The decision follows public backlash over the criminalisation of an elderly rubber tapper, prompting the state-owned enterprise to withdraw charges and adopt a compassionate approach. It highlights the need to balance asset protection with social responsibility towards local communities.",
        "content": "<p>PT Perkebunan Nusantara I (PTPN I) confirmed that the legal case\ninvolving 74-year-old Mujiran will be resolved through restorative\njustice. The decision followed instructions from the Head of the BUMN\nManagement Agency and Danantara\u2019s Chief Operating Officer, Dony Oskaria.\nThe case drew public attention after Mujiran was reported for allegedly\ncollecting leftover rubber sap in PTPN I\u2019s Regional VII Bergen Estate,\nAfdeling I, in Wonodadi Village, Tanjung Sari District, South\nLampung.<\/p>\n<p>The incident began in February 2026 when Mujiran worked as a rubber\ntapper in the state-owned enterprise\u2019s plantation. Management stated\nthat a familial resolution had been reached as part of the restorative\njustice process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough restorative justice as directed by the BUMN Management\nAgency, we hope this is the best way to resolve the legal case. We have\nlearned that field officers must respond with greater sensitivity,\nresponsiveness, and a firm commitment to human values,\u201d said PTPN\nmanagement in an official statement.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on Sunday, 24 May, Dony Oskaria issued a stern reprimand\nto PTPN management following public criticism that the case amounted to\ncriminalisation of an elderly citizen.<\/p>\n<p>As a follow-up, the BUMN Management Agency and Danantara issued three\ndirectives to PTPN\u2019s board, including halting legal proceedings by\nwithdrawing the complaint and stopping all forms of intimidation against\nMujiran.<\/p>\n<p>PTPN I stated that restorative justice was always an option for\nresolving the case, though the process coincided with widespread media\ncoverage.<\/p>\n<p>The company also viewed the directives from the BUMN Management\nAgency and Danantara as an opportunity to review asset security\noperational standards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an extension of the state, asset protection must not be separated\nfrom social responsibility and empathy towards local communities,\u201d\nmanagement wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The case of Mujiran previously sparked widespread attention on social\nmedia, with many arguing that resolving disputes involving elderly\ncitizens should prioritise humanitarian approaches and dialogue over\ncriminal proceedings.<\/p>",
