this problem. How can we
[00:08:35] stop this massive spread?
[00:08:38] This is already very infiltrative. Mas Tomi, we will discuss it in
[00:08:42] Editorial Media Indonesia for today, Monday, October 12, 2026,
[00:08:46] Never Give Up Fighting Online Gambling.
[00:08:59] Never Give Up Fighting Online Gambling.
[00:09:20] The state provides official residences so that soldiers can live decently and
[00:09:24] rest after fulfilling their duties.
[00:09:27] These facilities must, of course, be used in accordance with
[00:09:31] their purpose, not for illegal
[00:09:34] activities. Therefore, it is truly ironic
[00:09:37] when an official residence is used as an online gambling headquarters
[00:09:41] or judol. That's what was revealed in the house of Intel
[00:09:44] Satuan Komando Garnisun Tetap or Gartap 1
[00:09:48] Jakarta LED Call Infantry Arman in
[00:09:51] the Army housing complex KPD Cijantung, East
[00:09:55] Jakarta. The house was transformed into an online
[00:09:58] gambling operation center with 32 computers and 14 cell
[00:10:02] phones. All devices have now been seized by
[00:10:05] Pom Dam Jaya. The misuse of state facilities
[00:10:09] injures the sense of justice of the public, who are
[00:10:12] struggling with economic hardship. This irony
[00:10:16] is even more heartbreaking because the government
[00:10:19] is actively fighting online gambling. President Prabowo
[00:10:22] Subianto has repeatedly asked for stronger eradication efforts,
[00:10:25] not just cracking down on sites and applications, but also
[00:10:29] tracing payment gateways and the flow of money that
[00:10:32] supports them. Online gambling has ruined the lives
[00:10:35] of many people and plunged many families into debt.
[00:10:38] However, it seems that there are still people who go
[00:10:42] against orders to fulfill personal
[00:10:45] desires. We
[00:10:48] appreciate the Army's move to detain Lieutenant Colonel
[00:10:52] Infantry Arman. However, "Don't
[00:10:55] stop there. The investigation must be
[00:10:58] professional, thorough, and transparent to maintain
[00:11:02] public trust in the TNI.
[00:11:06] How can an activity with dozens of computers take place in a military
[00:11:10] official residence without being detected?
[00:11:13] Why was the activity only revealed after residents conducted
[00:11:16] a raid on Sunday, October 4 last year? These questions
[00:11:20] must not be ignored.
[00:11:23] The TNI must evaluate the surveillance.
[00:11:55] and evidence to the public only. As many as
[00:11:58] 11 civilians, six men and five women, have been
[00:12:01] taken from the location. The investigation must reach all
[00:12:05] operational chains, parties who control or
[00:12:08] facilitate the flow of funds, up to whoever
[00:12:11] enjoys the profits. Don't just stop at field
[00:12:15] operators. The Ministry of Communication and Digital
[00:12:18] recorded more than 2 million gambling content handled throughout
[00:12:21] 2025. This figure shows the magnitude
[00:12:25] of eradication efforts and also reminds
[00:12:29] that online gambling has not yet been The discovery of an online gambling headquarters in a TNI
[00:12:32] official residence proves that there are still
[00:12:35] gaps that need to be addressed and holes that need to
[00:12:38] be plugged. If the residents of KPAD Cijantung had not detected
[00:12:42] the anomaly, the illegal activity might still
[00:12:45] be operating. The eradication of online gambling must be consistent,
[00:12:48] thorough, and without discrimination. There should be no
[00:12:52] safe haven for such illicit businesses. Especially in state
[00:12:56] facilities. The state must never give up fighting online gambling.
[00:13:12] In the following section, you can also express your opinion. Viewers, for now, please stay
[00:13:16] with
[00:13:16] us.
[00:16:13] Thank you for staying with us, and now we will hear Mas Tomi's opinion from
[00:16:16] Metro TV viewers. This time, we have
[00:16:27] your opinion,
[00:16:30] Pak, that we must never give up fighting online gambling, that is truly very
[00:16:33] true, that even the state must
[00:16:36] not lose in eradicating things
[00:16:39] that are not right, including crime.
[00:16:43] So a minister, if their rundown is made, the
[00:16:46] first day, they must inventory
[00:16:50] what is not right in the field
[00:16:53] they have to handle. The second day is how
[00:16:56] to develop things that need to be developed, which have been
[00:17:00] considered right so far. So there are two agendas: tidying up things
[00:17:03] that are not right, and developing things that are already right.
[00:17:07] So, don't be a minister in your department and then
[00:17:10] just be clueless, like entering a jungle,
[00:17:13] not knowing what to do, so that
[00:17:17] after the people find out that there are irregularities, they say,
[00:17:21] "Oh, it's just discovered." Oh my
[00:17:24] God, Bang Tomi, do ministers have to
[00:17:28] be taught by the people? Right?
[00:17:30] They are educated people who know how to
[00:17:34] manage something, right? So I'll repeat
[00:17:38] again, the first day is to inventory
[00:17:41] what needs to be fixed from what is wrong. The second
[00:17:45] day is how to develop things that are already right. That's all I have to say.
[00:17:49] I don't understand yet. In the
[00:17:52] context of fighting online gambling, how is it, Mr. Sunoto?
[00:17:55] Oh yes, so, we have to find out. This is a
[00:17:59] problem, right? Problems and issues are different.
[00:18:02] A problem is a deviation that needs to have its cause known.
[00:18:06] Once the cause is known, it is handled
[00:18:09] completely. Thank you.
[00:18:13] Thank you, Mr. Sunoto, in Cirebon, West Java. Good morning, sir. If the
[00:18:16] problem is known, how is it handled, Mas Tomi?
[00:18:19] Do we all know where the problem is with online gambling,
[00:18:22] but it seems that instead of being
[00:18:26] suppressed, the networks are getting weirder.
[00:18:30] How is it, Mas? Yes, because we are half-hearted
[00:18:33] in doing it. That's
[00:18:36] we are facing now deserves to be called
[00:18:39] an online gambling emergency, because it affects
[00:18:42] institutions, right?
[00:18:45] Even if it's an individual, it tarnishes the name of the institution.
[00:18:49] Again, the TNI, which, in my opinion, as I
[00:18:53] said earlier, its pillars are discipline, the second
[00:18:56] is chivalry, the third is honesty. These
[00:19:00] are inherent in a TNI soldier, and they know what
[00:19:03] can and cannot be done. Especially when it happens
[00:19:07] in an institutional facility. Imagine
[00:19:11] again, as I said earlier, how angry
[00:19:15] the Chief of Staff was, and he asked for action,
[00:19:19] and what needs to be done, again, this is actually the tip of the
[00:19:22] iceberg, and what is below is an extraordinary network.
[00:19:26] The biggest problem we are facing now as a nation
[00:19:30] is that people's lives are
[00:19:32] entangled by two or three things. Number one is
[00:19:35] online gambling, second is
[00:19:38] online loans, third is drugs, right? Again, this
[00:19:41] case is so rampant,
[00:19:44] right? Not long ago, there was a raid
[00:19:48] in Hayam Wuruk, right? In Gajah Mada,
[00:19:52] imagine, there were hundreds of foreign nationals
[00:19:55] working, operating online
[00:19:57] gambling in Indonesia. Why? Because
[00:20:01] they know that Indonesia is once
[00:20:04] again a big market for.
[00:20:16] We do not close it. What was said earlier by
[00:20:19] Mr. Sunoto, right? Imagine this
[00:20:23] happening in the midst of an army
[00:20:25] complex, right? And again,
[00:20:29] the army complex, their lives are
[00:20:32] egalitarian, almost the same. What happens to
[00:20:36] their neighbors is definitely known by other neighbors, and that
[00:20:39] is why this case was revealed. There were people
[00:20:43] going back and forth, 32 people going back and forth into that
[00:20:46] house, into the complex, which has been
[00:20:50] sterile, right? People cannot go
[00:20:54] in and out freely without having identification. But again,
[00:20:57] it means that online gambling has
[00:21:00] infiltrated and is now affecting a point that, in my opinion,
[00:21:04] is very, very dangerous for
[00:21:08] our existence as a nation. Therefore, it's an online gambling emergency,
[00:21:11] and it must be eradicated completely. We actually want
[00:21:15] to see what is it, a very
[00:21:19] harsh (response), right, Mas Tomi? In a short time,
[00:21:23] the Hayam Wuruk case that Mas Tomi mentioned earlier, from May this
[00:21:26] year, we still don't know how it will end.
[00:21:30] Will we just give up
[00:21:34] and wait for online gambling
[00:21:37] to get so strong that it grips us, and then
[00:21:40] we fight back, or can we fight back now? We'll discuss it in the next part with
[00:21:44] us, Editorial Media Indonesia, back
[00:21:46] soon.

[00:23:16] Definitely comfortable with rollover quota. Leftover quota doesn't know
[00:23:20] challenges.
[00:23:28] And global economic uncertainty, the pulse of the nation's economy
[00:23:32] continues to move. What are Indonesia's economic notes? Next
[00:23:35] year, economic growth will be 6%. The State Budget
[00:23:38] grows, the State Budget protects,
[00:23:41] and a credible State Budget. Two years of Prabowo

[00:24:20] Answer no, because many are jealous.
[00:24:24] Q&A today at 12
[00:24:26] PM. Good morning Indonesia every
[00:24:30] day live at 30
[00:24:32] AM.
[00:24:38] Thank you for still being with us, and we are at the end of our discussion this morning, Mas Sobi. If
[00:24:41] we look
[00:24:44] at various cases, sometimes I think online gambling
[00:24:47] seems impossible to eradicate. Or perhaps it has to
[00:24:51] affect all of us first, and then
[00:24:55] we all rise together, because usually, if
[00:24:59] we are far enough from an incident, we can only see, "Oh,
[00:25:02] that's how it is." Are we waiting for
[00:25:04] that or can
[00:25:08] we fight back without waiting for such a bad incident, Mas Tomi?
[00:25:11] Actually, the most important thing,
[00:25:14] if we look sociologically, is that
[00:25:17] people are faced with a level
[00:25:21] of despair, so then
[00:25:25] online gambling loans are a choice,
[00:25:28] even getting involved in drugs is a way to
[00:25:32] escape problems, even though the problems will never go
[00:25:35] anywhere, they will remain there. Therefore, again, the handling
[00:25:39] in my opinion is already, again, at
[00:25:43] an emergency level, because again, what is most
[00:25:46] affected is the moral and mental state
[00:25:50] of this nation, right? And what
[00:25:53] we are facing is actually an extraordinary international
[00:25:57] network. They can really monitor
[00:26:00] which areas are in despair
[00:26:03] but have extraordinary economic value,
[00:26:06] and Indonesia is indeed targeted,
[00:26:10] right? Because Indonesia is the 16th largest
[00:26:14] power in the world, and again, gambling
[00:26:17] is something that then becomes a choice
[00:26:21] to escape the problem earlier. Therefore,
[00:26:24] I hope that the new
[00:26:27] Police Chief, in my opinion, the steps taken by the new Police Chief
[00:26:31] to conduct arrests and pursuits
[00:26:35] of drug dealers are extraordinary, and the impact
[00:26:38] is extraordinary. Yes, the hope is that
[00:26:42] this will also be done for
[00:26:45] the problem of gambling and online gambling.
[00:26:47] In Police Chief
[00:26:50] Sutanto's time, when the Police Chief was firm
[00:26:54] against gambling and then
[00:26:57] uncovered gambling cases, gambling decreased, and the perpetrators
[00:27:00] were afraid. Yes, and again, with
[00:27:04] very firm law enforcement,
[00:27:07] right? Without compromise, and
[00:27:12] context of the challenges faced by this nation. Yes,
[00:27:16] we need productive people whose orientation
[00:27:19] is to bring a better Indonesia
[00:27:23] in a good way, not by justifying historical events, but in a good
[00:27:27] way, to become productive people. We want to become an industrial nation,
[00:27:30] we need productive people. Now, again, the eradication of
[00:27:33] online gambling is something very
[00:27:37] important, as important as us dealing with
[00:27:40] drugs, and also breaking the chain of
[00:27:44] online loans. If this is not
[00:27:47] resolved, then this nation will truly be
[00:27:50] corroded from its roots, and
[00:27:53] then we as a nation will easily collapse. Yes,
[00:27:57] so this must be our shared awareness
[00:28:01] that we cannot play
[00:28:04] around with this issue. This is truly at an emergency
[00:28:07] level. And then, again, the Hayam Wuruk case, those who
[00:28:11] used to play from outside, they are now playing in Indonesia, which is even
[00:28:15] more ironic. From playing in
[00:28:18] Indonesia, they entered places that we never
[00:28:22] suspected, because they were very sterile places.
[00:28:25] Well, we hope that what we convey here, Tomi also
[00:28:29] contributes real efforts to fight gambling. Tomi,
[00:28:33] thank you for being here, good morning. Viewers, the crackdown on
[00:28:36] online gambling must be consistent, comprehensive and impartial. There should be no safe haven
[00:28:40] for that illegal business, especially in state facilities. The state
[00:28:44] must not lose in fighting online gambling. I,
[00:28:46] Leon Sam, thank you for watching Media Indonesia 1's editorial this morning.
[00:28:50] Keep healthy, keep your conscience clear. Good morning
[00:28:54] and
[00:28:54] goodbye.
