TNI expects the Assembly to respect differences of opinion of
the people, maintain the concept of the unitary state as well as
the presidential system, he said in a press briefing at TNI
headquarters in Cilangkap, East Jakarta.

"We (TNI) understand how important this amendment process is
for the country. We also understand that the Assembly is
undertaking the amendment process out of their concern to the
people. But TNI insist that the process should not end up with
the drafting of a new constitution which means abandoning the
spirit of our founding fathers," Sjafrie said.
