thanks. but why are they in uniform? should they be disbanded?
they are in uniform because they are paramilitary wing when they are first formed by the Government back in 1965 era's. They have duties to assist the TNI (or ABRI at the time) to located, traced, and arrest suspicious Communist member when the purges against the commies at the height back in 1965-1966 massacres. In the 70 to 80 eras, they are had been used by the government to keep the watch against Islamist movement and another religious movement in Indonesia, in which has been leading to Tanjung Priok massacres and another massacres in East and West Java. Tanjung Priok massacres itself is to call an incident about the killings of about more than three hundreds Muslim prayer in North Jakarta by the TNI in which assisted by some paramilitary wing unit such as Pancasila youth. Thousands of Muslim leader has been death and abducted by the TNI back in 70-80 era's of Soeharto regime.
That's why my self is very agitated when some Chinese-Indonesia trying to playing victims about the misfortune happened to them while in Soeharto era. More peoples from other Indonesian ethnics has been killed during his regime, and we are not talking about a mere hundreds number of victims but in tens thousands or more. Soeharto killing more his own Javanese peoples, Acehnese, Ambonese, Papuans, Sundanese and others than Chinese descent ethics living in Indonesia. Taking the others Indonesian ethnics doesn't have any financial and influence clout as the Chinese, the misfortune happened to them bound to be unheard and tend to be forgotten by most peoples today.
Don't trying to playing blind and deaf, we are all the same victims from his and his elitist craziness.
