00:00A little bit more than what you have shown today.
00:04There was a truck accident that brought a car that fell upside down in the city.
00:11Is there any development that has been achieved so far?
00:14Okay, if I may inform you here, the investigation for the Mahan case has just been completed
00:25and the findings from the investigation have been confirmed.
00:31First, the weather factor is one of the main causes of the accident
00:35due to the slippery road surface with the momentum of the truck itself
00:44that carried two cars upside down, contributing to the accident.
00:51However, there are also other factors that contribute to the accident
00:57such as the speed that exceeded the speed limit set by the SOP.
01:02We will not compromise with the actions of the authorities or the investigators.
01:12We will take action according to the military regulations
01:19against the members or officials involved.
01:22Because for the movement of any military convoy, we have a certain SOP
01:28where it must be escorted by vehicles, then according to the speed limit set by the SOP.
01:37Therefore, we do not want our movement to carry heavy vehicles
01:45that may damage other road users
01:49in addition to ensuring the safety of the assets that we carry.
01:53So, we are very, very careful.
01:55It's all about the KPKP, the damaged private vehicle carrier.
01:59The estimated damage is Rp 182,000.
02:02And we will make amendments to that.
02:05But there is no damage to the private vehicle that is being carried.
02:18As I said earlier, we have just received the final report.
02:21We will evaluate the action.
02:25It will be discussed so that any responsible parties
02:30will be given justice.
02:33But we do not have any sabotage elements in the accident.
02:40Maybe it's an issue of negligence.
02:44Yes?
02:45Is it possible to confirm that there was an escort or convoy in the KPKP?
02:52Yes, but we saw it in the video.
02:56Maybe the escort or convoy was separated when the accident happened.
03:02I have not read the full report yet.
03:05We will see.
03:07So, whoever is a violation of the SOP, we will take action.
03:13This is not the first incident.
03:16For example, it happened in Sabah.
03:19There was an accident in the KPKP and we took action.
03:23What we do not want is the loss of lives of the passengers.
03:30Secondly, the use of public roads.
03:34And as I said earlier, all the assets are of high value.
03:38So, we do not want the violation of the SOP
03:44to cause a high risk for the government.
