City military chief installs two assistants

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Military Commander Maj. Gen. Sutiyoso
said Thursday that Jakarta needed territorial personnel who could
face all types of problems in the city.

"Personnel should know the geography, demography and social
conditions to find solutions to problems," Sutiyoso said.

Sutiyoso made these comments while installing Col. Sutetyo as
a new territorial assistant to the military command chief of
staff to replace Col. Prabowo Suharto.

The two-star general also installed Lt. Col. Dody Sudarno as
the new chief of the military's supervision and assignment
department to replace Col. Darlan S.

Sutiyoso said territorial personnel should cooperate closely
with people from various classes to create stable social
conditions for the sake of national unity.

Meanwhile, city military command spokesman Lt. Col. DJ
Nachrowi said Col. Prabowo would be installed as an education
supervision director at the Military Academy in Magelang, Central
Java.

Col. Darlan would be assigned as an intelligent assistant at
the Sriwijaya Military Command in Palembang, South Sumatra, he
said.

Nachrowi said that Col. Sutetyo was a former chief of the
military veteran and reserves supervision body, and Lt. Col. Dody
was a former territorial deputy assistant to the military chief
of staff.

Sutiyoso officially closed the Students Personality
Development Training Course at Graha Wisata Cibubur, East Jakarta
on Thursday evening

He said in a written statement read by Col. Sutetyo, that
senior high school students should be guided toward positive
activities.

"Jakarta, with all its aspects as a dynamic metropolis, could
affect students' attitudes and behavior," Sutiyoso said.

He said mobility, hero worship and high spirits could have a
negative affect on students. "That's why students should be
guided," he said.

He said he hoped the training course would increase student's
discipline.

The course, which also aimed to create solid citizens for
nation unity, was sponsored by the Jakarta Military Command in
cooperation with the City Police, the University of Indonesia's
School of Psychology, the city's sociopolitical affairs office
and the Ministry of Education and Culture's city office.

The six-day course was attended by 131 students from 50 senior
high schools throughout the city. (jun)
