Habib Aboe Bakar’s Statement
Habib Aboe Bakar Al-Habsyi, a member of Commission III of the DPR, made a statement regarding drugs in Madura during a meeting with the Head of the BNN, Police Commissioner General Suyudi Ario Seto. The meeting was held last Tuesday (7/4).
Aboe Bakar initially spoke about the importance of synergy between the BNN and local governments in combating drugs. According to him, without synergy, drug eradication will not be optimal.
“We also emphasise the importance of synergy between the BNN, Police, and local governments, as well as all elements of society in combating drugs. Without solid collaboration, our efforts will not achieve optimal results,” Aboe Bakar said during the meeting.
He then cited findings in Madura. He requested verification of allegations of the involvement of ulama and pesantren in Madura related to narcotics.
“For example, Madura. I was shocked, Sir, that ulama have started getting involved with narcotics too—please check if it’s true? The pesantren too, Sir. What’s going on? It turns out there’s profit in it, Sir. There’s profit there, and it’s a lot, not just a little,” he said.
He mentioned that the profits from that game are substantial. He also expressed concern over the findings.
“Well, I’m worried that those playing in this—sorry, we’re not being tendentious—I’m worried that those involved are people in positions, Sir. Because of this, or big businessmen,” he stated.
He also urged law enforcement to pay attention to border areas and coastal fringes. He said those areas become hubs for drug trafficking.
“We must consider those border areas, coastal fringe areas, and so on. I won’t specify where. They are definitely centres for the transit of those goods,” he said.
