Palembang, KOTABARI.COM – The ongoing conflict between a group of residents and TNI personnel in Lorong Budiman, 35 Ilir Village, Palembang, has finally come to a peaceful resolution after mediation by Dandim 0418. Both parties have agreed to put an end to the prolonged dispute.
Lieutenant Colonel Arief Hidayat, Dandim 04/18 Palembang, explained that the issue stemmed from a misunderstanding between the residents and the family of the TNI personnel. “We regret the occurrence of this issue. In fact, this is an ongoing conflict between the residents and Mr. Indra’s family,” Arief stated. He also added that Serda Rustam, a member of Kodim, was involved in the matter.
According to Arief, both parties had different perspectives on the incident. Mr. Indra’s family felt disturbed by the noise, while the residents believed they were celebrating the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia. Arief noted that both sides felt they were right from their respective viewpoints, making it a complex situation to give a straightforward judgment on.
Arief also revealed that after mediation conducted by his team, both parties eventually agreed to reconcile. “Initially, they reported each other, but after a deeper review, they realized and respected each other. As a result, they agreed to reconcile,” he explained.
Family of TNI Personnel Presents an Alternative Perspective
However, a different version of events emerged from the family of the TNI personnel involved in the incident. According to Nana, a family member, the music played during the incident was not a patriotic song, but rather a loud remix. “The music played was a loud remix, and we have video evidence of it,” Nana stated.
Nana also clarified that prior to the incident, some residents had attacked Nana’s partner and brother-in-law, resulting in injuries. Nana argued that the residents disagreed with the use of a loud speaker to play the remix music. “Two TNI members were assaulted by residents due to their disagreement with the use of a loud speaker to play the remix music. As a result, my partner and brother-in-law sustained injuries,” Nana added.
With two differing versions from both sides, the mediation conducted by Dandim 0418 has successfully brought peace to Lorong Budiman. This incident underscores the importance of handling conflicts wisely and the need to listen to and understand all perspectives involved.
