The TNI Strategic Intelligence Agency (BAIS) was also asked by the Commander in Chief to help mitigate any possible threats that may arise prior to, during, or after the event. "Anticipate all existing threats. Read carefully the possible threats from the nine strategic components and mitigate them. So that it could be mitigated," stressed the TNI Commander.
