Tribratanews.polri.go.id - The Kanjuruhan tragedy has caused a huge sorrow for the Indonesian people where it caused more than 130 peopl died in the tragedy. The tragedy becomes the second highest number of casualties in the world of football.

This needs to be an evaluation so that the nightmare would never happen again in Indonesia. A thorough investigation of this tragedy in all aspect must also be conducted.

One of the highlight of this tragedy is the match that was held at late evening, although the security apparatus, in this case the police, already asked for the match to be held much earlier.

This issue is indeed interesting due to the Indonesian Football Association and the New Indonesian League who insists in making the match late evening, which is in prime time, due to the large commercial value that television gets from advertisements.

Sadly, the stadium infrastructure and the security preparations was not prepared enough if the match was held at late evening.

Communication expert, Rahmat Edi Irawan sees the need for all parties to look into themselves and evaluate. "If there is something that needs to be changed or fixed, then you should do it sincerely with all your heart. There no winning in football that’s worth more than your live,” he explained.
