Intelligence role crucial

From Kompas

Intelligence is a determining factor in anticipating security problems. It serves as a preventive measure against disturbances, unlike the fire brigade which acts whenever there is a fire taking place. Intelligence must be able to anticipate, predict and draw an analysis and ultimately make the right decisions to thwart catastrophe.

Under this backdrop intelligence's role is crucial, especially in dealing with terrorism and conflicts among various social groups that lately have prevailed in several regions, not to mention the fact that we all lack the techniques and ethics in implementing democracy correctly.

Further, the intelligence bill that is being prepared should be given due consideration. We hope the intelligence law would be able to answer the challenges in future and the Military and the Police should work together to accomplish the common goal of intelligence. Overlapping jobs must be strictly avoided.

It should be noted that the process of establishing the intelligence law must involve various elements of the nation so as to produce a law that can guarantee justice and meet the needs of democracy.
