00:00This is a surveillance system to use the Interpol and ASEANAPOL templates.
00:24I believe that the modus operandi used has been modified according to the tools and equipment that has been improvised.
00:45In this matter, I believe that modern policing no longer requires the use of omnipresence,
00:55that is, those who are in uniform or not in a certain location, but more to the equipment.
01:05Immediate action in promoting prevention and empowerment should not be shortened.
01:17There are developed countries that have high-definition CCTVs installed every 50 meters in sensitive areas.
01:29This must be done and the government must invest through modern policing in our country.
01:36Although we are confident in the capabilities of the Interpol and ASEANAPOL for the whole of ASEAN,
01:43but we believe that criminals, especially cybercrime, have also increased their efforts.
01:53Therefore, the authorities must exceed their capabilities or be in the upper hand compared to the criminals,
02:03whether they are organized crime, individuals, or teams.
02:10This must be done freshly.
02:13How soon should ASEAN countries be coming up with this Interpol-like system?
02:20They have already established ASEANAPOL.
02:24I believe the same template is being used by ASEANAPOL, not only within ASEAN, but we go beyond ASEAN.
02:35Because the information sharing is beyond any region.
02:43With the capabilities of intelligence gathering, as well as the latest equipment and tools,
02:50I believe they are doing it now.
