        "content": "<p>The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) has imposed physical\npunishments on participants of the basic military training (latsarmil)\nprogramme for Red-and-White Village Cooperative (KMP) managers who\nviolate regulations, such as being late for morning assembly. \u201cFor\nexample, during morning assembly, if they are late, perhaps because they\noverslept, we give them a punishment of 10 or 15 push-ups,\u201d said Marine\nLieutenant Colonel Agus Mutaqin, Commander of the Training Battalion for\nSPPI KDKMP and KNMP at the 1st Marine Brigade in Cilandak, East Jakarta,\non Thursday. Agus explained that the physical punishment is intended to\ninstil a high level of discipline and obedience to the rules. The\npunishment is also expected to help participants live more orderly\nlives. In addition to tardiness at assembly, participants will also\nreceive punishment if they fail to attend communal meals. According to\nAgus, this is necessary because eating is a mandatory activity to\nmaintain the participants\u2019 physical health. \u201cWe also impose collective\npunishment, for example, for not eating. Because eating is to improve\nour capabilities; if they do not eat or do not eat together with the\nothers, we punish them so they do not repeat it the next day,\u201d he said.\nAgus stressed that the punishments given to the participants are not the\nsame as those for soldiers, but are adjusted to the participants\u2019\nphysical capabilities. This is done to keep the participants motivated\nand enthusiastic throughout the training programme. He added that the\nentire training programme has so far been running safely and smoothly.\nHe hopes the current training process can be completed successfully and\nthat all participants will gain useful knowledge to apply when managing\nthe Red-and-White Village Cooperatives.<\/p>",
