Controversy has emerged over a provision in a proposed new law that gives the TNI chief the power to deploy troops during an emergency without presidential approval. Observers have pointed out that the bill allows the Indonesian Military (TNI) to stage a coup. The TNI chief, meanwhile, claimed to have no knowledge of the provision. How did the controversial provision come about? Is it true that it reflects the return of a "radical group" in the TNI?
