The episode opens by introducing the draft revision of Law No. 2 of 2002 concerning the Indonesian National Police (RUU Polri), which is circulating publicly and causing concern. It notes that KBR is awaiting a presidential letter regarding this revision. The draft is criticized for expanding police powers, a move that is not appreciated. President Prabowo is reported to have asserted that police victory should not be added, as Polri is already responsible enough in the security sector. DPR chief Puan Maharani aligns with this, stating that the DPR has not received an official surprise (presidential letter) regarding the problem inventory list for RUU Polri. She insists that what circulates publicly is not an official communication. Observer Bambang Rukminto from the Institute of Security and Strategic Studies (ISIS) criticizes the draft material. He writes that it does not address problems in the existing 2002 law and instead gives additional benefits to the police. Bambang emphasizes the need for transparent discussion and meaningful public participation. He urges the DPR and government to open wide dialogue with civil society, warning that a hurried, closed process risks increasing public distrust of police institutions long-term. This could create a gap between law enforcement and the people. Transparency is needed to avoid suspicions about how the law revision will be interpreted. The Civil Society Coalition for the Reformation of Policies summarizes articles in the draft that refer to expanding police power in education. They argue it aims to make police a 'super body' institution. Specific controversial articles are cited: Article 16 verse 1, which involves police security, construction, and surveillance of cyberspace for national security purposes, and Article 16A, which states Polri will organize plans and intelligent policies. The coalition worries RUU Polri could make police a political tool to spread fear in the community. The episode concludes as a KBR report hosted by Hoyerun Nisa.
