Jakarta, CIDISS – Indonesia has been the target market dealers and drug users for a long time. Almost the entire community threatened to be a drug user. Many motifs that the drug dealers do to influence people to use drugs. With financial motives and sheer pleasure. Drug use is strictly prohibited in Indonesia. It had a negative impact and corrupting the moral
However, few time ago a public official, Regent of Ogan Ilir, Ahmad Wazir Nofiadi Mawardi defined by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) South Sumatra Province as a suspect of drug users. The results of urine tests showed that the newly appointed head of the region on February 17, 2016 was positive for using methamphetamine. In addition, the military district commander (Kodim) Makassar some time ago also caught a drug party at a hotel.
The behavior of these officer is evidence that the drug has undermined official in this country, It will be a special concern for the public. The image of Indonesian officials will be getting worse. Currently many Indonesian officials denounced as corrupt officials. Their officials who use drugs will worsen the image of government. Public confidence in the government will be more decrease.
There is a real threat behind the decline of public trust in government itself. This mistrust will lead to a disintegration that may be used by foreign or separatist groups. It became a weapon for them to propagandize the public, cause distrust to support secession from the NKRI. Therefore, it is better to these officials we are strictly supervise from the electoral process until the duties and jurisdictions. Anyone who gets a job in government must also self-conscious that he has a great responsibility and an example for the young generation. [RP]
