JAKARTA: The West Java administration has unveiled a controversial plan to send "unruly adults" to military barracks for character education training, expanding a programme that was originally aimed at addressing student delinquency.
West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi announced that the initiative will begin in June and will target individuals who “disrupt public order,” such as drunkards, street thugs, extortionists and those that undermine the region’s investment climate.
