00:00The incident of robbery, attack and murder of police officers at Ulu Tiram Police Station
00:09is clearly a very serious and justified act to be condemned by all the people who love
00:19security and public order, because the police are the largest authority agency in our country.
00:28Based on the details of the incident, I would like to explain that the immediate action
00:41taken by the police is to tighten the procedure of standard operations for all areas of the
00:55country, including IPD, police stations and all the main premises of the police force.
01:02The relevant orders of administration have been issued to re-examine the procedure of
01:08standard operations with some very clear instructions.
01:12The second is to still issue the order of administration, this time referring to the
01:21permanent order of the head of the state police, as the frequency of raids in the premises
01:30area, which is considered as the main target of this security area.
01:39There is also a need to re-examine the logistical situation for each police station,
01:48whether there are lights, fences, etc.
01:51So we issue an order to immediately provide information and it will go through a process
01:59for us to improve.
02:01Likewise, what we also include is the order for this police station, the fence door,
02:09to be closed after 10 o'clock at night.
02:12We have to balance between the police station and the place for the people to complain.
02:16At the same time, the police station is also a target.
02:19So we balance between the two needs.
02:22For example, the incident in Ulutira, at that time there were two people who were already
02:29dealing with police officers.
02:31And that's when the attack happened.
02:35So thank you, Sirian, for the question that shows great concern.
02:41And that is part of what I call the police force's responsibility to ensure that all
02:51our security areas are protected.
02:55Thank you.
