DEPOK – La tension monte à nouveau entre Sandi Butar Butar et Damkar Depok après la fin de son contrat qui n’a pas été prolongé. Damkar Depok a mis fin à son contrat de travail avec Sandi.

Sandi est connu pour sa critique acerbe envers Damkar Depok. Il a porté plainte en 2021 pour des allégations de corruption présumée au sein de l’organisation. L’année suivante, il a à nouveau porté plainte contre son supérieur hiérarchique pour des allegations de maltraitance présumée.

En pleine pandémie, en 2024, Sandi a publié une vidéo faisant une visite guidée des équipements de travail de Damkar Depok, qu’il a décrits comme étant en mauvais état. Cette vidéo a suscité une réaction de la KPK, qui a indiqué alors que si les allégations s’avéraient fondées, elles pourraient être poursuivies en justice pour corruption présumée.

Alors que l’année 2025 commence à peine, Sandi refait surface, ramenant la tensions entre lui et Damkar Depok. Cela s’est produit après que Damkar Depok a annoncé qu’il ne renouvellerait pas le contrat de travail de Sandi.

Damkar Depok a confirmé la fin du contrat de Sandi en publiant une lettre de témoins oculaires datée du 800/140/PKTT/PO.DAMKAR/I/2024. La lettre indique que le contrat de Sandi Butar Butar n’a pas été prolongé.

"Former Viral ‘Damkar’ Sandi Butar Butar’s Contract Expires, Salary Ranges for Indonesian Firefighters Revealed"

Jakarta – Sandi Butar Butar, the viral ‘room tour’ firefighter from Depok, is no longer on duty as his contract with the Jakarta Disaster Mitigation Agency (DAMkar) has ended. The termination was confirmed by a letter of service, bearing the number 808/140/PKTT/PO.DAMKAR/I/2024, stating that Sandi’s contract was not renewed.

How Much Did Sandi Earn?

As a contracted firefighter, Sandi’s salary differed from those on the civil service list (PNS). His monthly earnings varied depending on his employment status – PNS or contract-based. Factors like job tenure, rank, and location also influenced their pay. Generally, Indonesian firefighters make between IDR 1.75 – 4 million per month.

According to a 2024 Antara report, most Indonesian firefighters earn between IDR 2.085,791 – 4,790,022 monthly. Entry-level firefighters make around IDR 2.085,791 – 4,242,840, while those with five years of experience can expect IDR 2.324,510 – 4,579,380.

Detailed Salary Breakdown by Status

  • PNS Firefighters:

    • Golongan IIIA: IDR 2,891,600 – 5,118,200
    • Golongan IIIB: IDR 3,060,600 – 5,423,400
    • Golongan IIIC: IDR 3,232,900 – 5,735,700
    • Golongan IIId: IDR 3,411,500 – 6,059,300
    • Golongan IIIe: IDR 3,594,700 – 6,394,100
  • Contract-based Firefighters (PPPK):
    • Golongan IXa: IDR 1,750,000 – 2,696,700
    • Golongan IXb: IDR 1,863,600 – 2,901,200
    • Golongan Xa: IDR 2,002,200 – 3,117,800
    • Golongan Xb: IDR 2,147,600 – 3,345,000
    • Golongan Xia: IDR 2,299,400 – 3,583,700

These figures are estimates and can vary by region. Total earnings also depend on various allowances, including risk allowance, performance bonus, Hari Raya bonus (THR), health allowance, and others per local regulations.

As a contracted worker, Sandi likely fell under the PPPK category, thus his estimated salary was IDR 1,750,000 – 3,583,700 before allowances.

Failed Contract Extension for Sandi Bingung, Damkar Depok’s Fate Uncertain

written by Chief Editor

Headline: Ex-Damkar Depok Employee Baffled as Contract Not Renewed; Officials Cite Contract Expiration and Performance Evaluation

Article:

DEPOK — Sandi Butar Butar is left bewildered after his contract with the Depok Disaster Mitigation Agency (Damkar Depok) was not renewed. The former employee is puzzled by the reasons behind his contract’s non-renewal.

"Honestly, I don’t know. What was my mistake? Could it be personal vendetta? Or maybe it’s from Bu Tesy? Perhaps the issue lies with me? Maybe I did something wrong in my work?" Sandi conjectured to reporters in Depok on Tuesday (7/1/2025).

Sandi felt he had never absented himself from his duties as a Damkar Depok staff member. He also claimed to have always followed his superiors’ orders. However, he was left perplexed when he was told that his contract would not be extended.

"I’m also confused because I was fired. What was the factor? What were the standardizations? If they said I could join, I would join immediately. Whatever they commanded, I always finished my tasks. Even when I got burned or broke my bones, I kept going," Sandi explained.

officials, however, attributed Sandi’s contract non-renewal to the expiration of his contract.

"Previously, there was a question why his contract was not renewed. We explained that it was not renewed because the period of his employment contract had expired," said Tesy Haryanti, the acting head of the Operational Control of Fire and Rescue Division at Damkar Depok.

Tesy also cited an internal evaluation at Damkar Depok as a reason for not renewing Sandi’s contract. She added that the evaluation was based on an annual performance review, which led to the decision not to renew his contract.

"Another reason is the internal evaluation we conduct at our office, the Depok Fire and Rescue Department. Everyone is evaluated every year, including you. We have an evaluation every year, and that indicates that his contract cannot be renewed," Tesy said clearly.

Sandi’s employment contract termination was confirmed through a certificate of resignation issued by the Disaster Mitigation Agency with number 800/140/PKTT/PO.DAMKAR/I/2024. The certificate stated that Sandi’s contract was not renewed.

"His work period was from November 10, 2015, to December 31, 2024. The reason for leaving is that the contract was not renewed. On behalf of the Depok Fire and Rescue Department, we express our gratitude for your hard work and dedication," the certificate read.

The certificate was issued on Thursday (2/1) and signed by Tesy Haryanti, the acting head of the Operational Control of Fire and Rescue Division.

Headline: Depok’s Dispute: Damkar Worker With ‘Room Tour’ Viral Moment Sees Contract Terminated; Alleges Lack of Performance Evaluation

Subhead: Sandi Butar Butar, a former employee of Depok’s Fire Department (Damkar), raises concerns about the termination of his contract and the alleged absence of performance evaluations for a decade.

Byline: [Your Name], Contributing Writer

Article:

DEPOK — The Fire and Rescue Department of Depok city (Dinas Pemadam Kebakaran dan Penyelamatan) has refrained from renewing the contract of Sandi Butar Butar, a former staff member who gained attention for his ‘room tour‘ video showcasing the department’s operational assets. In a notable turn of events, Sandi has reported suspected corruption and raised questions about the alleged lack of performance evaluations during his nearly decade-long tenure.

Sandi, speaking to a reporter in Depok on Tuesday (7/1/2025), claimed, "There was none. In almost 10 years of service, there was never any evaluation." He expressed uncertainty about the evaluation standards for Damkar personnel and asserted that he believed his work to be commendable despite the lack of official assessment.

"I think I worked well. Essentially, I feel you just have to follow the standard operating procedures, obey superior orders," Sandi explained. He revealed that three Damkar staff members, including himself, had not had their contracts renewed.

"It’s actually three of us. The other two were rarely present. As for me, I really don’t know why I was let go. Maybe my superiors manipulated my attendance records, but that’s just speculation," he said, referring to his confusion about the reasons for his termination.

Sandi admitted that, until recently, he was unaware of any performance evaluation process. However, he mentioned that members were required to submit activity reports, which he believed were rarely reviewed or validated by superiors. "We’d submit these, but the feedback or evaluation never seemed to come, and it always felt like we were just writing them to fill a void," he concluded.

Depok‘s Firefighting Agency Explains Unrenewed Contract for Sandi Butar Butar

Depok, Indonesia – The Head of the Operational Control and Rescue Division at the Depok Fire and Rescue Department ( tzv ‘Damkar’), Tesy Haryanti, has clarified the reasons behind the non-renewal of contract Sandi Butar Butar. Sandi Butar Butar gained viral attention after posting a ‘room tour’ of damaged firefighting equipment, alleging suspected corruption within the department.

"Earlier, there were questions about why his contract was not renewed. We clarify that his contract was not renewed because it had reached the end of its validity period," Tesy explained to reporters on Tuesday (7/1/2025).

She further explained that the decision was also based on internal evaluations conducted annually at the Depok Fire and Rescue Department. "Based on our annual performance evaluations, we decided not to renew his contract," she added.

The non-renewal of Sandi’s contract was officially communicated in a Certificate of Service Letter No. 800/140/PKTT/PO.DAMKAR/I/2024 issued by the Depok Disaster Mitigation Agency. The letter states that his contract was not renewed due to the completion of his contract period from November 10, 2015, to December 31, 2024.

Tesy confirmed that two other firefighters also had their contracts not renewed, and all three were informed of the decision through both notification letters and the service certificates. She emphasized that the non-renewal was due to the completion of their contract periods and was not an isolated incident.

Headline: Hawaiian Airlines Flight from Seattle to Honolulu Turns Back Due to Cockpit Smoke

Article Body:

A Hawaiian Airlines flight headed to Honolulu, Hawaii, was forced to return to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) soon after takeoff on Monday due to smoke in the cockpit. The incident, involving Hawaiian Airlines flight 21, a twin-engine Airbus A330, occurred at around 1:00 PM local time.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that the crew on the flight, with 273 passengers and 10 crew members on board, discovered smoke in the cockpit shortly after the plane left the runway. Initially, reports indicated smoke in the cabin, but this was later revised to smoke in the cockpit.

In response to the emergency, the captain declared an in-flight emergency, allowing the flight to land with priority at SEA. There were no reported injuries, and all passengers and crew members were safe. First responders, including fire and medical services, were dispatched as a precaution.

Upon landing, the aircraft was inspected by Seattle-Pierce County Fire Department personnel. No signs of smoke or unusual odor were found on the plane, according to Perry Cooper, a spokesperson for the Port of Seattle.

Hawaiian Airlines spokesperson Marissa Villegas confirmed that the plane had safely landed and that passengers were expected to continue their journey to Honolulu on a replacement aircraft the following morning.

"We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our passengers," Villegas said, emphasizing the airline’s commitment to safety. "We will work with our passengers to ensure they arrive at their destination as soon as possible."

The FAA is currently conducting an investigation into the incident to determine the cause of the smoke.

Could Flock of Birds Have Caused Jeju Air Crash in South Korea?

Headline:
Deadly Korean Plane Crash: Bird Strike as Cause?

Subhead:
Investigation Underway After 179 Dead in Country’s Worst Aviation Disaster

Byline:
[Your Name], BBC News Indonesia

Body:

In a shocking turn of events, South Korean authorities are probing the possibility of a bird strike as a factor in the nation’s deadliest aviation disaster. A total of 179 people lost their lives when a Jeju Air plane crashed near the city of Muan on Sunday, December 29, 2024.

Air traffic controllers had issued a warning about a possible bird strike hours before the tragedy, signaling a heightened risk of collision with birds or a flock thereof. Now, investigators are working tirelessly to ascertain if the bird strike was indeed the cause of the crash, or if other factors were involved.

What is a bird strike?

A bird strike, also known as bird strike or bird aviation hazard, is a collision between a bird and an aircraft during flight. While these incidents are quite common in the aviation industry, they can be particularly dangerous as they can cause engine failure if the bird gets sucked into the engine.

Last year alone, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported over 19,600 wildlife strikes, with the majority involving birds. Indonesia, too, has witnessed several such incidents at major airports like Soekarno-Hatta, Hasanuddin, Juanda, and Hang Nadim, as well as other locations across the eastern region.

Is bird strike to blame for the Jeju Air crash?

Officials have not yet confirmed whether the Jeju Air plane collided with birds or any other wildlife. However, a passenger aboard the plane reportedly sent a message to their family stating that a bird had gotten stuck in the plane’s wing, preventing it from landing. Meanwhile, Lee Jeong-hyun, head of Muan’s fire department, suggested that both bird strike and poor weather conditions could have contributed to the crash, though the exact cause remains under investigation.

Aviation expert Chris Kingswood, who has extensive experience flying planes similar to the one involved in the crash, told BBC that while bird strikes can pose serious threats, the recorded video footage does not definitively pinpoint the cause of the crash. Kingswood noted, however, that the plane’s lack of landing gear and improperly deployed wing covers suggested that the situation may have unfolded very quickly.

Pilots are generally well-equipped to handle bird strikes, and fatalities are relatively rare. However, a crash in Alaska in 1995 resulted in 24 deaths after a plane collided with a flock of geese, and the "Miracle on the Hudson" incident in 2009 involved a plane striking a flock of geese, though all 155 passengers and crew ordeals safely.

Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) will lead the investigation into the Jeju Air crash, with assistance from South Korean and other relevant authorities.

"Jeju Air Pilot Alerts Mayday: Bird Strike Preceded Tragic Crash"

Headline: Jeju Air Plane Tragedy: Pilot Ejected Mayday Signal Due to Bird Strike Minutes Before Crash

Article:

In a tragic turn of events, a Jeju Air plane experienced a bird strike just minutes before it crashed at Muan International Airport in South Korea, killing 179 passengers on board. The pilot had ejected a mayday signal due to the incident, raising questions about the fateful crash that has left the aviation community stunned.

The Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport confirmed that the pilot of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft (flight 7C2216) declared a mayday at 08:59 local time. The alarm was raised just two minutes after an air traffic control warning was issued about the bird strike at 08:57.

"After receiving the bird strike warning, the pilot declared a mayday," a ministry spokesperson said, quoted by Yonhap News Agency. The pilot was subsequently given permission to land on the opposite direction of runway 1. However, the aircraft veered off the runway, hitting the surrounding concrete wall, and eventually exploded.

All 175 passengers and four cabin crew members on board were confirmed dead, with only two flight attendants miraculously surviving the crash. The ill-fated flight had departed from Bangkok, Thailand, carrying a total of 181 individuals on board.

Eye-witness footage captured the harrowing moment when the plane arrived without its landing gear, skidding on its belly before bursting into flames. Early reports suggest that a combination of bird strike and adverse weather conditions may have contributed to the accident.

While the cause of the crash is still under investigation, public scrutiny has fallen on the relatively short runway at Muan International Airport, which is currently under construction and measures around 2,500 meters. However, the ministry maintains that the length of the runway was not a factor in the crash, stating that the plane in question could safely land on a runway measuring as little as 1,500 meters.

As the aviation community mourns the loss of life, all eyes are on the investigation process to determine the exact cause of the Jeju Air plane crash and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
