Denpasar, Bali (Antara Bali) - The Indonesian Defense Forces' (TNI) Commander General Moeldoko appealed to all soldiers here on Thursday to put an end to sectoral egoism.
"We must realize interoperability of both intelligence and operations. In realizing it, we must reduce sectoral egoism in all forces," he affirmed while giving directives to 2,360 soldiers, civil servants, and members of Dharma Pertiwi of the Udayana Regional Command IX.
He emphasized that all TNI soldiers must build synergy in their forces by upholding the spirit of unity.
The capabilities of TNI personnel must always be boosted through internal improvement that will be reflected in their discipline and combat capabilities.
"TNI intelligence is also being continually improved through the strengthening of the Strategic Intelligence Agency (BAIS)," he pointed out.
On the occasion, General Moeldoko also spoke about the issue of remuneration, revealing that it will continue to be increased.
"I was once invited to a dinner by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) at the palace. There I conveyed to him that the remuneration has not yet been increased," he remarked.
When President Jokowi was invited to the TNI Headquarters in Cilangkap to receive an honorary title from the army's special force, he stated that the TNI's remuneration will be increased to 56 percent.
"Remuneration is increased to 56 percent from 37 percent. It means that it is up 19 percent. Next year, we will demand more. The condition is that you have to work even harder," he affirmed.
He stressed that in order to be able to improve the welfare of the TNI soldiers, national stability must be maintained, so that the development efforts can be carried out smoothly. "If the nation's development runs well, the economy will grow to enable the state to allocate sufficient funds in the budget for the TNI," he noted.
In view of this, the TNI must support the government, so that it can function smoothly, he said. "The government's functioning should not be affected by any party from any quarter. If it is occurs, no investor will be willing to invest in Indonesia," he added. (WDY)
