        "summary": "The case of the acid attack on KontraS activist Andrie Yunus has drawn public attention, with the Indonesian National Armed Forces' Military Police (Puspom TNI) responding swiftly by arresting and examining suspected rogue members, while maintaining transparency in updates. Professor Kadri from UIN Mataram emphasises that the incident should be viewed as actions by individuals rather than implicating the entire TNI institution, warning against opinion manipulation that could undermine public trust in the military. He praises TNI's open communication strategy as essential in the information age to prevent misinformation and ensure clarity.",
        "content": "<p>The handling of the acid attack case against KontraS activist Andrie\nYunus continues to attract public attention. Amid this spotlight, the\nswift and firm actions by the Indonesian National Armed Forces\u2019 Military\nPolice (Puspom TNI) are seen as a demonstration of the institution\u2019s\ncommitment to upholding the law and maintaining public trust.<\/p>\n<p>Since the case emerged, TNI through Puspom has moved quickly by\narresting and examining several rogue members suspected of involvement.\nTransparency is also shown through open communication of case\ndevelopments to the public, including the identities and roles of the\nalleged perpetrators.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Kadri, a lecturer in Communication Studies at UIN Mataram,\nstressed that this case must be placed proportionally as an individual\naction, not an institutional one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my view, this issue should be positioned as rogue elements. It\ncannot be extended to the institution. It is not wise. It must be placed\nas rogue elements,\u201d he told reporters on Tuesday, 24 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>He warned of the potential for opinion steering that could harm the\nTNI institution as a whole. However, according to him, TNI has long been\nan institution that is a source of pride for society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m afraid this issue will be steered into character assassination\nof the institution that has been a source of pride. It should not lead\nto delegitimisation of the institution that should be strengthened\nbecause of this case,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he assessed that in the current information era, society\nis easily influenced by narratives that may not be complete. Therefore,\nclarity and consistency of information from the institution are key.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNowadays, society quickly believes certain information. Clarity is\nneeded to avoid bias,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>From a public communication perspective, he views TNI\u2019s step of\nopening information transparently as the right strategy to avoid\nconfusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTNI has dared to explain this transparently. In communication,\nsomething ambiguous makes the public not fully grasp the message.\nMessage certainty is important. This is what the public is waiting for,\u201d\nhe explained.<\/p>\n<p>He also assessed that TNI has shown a sufficiently clear stance on\nhandling the case, including revealing which rogue elements are\ninvolved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think TNI has been clear. Who the rogue perpetrators are and so\non. TNI must also be aware of attempts or signals of delegitimisation,\u201d\nhe added.<\/p>",
