The Moment of the Introduction to the School Environment or MPLS seems to be less exciting if the event is not interspersed with the promotion of extracurricular activities. The promotion is intended so that new students who want to actualize themselves have a positive container.
One of them is MAN 1 Sukabumi which held an MPLS and did not forget that the extra promotional event was also included in the event. But there is something quite surprising when the Islamic Youth Extracurricular Group Al-Ikhlas Mosque (Kharisma) raises the khilafah flag during the MPLS or MATSAMA event (during the taaruf of madrasah students).
The action also suddenly got the spotlight from netizens. The action was also justified by the principal of MAN 1 Sukabumi, Pahrudin. He also apologized to the entire community of Sukabumi related to the flag fluttering.
Deputy Principal of Student Affairs Ade Sepudin revealed his explanation, that his students did not understand the flag they were raising, which they knew was a tauhid sentence and was only used to enliven MPLS events with Islamic attributes. The flag is intended to promote extracurricular activities.
Ade also explained that at that time there was MPLS, where the activity was held from Monday to Friday, with the material delivered based on operational guidelines.
He also explained that raising the flag was a single idea that emerged from one of the students, with the understanding that what he raised was a tauhid flag.
The event occurred when the teachers were concentrating on a workshop which was also held in conjunction with MATSAMA time.
For this incident, the Sukabumi Police Chief, AKBP Nasriadi said that there was no crime related to raising a flag which allegedly contained the symbol of the Caliphate. Because his party said that this happened because of ignorance of students of MAN 1 Sukabumi.
Meanwhile, Head of the Ministry of Religion of Sukabumi Regency, Abas Rusmana said that his party would increase supervision by asking the school principal to accompany each student’s activities. The flag has been secured at the Cibadak Mapolsek.
From the event, of course we raised a big question mark, about where the student got the flag, did not know from the many extracurricular members that the flag was identical to the HTI mass organization that had been dissolved by the government. We hope that the school environment can be free from all radicalism.
From this event also, the school also gets a big homework to always educate its students to become someone who is not only clever in scientific matters, but also a person who loves the country and has an adequate national insight.
Alert to radicalism also exists in the city of Padang precisely in the Padang Barat sub-district. An initial N (39) was secured by Detachment 88 officers.
West Sumatra Police Public Relations Head Sr. Comr. Syamsi has also confirmed the news. But his side has not detailed the arrest operation.
Based on the information available, the Detachment 88 team has conducted a search in one of the residents’ houses in Berok Nipah village, Padang. The house is N’s house which has lived in the area for decades. The search takes place for half an hour from 15.10 until 16.20 WIB.
From the search, officers also secured a number of electronic items such as laptops, cellphones and tapes bearing the bomb.
The head of the local RT also did not know for certain what cases had ensnared one of the residents. However, it was alleged that N who worked to sell salt was a member of the terrorism network.
Meanwhile Refianti, who is the head of the local RW, also said that the owner of the initials N, behaved normally and in his daily routine, N looked like other residents and often communicated.
From the news, there is a thing that should be suspected, namely the existence of items such as laptops and tapes bearing the bomb. If there is such a thing, then the 88 detachment will not look indiscriminately in arresting the accused defendants.
In handling cases like this, it is certainly necessary for the participation of the community to reduce the virus of radicalism among the people. At least start from an environment like family.
