Prior to the incident in Malang, Save Our Soccer recorded as many as 86 football fans have died since 1995, mostly as a result of riots. "This kind of incident has happened many times, but there has been no serious action from our football manager, the conclusion is that we are tested with more severe tests. This is very concerning and if there is still no introspection, it would be better if football is abolished in Indonesia," Akmal told BBC News Indonesia, Monday (03/10).

After that on Saturday (1/10) later, he again witnessed the fatal tear gas shot at the Kanjuruhan Stadium on a "much more sinister" scale. That night, he saw firsthand how many victims were not saved. “The victims whose terms have been helpless were gathered on the field with the players, together with the manager Arema. Yes, it has been placed in the field so lined up. Oh, that's a lot... it could be dozens," he said. Several supporters from various clubs in Indonesia also admitted that they had seen firsthand the repressive actions of the police and tear gas shots when dealing with the crowd in the stadium.

Football observer Anton Sanjoyo said the method of securing the crowd of supporters in the field zone should comply with FIFA provisions, which prohibit the arrival of armed security personnel and the use of tear gas. However, in practice, security forces equipped with tear gas launchers continue to appear in football matches in Indonesia. But no one made a problem because they did not have time to take the victim as big as the incident in Malang. "So maybe PSSI thought that this was something that FIFA never had an issue with, now because the victims are so big, it's a concern. I believe FIFA wants to ask PSSI how to handle this problem, it really wants to be answered, you know, for years there were no problems with police officers in the field," said Anton.

A woman cries at the door of Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang, on Monday (3/10). Maike Ira Puspita, Deputy Secretary General of PSSI, told the BBC that extra deterrence measures had been taken - including tightening security "for deterrence". Persebaya supporters are also prohibited from arriving at the Kanjuruhan Stadium. During the early stages of the game, everything was "managed". "Security went on as usual," Maike said. At the end of the match, Arema lost 2-3. "And this is the point when some supporters run to the field. And everything starts to break down from there," said Puspita. It's not clear what really happened next. The authorities moreover did not want to detail the chronology of events on the ground. "I think we'd better all wait for the investigative team," Maike told the BBC.

Kanjuruhan Stadium incident: Deadly minutes, 'screams, lying unconscious, lifeless' in a sea of ​​tear gas fumes, stories of witnesses from several stands Meanwhile, the Indonesian National Police (Polri) has checked 28 members of the alleged ethical violation in Kanjuruhan and deactivated the Malang Police Chief in response to this incident. 'It's better to destroy the field than kill the people' As long as the journalist Aditya Wahyu Pratama has covered Arema FC's home matches since 2016, the fans have repeatedly taken to the field to deliver their "uneg-uneg". Such events, for him, occur at least once at a time. Aditya was also confused as to why the officers fired tear gas at the audience stands. That night, Aditya saw the fans being evacuated to the halls of the stadium near the media room. Some of them have been lying dead dead.

“ Many have blue faces. There was a friend who helped with CPR because the victim's heart rate was very thin, I think, he tried CPR but it didn't help. Some of the friends who brought the victims have no lives," said Aditya, who admitted that he was still traumatized by the events that night. He also saw how medical officers were overwhelmed by the number of victims, on the other hand the bonus ambulance fleet could not enter the stadium zone. As a result, many victims were not saved. “In the past few years (covering) this new one is really bad. If I was an individual, it would be better if the field was destroyed, rather than killing the humans," said Aditya. This is the second time Aditya has seen the riots that led to tear gas shots at the Kanjuruhan Stadium. The first incident occurred in 2018 when Arema played against Persib. One Arema supporter died one day after the incident due to weakness and shortness of breath. “But it was true that at that time there were not as many people who were hit by tear gas as today. At that time the medical team could still help, if yesterday was overwhelmed," said Aditya.

The community and Arema FC (Aremania) supporters pray together in the Kanjuruhan Stadium park, Malang, East Java, Pekan (02/10/2022). Another Arema supporter who witnessed the match, Muhammad Dipo Maulana, said the police "did not give any warning or warning" before firing tear gas. If Dipo's claim is proven to be true, then it is possible that the shooting of tear gas would be contrary to the Chief of Police's Protap No. 1 of 2010 concerning the Prevention of Anarchy. Meanwhile, a fan from Persija Jakarta, David – not his real name – said he had also faced tear gas in a match he watched at Gelora Bung Karno in 2012. However, the tear gas shot at that time was only aimed at one side of the stands. The situation at the GBK stadium which has many doors also makes it easier for supporters to evacuate themselves.

On the other hand, a Bolaoh, the term for Persib Bandung supporters, Dimas Edi Sambadha, said that the repressive response of the apparatus often arises when the fans start to get "hot" due to the high tension in the match. "When the crowd is large and people of all kinds can relate, the conclusion is that there are only those who get bombed, hit by a clock and I often see it with my own eyes," he said. Regarding the events that took place in Malang, these supporters also voiced that PSSI should "totally evaluate" the safety and security procedures at the stadium, especially in dealing with crowds of supporters. The police are considered to carry out their own provisions, on the other hand PSSI is accused of allowing Football fans put Arema's attributes when exploring a joint prayer for the victims of the Kanjuruhan incident at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, Bali, Monday (3/10/2022). The large number of fatalities in the incident in Malang, said Akmal Marhali, shows the procedure for taking action against the masses is "not good" because the apparatus "does not master the regulations" that apply in football.

The large number of fatalities in the incident in Malang, said Akmal Marhali, shows the procedure for taking action against the masses is "not good" because the apparatus "does not master the regulations" that apply in football. But Akmal considers PSSI to be "sinful" in this case because it is thought that it has not explained the safety and security procedures that refer to FIFA standards to the authorities. This is reflected in the use of tear gas inside the stadium which is clearly against FIFA regulations. "So far, the police have followed their own rules because they have not received input on the rules of football, so in the future, everything must be addressed together," said Akmal. Meanwhile, for Anton Sanjoyo, the involvement of the apparatus should only be in the zone outside the stadium. Because the police have a different approach in dealing with crowds.

The field zone, he said, should be a “technical zone which is the domain of FIFA law” so that the security system also refers to FIFA regulations. Ideally, there should be no security forces, especially those who are armed and carry tear gas launchers inside. Crowd control should always be persuasive. "He should have been warned first, put up with his feet, pushed to return to his position in the stands. It's different if it's outside the stadium, it's just using the standard for police mass action," he explained.

But first, Anton calculated that PSSI tended to allow the police's typical security approach to exist in the stadium because FIFA had not questioned it. "The big thing at this time is because there are 130 lives lost, in conclusion people are referring to FIFA regulations, what exactly is it? Oh, the FIFA provisions actually can't. If it is not allowed, we must observe whether PSSI's provisions have different provisions from FIFA. If different why? We must ask PSSI, why are there always security forces in the technical zone?” explained Anton.

However, PSSI has not responded to the BBC News Indonesia issue regarding this matter until this news is published. On the other hand, Anton also said that it was necessary to clearly identify the alibi of the officers who fired tear gas that night considering the large number of people who took to the field. "We want to find out, but the use of tear gas without a step-by-step procedure will be the subject of investigation in the days ahead," said Anton, who is also a member of the Joint Reality Finding Team (TGPF) formed by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud. MD.

Why are the police deployed in a football game?

Akmal said that securing matches in stadiums should ideally be tried by civilians through stewards like what is being tried in European leagues. But to provide the stewards, PSSI is considered not to have the energy resources to train them.

"So if at this time we are still with the police because the police have provided guidance and training on the formation of chaos, we have not been given mature and comprehensive input regarding FIFA provisions," said Akmal. For Akmal, PSSI actually already has regulations regarding safety and security at the stadium which can be used as a reference for the authorities. But the incident in Malang confirms that the regulation is not implemented properly in the field.

"When there are new problems, panic is extraordinary, meanwhile there have been many inputs regarding predictions of high-risk matches," he explained. "This is the responsibility of PSSI, it should be, to disseminate information, not only to the police, but also to supporters so that people arriving at the stadium can really enjoy the match," said Akmal.
