00:03:24let alone some changes that
00:03:58passengers of the Virgo Transport 8 ship has officially been extended for
00:04:02the next while, amidst the search process, a number of allegations related to the capsizing of the Virgo ship
00:04:06have begun to emerge, starting from the absence of
00:04:09warning alarms when the ship began to list to the ship's design which
00:04:12was considered not designed for long journeys.
00:04:15The review is the main topic of today's news with me, Angya
00:04:18Sibuan. We start the news with
00:04:21Parmflash.
00:04:27On the 8th day of the search for KM Virgo Sport 8 passengers, the
00:04:30team successfully evacuated one body at the initial
00:04:34coordinate point around the capsized ship. As of
00:04:37now, a total of 118 passengers have been evacuated, with 10 of
00:04:40them dead and 125 others still missing.
00:04:53we get the latest data reported Haze from forest fires has begun to affect the health of residents in Berau
00:04:57Regency, East Kalimantan. The Health Office recorded more than
00:05:005 cases of ARI, while air quality was in the very
00:05:04unhealthy
00:05:04category.
00:05:13ATR BPN Minister Nusron Wahid resigned from the Golkar Party
00:05:16management. Nusron, who is a minister in the Red and White cabinet from this party,
00:05:20previously served as the head of the religious and
00:05:24spiritual affairs division of the Golkar Party DPP. Golkar Secretary General
00:05:27Sarmuji explained that Nusron's resignation from Golkar was more than
00:05:316 months ago, but Nusron's resignation was revealed to the public amid
00:05:35allegations of corruption in the Ministry he leads.
00:05:38The
00:05:488th day of the search for KM Virgo Transport 8 yielded results. The
00:05:52joint SAR team found and evacuated one passenger's
00:05:55body, bringing the total to 118 victims evacuated.
00:06:12Viewers, these are the moments of evacuation of victims from
00:06:15KM Virgo Transport 8, which capsized in the Java Sea waters on Sunday
00:06:19afternoon.
00:06:23At around 3:20 PM Central Indonesian Time, the joint SAR team found
00:06:26one body near the coordinates of the
00:06:29ship's sinking.
00:06:31The body was then evacuated to KN Sar Kamal Jaya
00:06:35104 belonging to
00:06:36Basarnas.
00:06:43The body was then transported by Basarnas helicopter to
00:06:46Bayangkara Hospital Banjarmasin for
00:06:49identification. With this latest finding,
00:06:53a total of 118 victims have been evacuated, consisting of
00:06:56108 survivors and 10 deceased.
00:07:00125 other victims are still
00:07:02being searched for.
00:07:20Entering the 8th day of the search for KM Virgo Transport 8 in
00:07:24the Java Sea, the victims' families are still waiting, while the East Java Police
00:07:27Antemortem Post continues to collect data and DNA samples.
00:07:31This waiting period is also felt by Giono, the brother of Agus Ribut Setyo
00:07:34Budhi, one of the victims of KM Virgo from Malang, East
00:07:38Java. Agus is known to have been on
00:07:40KM Virgo Transport. This data
00:07:51discrepancy makes
00:07:54Giona confused, especially regarding the search process and the family's
00:07:57rights.
00:08:03If it's in the manifest, there's a plate number but no
00:08:06name, the one that's there is Rido. But all the
00:08:10tickets are complete, all the tickets are complete in the name of...
00:08:13What do you think about this, sir? It's not in the manifest, sir. Yes,
00:08:17that's what makes me confused, what about
00:08:19it later? We need help from related
00:08:23parties, right? Because we are just ordinary people, we don't understand
00:08:26legal issues, we don't understand that, but we ask for help
00:08:30and assistance from related parties to fight for
00:08:33our rights as
00:08:34consumers.
00:08:39At the East Java Police Antemortem Post at Tanjung Perak Port
00:08:43Surabaya, officers continue to collect data to identify
00:08:46victims. To date, 82 antemortem data
00:08:50and 46 DNA samples have been collected from families.
00:08:53Officers prioritize families who have blood ties with the victims with the
00:08:57appropriate lineage. This data and samples are then
00:09:00integrated with data from other
00:09:02regions.
00:09:09There are 82 data.
00:09:14Then, uh, the
00:09:16samples that we have received, uh, we have taken
00:09:2040 DNA samples,
00:09:24right, sir? No, not swabs, oh, not swabs,
00:09:28not swabs.
00:09:30Basarnas officially extended the search operation for the victims of the Virgo
00:09:34Transport 8 ship for the next 7 days. For complete information, Insan
00:09:38Suwardi and cameraman Dani Wijayanto have joined us from
00:09:41Trisakti Port, Banjarmasin. Insan, good afternoon, what
00:09:44is the SAR operation plan for today? Have
00:09:48any more victims been
00:09:50found?
00:09:52Yes, Anggi, if we report it now, we have moved to Bayangkara Hospital
00:09:56in Banjarmasin, where, if we follow,
00:09:59one body has been successfully secured or
00:10:03evacuated by Finsar. If
00:10:06that at 2:14 PM Central Indonesian
00:10:09Time, the Basarnas Special Group or BS
00:10:12has successfully recovered one victim, a passenger of the Virgo
00:10:16Transport 8 ship that ran aground in the Java
00:10:19Sea waters. If we also look, the development was so fast,
00:10:23the body was immediately handled and transported by
00:10:27HR-3601 helicopter, which at
00:10:315:30 PM Central Indonesian Time
00:10:35had successfully brought one deceased victim
00:10:39from the Kirigo Transport 8 ship, which we also monitored
00:10:42has entered the Bayangkara Hospital
00:10:45for identification with the TPI team. Well, if we also look
00:10:49at Anggi, this means that even though it has not been officially reported
00:10:52regarding the full identity of the one
00:10:56victim found, but if
00:10:59we follow along, it means that Basarnas last reported
00:11:03that around 126 people are still
00:11:06being searched for. With the discovery of one person who has
00:11:09been successfully brought ashore, it means that Basarnas
00:11:12has at least today successfully
00:11:16added one victim and will report that 125
00:11:19people are still being searched for. If we also follow,
00:11:23108 people 108 people have
00:11:26been successfully rescued
00:11:29and received medical treatment. Some of them have also chosen
00:11:33to return to their hometowns. If we also monitor throughout today from the search posts
00:11:37at Trisakti Port, we still see some of the victims'
00:11:41families still choosing to stay to continue updating
00:11:44the Basarnas team, the team from the company
00:11:47and also from the joint team to continue monitoring
00:11:51whether there is any information about the discovery of their family members
00:11:55who are still declared missing. Meanwhile, we tried to confirm with one of
00:11:58our colleagues who was on board the ship from Metro
00:12:01TV journalist Dimas Sairullah along with Fajar Fahreza, but we still have
00:12:05not received information for the process of starting the salvage
00:12:09operation or the operation to lift the ship's body,
00:12:12whether it has started or not. However, the Basarnas team provided us
00:12:16with information that the diving process continues
00:12:20from 10 AM local time. The diving team has
00:12:23successfully or continues to dive to search for potential victims
00:12:26who are still trapped in the ship's hull. Meanwhile, the family
00:12:30has asked the Basarnas team and the Virgo
00:12:33Shipping Company to expand the patrol area
00:12:37using both sea and air fleets, so that Basarnas
00:12:40is also committed to conducting searches not only in
00:12:44the LKP area or the location of the Virgo
00:12:47ship's sinking, but they also expand the potential for several
00:12:51sectors with the hope that some of the families who believe
00:12:55that their family members are still hoped to survive,
00:12:58because they mentioned there is information that some family members
00:13:02have successfully saved themselves with life jackets before
00:13:06the ship capsized, so they hope
00:13:10that the SAR team will continue to expand the patrol area
00:13:13using both air and sea fleets with the hope of
00:13:17evacuating all victims who are still declared missing until now.
00:13:21Meanwhile, the DVI team also mentioned that they hope
00:13:24that all family members who have a close
00:13:28relationship with the victims can report to help
00:13:31by providing videos and more complete identities so that the DVI
00:13:35police team will have more complete supporting data to carry
00:13:38out the identification process so that the identification
00:13:41of all victims can be reported accurately. Anggi,
00:13:45thank you for your
00:13:47report.
00:14:28TNI forces successfully arrested Abdon Kisamdu, one of
00:14:32the KKB Papua leaders, at Nop Goliat Dek Airport,
00:14:35Yahukimo, Highland Papua. Abdon
00:14:38Kisamdu was arrested while trying to buy firearms for
00:14:40his group.
00:16:25viewers, a mini cannabis garden was found in
00:16:28the yard of an ASN official's house in Celenyi, Bandung Regency, West
00:16:32Java. Police arrested AS after finding eight
00:16:35cannabis plants and dozens of
00:16:37ready-to-plant seeds. This case was revealed after the police received reports
00:16:41from the public regarding AS's alleged involvement in drug
00:16:44trafficking. Officers then followed AS from his workplace
00:16:48in Bandung to his residence. When
00:16:51searched, officers swept the backyard and found a mini
00:16:54cannabis cultivation garden. In addition to mature plants, the police also
00:16:58asked for dozens of ready-to-plant seeds. In
00:17:01the examination, AAS admitted to learning cultivation techniques autodidactically
00:17:04through social media since May last year.
00:17:07obtained from a colleague who is currently a DPO and delivered
00:17:11through an intermediary. AS argued that the cannabis was only for
00:17:15personal consumption, but he was still charged with the
00:17:18narcotics law with a maximum sentence of 20 years
00:17:20in prison.
00:17:24Approximately eight
00:17:26cannabis plants, approximately
00:17:304 and a half months old, and
00:17:3328 cannabis plants that are still
00:17:36approximately a few weeks old. Then
00:17:40we asked for information from the person we were targeting,
00:17:44AS, 49 years old. The person
00:17:46concerned works as a civil servant at
00:17:50one of the offices in the public works department.
00:17:52The
00:17:55decile income of the community, which is the basis for determining social assistance
00:17:59recipients, has sparked a wave of protests. The People's Struggle Post (Pospera)
00:18:02believes that the decile data collection was done haphazardly
00:18:06and does not reflect the actual economic conditions of the residents.
00:18:09This was stated by the chairman of Pospera when opening the decile complaint
00:18:13post in the East Jakarta area. The complaints received will then
00:18:16be forwarded to several other regions in DKI Jakarta to gather
00:18:20residents' grievances and encourage improvement of decile data.
00:18:24Pospera states that the incorrect decile setting makes poor
00:18:27people actually recorded in a high decile. The arrangement
00:18:31is considered not careful in looking at the real conditions of the community
00:18:34starting from housing conditions, property ownership,
00:18:38then income, number of family members, to health conditions.
00:18:41As a result, families who should receive assistance are forced to be
00:18:45removed due to data discrepancies. Pospera believes that the complaint
00:18:48mechanism, which has to go through various levels of bureaucracy, actually
00:18:52complicates matters for the community.
00:18:57This decile is very wrong and very inappropriate,
00:19:00in fact, the data collection,
00:19:03in my opinion, is very wrong, why? those who
00:19:07are then classified as poor
00:19:10people, those who have nothing, their
00:19:14decile score is high, their
00:19:17decile score is high, it's actually reversed, and in my opinion,
00:19:20the government in this case,
00:19:23the state, has failed to
00:19:25map the
00:19:29economy of the community. Yon 462 Pasgad
00:19:32troops and the Mandala Cops TNI Habema task force arrested Abdon
00:19:36Kisamdu, one of the leaders.
00:20:07to TNI personnel, Abdon Kisamdu admitted to coming to DK
00:20:11Yahukimo to buy a number of firearms from someone for
00:20:14his group.
00:20:18We received information about the whereabouts
00:20:22of DPO Humabespori,
00:20:25so we secured the location at Noat
00:20:29Dekai Airport and had just landed from the Rigana
00:20:33R. Prax PKK YSC type B7378.
00:20:38After getting off, we then
00:20:40separated, focusing on the target, namely Abdon
00:20:44Kisamdu, and successfully
00:20:46arrested him. From
00:20:50a quick examination on the field, we obtained information
00:20:53that the person concerned was in the context
00:20:57of buying weapons in the Yaukimo area. Donki
00:21:00Samdu will
00:21:02be handed over to the local police. I remind all
00:21:06TPNP UPM members wherever you
00:21:09are. We, the TNI Police and all law
00:21:13enforcement officials in the eastern part of Indonesia, will continue
00:21:17to pursue and arrest all perpetrators of crimes against humanity in
00:21:20Papua, whether alive or dead. Four civilians
00:21:23died in several shooting incidents in Papua. Responding to this,
00:21:27TNI Commander General TNI Agos Subianto stated that handling
00:21:30it requires collaboration between institutions.
00:21:33TNI Commander General TNI Agus Subianto responded to a number of
00:21:37shooting incidents that occurred in the last few days. He believes that handling
00:21:40the actions of armed criminal groups or KKB cannot
00:21:43be done by one party, therefore local governments, ministries and
00:21:47agencies, including law enforcement teams, are considered
00:21:50to collaborate in handling the problem. According to
00:21:53Agus, the vastness of the region and the extreme mountainous geographical conditions
00:21:57are challenges in fighting on the ground. Collaboration
00:22:00between institutions is said to be one of the steps to address
00:22:04KKB actions in
00:22:05Papua.
00:22:08has deployed units
00:22:11in Papua. Indeed, Papua's
00:22:15territory is very vast, right? It's not
00:22:18that big. The territory
00:22:21and the territory consists of
00:22:25extreme mountains, and
00:22:28resolving Papua, I don't think it's just up to the TNI. Everyone must
00:22:31collaborate. Local governments,
00:22:34ministries, right? So,
00:22:37everyone must collaborate between the TNI
00:22:40and the ministries. Viewers, the SAR operation for the capsized
00:22:44KM Virgo Transport 8 has officially been extended for
00:22:47the next 7 days, starting September 20, 2026.
00:22:50This 7-day extension was made so that the joint
00:22:54officers could focus more on searching for the 125 passengers who have
00:22:57not yet been found and are suspected of being trapped inside the ship.
00:23:01This decision was made after Basarnas coordinated with
00:23:04stakeholders and the Salvage team formed by the ship owner.
00:23:08Coordination was carried out to determine the next steps in handling the shipwreck.
00:23:12Basarnas is currently waiting for the results of the Salvage
00:23:14team's discussion before determining the next steps so that
00:23:18the search operation can continue to be carried out according
00:23:22to developments
00:23:22on the ground.
00:23:28This operation will be extended for the next
00:23:327 days, so that's
00:23:35it. The reason is because we might need a long time
00:23:38for several things, viewers, there's
00:23:41a spotlight on social media regarding the survivors of the Virgo
00:23:45Transport 8 ship who claimed to have been given a statement
00:23:48not to file a lawsuit after receiving a token of
00:23:51appreciation. This letter was reportedly given to the victims while at
00:23:55the Kharisma Hotel Banjarmasin.
00:24:12Virgo Transport 8 ship survivors claimed to have been offered
00:24:15a statement not to file a lawsuit after
00:24:19receiving a token of appreciation. One of
00:24:23the survivors, Lestari, claimed to have been offered Rp 500,000
00:24:26on Thursday while at the Kharisma Hotel Banjarmasin.
00:24:30However, the victim who received the letter refused to sign
00:24:34it. She corrected, I was given
00:24:37a token of appreciation of
00:24:39Rp 500,000.
00:24:42What was that? Was there a letter with it? There was a letter,
00:24:45then the letter was torn yesterday. Why was it torn?
00:24:50They came and tore it.
00:24:53When they came yesterday, did they immediately offer the letter
00:24:57first or how was it? Yes,
00:24:59they distributed, uh, yes, they distributed
00:25:03first, then
00:25:05called to take the envelope
00:25:08containing Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the
00:25:12Virgo Transport 8 ship owner, Simpson Rihi, denied
00:25:15the existence of any document or statement prohibiting legal action.
00:25:19He called it hoax. He also denied
00:25:23that the survivors were only given a token of appreciation of
00:25:27Rp 500,000. The amount of appreciation we gave
00:25:29was much more than that, which can be done by the governor,
00:25:33and it can be verified by them from the governor or from Virgo?
00:25:37From the governor, it's correct. No, from Virgo,
00:25:40we have also prepared another token of appreciation, okay,
00:25:44the amount of which we will release soon, ma'am, because we
00:25:48have to calculate everything, ma'am, so not yet?
00:25:52Not yet, there is no statement that we will not
00:25:55give that, sir and madam, that can
00:25:59be called a hoax.
00:26:01The chairman of the Indonesian Consumer Empowerment
00:26:05saw an inconsistency in the regulations.
00:26:08He also questioned the supervision in
00:26:11the field. I think the most important thing in this context
00:26:15is the inconsistency of the regulations
00:26:18in the field regarding, for example, the classification bureau,
00:26:22what it's like, and also the supervision in the field
00:26:26so far, because this ship was imported from
00:26:29Japan, it's already 38 years old. And technically,
00:26:33it's actually only for short-distance ships, 180
00:26:37kilometers, but it's used for long distances, almost
00:26:41500 kilometers. Now, this means there's some malfunction in
00:26:45the use of the
00:26:47ship at Virgo Transport. Why was
00:26:51that allowed? Because this concerns regulations, because the ship
00:26:54shouldn't have been allowed, shouldn't have
00:26:57been seaworthy if there were no certifications and
00:27:02were released by the government. Until
00:27:06now, the families of the victims of the Virgo Transport 8 ship
00:27:09who have not been found hope that relevant parties
00:27:13will maximize the search and provide
00:27:16certainty. The victims' families also hope for justice in
00:27:18this incident. The Virgo Transport 8
00:27:22ship on the Surabaya-Banjarmasin route, which is 39 years
00:27:25old, is still in a capsized condition. This condition
00:27:29is a challenge in the search operation because there are suspicions
00:27:33that some of the victims are still inside the shipwreck.
00:27:36Metro
00:27:40TV news team. Regarding the investigation of the Virgo
00:27:44ship maritime accident, there are many technical debates regarding the structure,
00:27:47stability, and seaworthiness of this ship to operate in
00:27:50our waters. To discuss this, we have joined us from outside the studio,
00:27:54Iketut Arya, a hydrodynamics expert, and a professor at
00:27:57the ITS Faculty of Marine Technology, and Haris Muhammadun, Chairman of the Indonesian
00:28:01Transportation Society or MT. Good evening, Professor Ketut and Mr. Haris,
00:28:04good evening, Mr.
00:28:07Angi. Well, I will start with the technical aspects
00:28:11first with Professor. Professor, if the Virgo ship is said to be an ex-Japanese
00:28:15ship that basically operates in waters with different
00:28:18wave characteristics. Well, when a ship like this, Professor, operates
00:28:22in the Java Sea, how much does the wave characteristics affect
00:28:26the ship's stability?
00:28:29Okay, Mr. Angi, good
00:28:32evening, a ship is
00:28:36built, of course, for a certain operational area.
00:28:39Well, in the case of the Virgo ship, it has been reported
00:28:43and widely publicized, including for short distances of 180
00:28:46km, then in Indonesia it was brought to open sea.
00:28:50Well, in naval architecture, there must be an analysis called
00:28:54"ship performance" or in more specific terms, "sea
00:28:58keeping." Now, this aspect is often overlooked
00:29:02in the shipping industry. So, the ship owner
00:29:05or the ship buyer tends to emphasize
00:29:08whether the speed has been achieved or not, for example, 15 knots,
00:29:12and then it can carry a sufficient number of passengers.
00:29:15Well, then it's enough. Then the ship was
00:29:18imported from Japan and brought to
00:29:21Indonesia, no seakeeping analysis was done,
00:29:26were made to adapt to conditions in Indonesia. Well,
00:29:30that's what should be done, Mr. Angi, so... there is a seakeeping analysis that must
00:29:34be included in the decision to
00:29:37operate a ship like the Virgo
00:29:40ferry. Who should be supervising
00:29:44this, Professor?
00:29:48Uh, it can be from, they usually use
00:29:51consultants, right, design consultants. or also from the class of course,
00:29:54hmm yes, or parties that issue
00:29:57operational permits, for example, operational permits, if issued
00:30:01by the KSU. or perhaps the Ministry of Transportation or the Directorate General
00:30:05of Sea Transportation, for example, they must request the analysis
00:30:08that the ship was previously sailing in short-distance waters, then
00:30:12brought to open sea. Where is that analysis, does it meet the requirements
00:30:16or not? Okay, I'll go to Mr. Haris. Mr. Haris, from the perspective of public
00:30:20transportation, a ship like this certainly doesn't only talk about design.
00:30:24There's also the matter of feasibility and supervision, as Prof mentioned earlier. To what extent should
00:30:27the authorities ensure that the characteristics of this ship remain in accordance with
00:30:31the route and conditions of the water it traverses, Mr.
00:30:34Haris? Yes, if
00:30:38the Indonesian Transportation Society views
00:30:41that this incident has happened
00:30:44repeatedly, again,
00:30:47the transportation society
00:30:51asks the authorities, namely the Ministry of Transportation.
