Jakarta – IWAN Bule, a figure who is not unfamiliar in solving difficult cases, has left his mark in the history of law enforcement in Indonesia. As a retired police general who is now active in the political arena, Iwan Bule is committed to bringing his successful experience in handling sensitive cases into the service to the state.
Iwan Bule’s greatest achievement is seen in handling two major cases: the murder of Nasrudin Zulkarnaen and the arrest of Gayus Tambunan. In the case of Nasrudin Zulkarnaen, Iwan Bule faced a tough test because of the involvement of his own friend, Kombes Wiliardi, who turned out to be involved in the murder. Despite facing deep inner conflict, Iwan Bule showed his commitment to the law and justice.
In the context of investigation and uncovering the truth, Iwan Bule showed admirable steadfastness. Close friendship could be a potential weakness that might undermine his role as a law enforcer. However, Iwan Bule firmly stated, “When I am faced with a choice between a friend or the state, I must take the side of the state, even if there is inner turmoil. We, as law enforcers, must remain committed to upholding justice, even if it involves close people.”
Another achievement that strengthened Iwan Bule’s reputation was the arrest of Gayus Tambunan in Singapore. Without an extradition agreement between Indonesia and Singapore, Iwan Bule managed to bring Gayus back to face the law in Indonesia. This success illustrates Iwan Bule’s strong determination to eradicate corruption and abuse of power to uphold justice.
Indonesia was shocked by the incident, and the people admired Iwan Bule’s efforts in showing his determination to eradicate corruption.
Regarding the Gayus Tambunan case, Iwan Bule stated, “How many people have been harmed by the actions of corruptors. Corruptors roam freely abroad, while the people here even struggle to meet their daily needs. Money that should have helped the people was corrupted by those rats in suits. We must make efforts to capture them!”
In an interview about his decision to run as a legislative candidate, Iwan Bule firmly emphasized the urgency of having representatives who truly understand and care about the needs of the people. “It is important to have representatives who not only listen, but also empathize with the aspirations and interests of the people,” he said with full confidence.
Iwan Bule reaffirmed his commitment to continue working hard in his political journey. “I bring my experience and dedication from the world of law enforcement into the political arena. This is a continuation of my dedication to the people and the state,” he said, while expressing his hope to create real positive change for all layers of society and the state.
When asked about his vision and mission in the political world, Iwan Bule emphasized that his focus is to give a voice to the people and ensure justice in policy making. “I am committed to being the voice of the people, representing their interests with integrity and courage,” he added with enthusiasm. *** (SENOPATI)
