Surabaya (Antara Bali) - National Police Chief Gen. Tito Karnavian has
assured that the security situation in the country was fine and urged
people not to react on the basis of rumors about a money rush in the
capital Jakarta.
Such rumors were being spread via the social media.
"The money rush is a hoax. Those spreading such rumors want to
destabilize the countrys economy to create chaos," he told reporters
after the National Dialogue at the Office of the Provincial Legislative
Assembly (DPRD) of Surabaya, East Java, on Saturday (Nov 19).
Asking people not to be influenced by the hoax, he disclosed that
he had ordered the Cyber Crime Squad to track down and catch those who
disseminated a rumor about a money rush.
He assured that he can guarantee the security of the country in his
capacity as the police chief. "I held a meeting with the Indonesian
Defense Forces (TNIs) commander on Friday to assure myself that the
security situation in the country was quite good. Any demonstration is
something normal," he noted.
Most importantly, the police chief urged the people not to be affected, especially by the money rush hoax.
"We are not disclosing the identity of the culprits as they can
then run away. Once they are arrested, we will definitely reveal it,"
the police chief commented when reporters asked him who was behind the
hoax.
The national police chief also attended a health related social
service event for residents in the Jenggolo square, Sidoarjo, East Java.
At the national dialogue, the Chief of the National Police revealed
his plan to form a special team to reduce any conflict potential. The
team involved military, police, government agencies, and community
leaders. (WDY)
