Jakarta –
Rumors circulated about an order from the Director of Community Development (Dirbinmas) for each regional police to win one of the candidates for the 2024 presidential election, which was conveyed by PDIP politician Henry Yosodiningrat in a discussion forum. The National Police confirmed that the information was a hoax.
A video clip of Henry Yoso reading this information went viral on social media. Regarding this matter, the Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Sandi Nugroho, emphasized that the statement was a lie, aka a hoax.
“That the information is not true or a hoax. And since last week on social media the National Police have also given a sign or stamp of ‘hoax’,” said Sandi to journalists, Sunday (11/2/2024) evening.
The National Police emphasized that the attitude of neutrality is a principle that is firmly adhered to and is the commitment of the Bhayangkara Corps during the 2024 Election process. Both presidential elections (pilpres) and legislative elections (pileg).
“The National Police is very clearly committed to being neutral. Neutrality is a fixed price for the National Police, and this neutrality is bound by law,” he said.
He said the potential for hoaxes increased as election day approached. For this reason, he invited the public, especially social media users, to be wise when receiving information whose truth cannot be justified.
“Therefore, I think the public needs to understand that, approaching February 14, they need to be aware of the possibility that information will emerge whose source is unclear, the truth is not clear, spread by irresponsible parties, the aim of which is to create chaos, discredit, discredit,” explained Sandi. .
Furthermore, Sandi also emphasized that Polri members only focus on one goal, namely collaborating with stakeholders and all elements of society to realize safe elections.
“The National Police is focused on securing the election together with stakeholders, as well as inviting the public to realize a safe, cool, peaceful and dignified election,” concluded Sandi.
The following is hoax information conveyed by Henry Yoso in the discussion forum and video clips circulating on social media:
In fact, in this forum, hopefully, if it is later exposed to the media, it can be read by the National Police Chief, and if this news is not true, it will be countered and straightened out. But if this news is true, Mbok will be embarrassed, you know, and this order will be withdrawn.
Yes, this has been circulating, there is an emphasis from the National Police Chief on Dirbinmas throughout Indonesia. Firstly, this has been circulated in all Whatsapp groups, that I want to be summoned tomorrow by Bareskrim, I am ready, what time, where, I will be ready. One, mobilize the function of Binmas Polri as an instrument for winning elections. Two, the door to door system by Bhabinkamtibmas cannot be used anymore because the method is already known to the public.
Three, mobilize social security preachers to utilize religious facilities as a forum for managing and ensuring votes for candidate pair two within the next two weeks. Fourth, controlling the preachers of security and social order by providing each of them with a new cellphone device with a foreign sim card number and a mobile internet modem. Fourth, ask for financial assistance from BUJP (Security Services Business Entity) entrepreneurs who are colleagues of the Binmas Directorate in each region. If this is indeed a hoax.
I asked the National Police Chief to provide clarification because who knows if the meeting might not happen, but there were orders through other hands, dirty hands of course. And I can be responsible for this because I got this on Whatsapp, so I didn’t make it up. But if I want to be summoned by Bareskrim Polri or the Chief of Police, I am ready. Thank You.
