                Recently the biggest Islamic group in Indonesia named FPI or also known as Front Pembela Islam officially has been disbanded by Indonesian government, although this group has been stated as unofficial group because they not extend the period of their Certification of Registration on June 20, 2019. The government of Indonesia announce that FPI has been banned on any operation on December 30 2020. The group not allowed to use any of their attributes, flags, or running an event.

                The group change their name from Front Pembela Islam to Front Persatuan Islam and announced by Aziz Yanuar as attorney of FPI on January 1, 2021, the group also will change their logo and flag with the new one.

                The group usually to an organized event such as recitation, Islamic event and homily. But all this group activity does not break the law, how come they get disbanded by the government?

                Some activity that controversial are protest to People’s Consultative Assembly of Indonesia to repeal Pancasila as Indonesia single principle on 1996, dissolution of liquor and prostitution place on 1999, members of FPI group clash with local citizen on 2013, and recently wedding gathering and Prophet’s birthday on 2020. Some of this act leads to clash or unrest between FPI with the local police or the local civilian instead, the group also disobeyed the social distancing by held a wedding ceremony and Prophet’s birthday.

                Some members of FPI rely on the group as their social life and also source of income. The group often get more money by held an event or secure some event.  The group only grow larger and able to expend on various region in Indonesia because most of Indonesian are Muslims and this group is well known as an Islamic group.

                Some people happy about the disbandment because they don’t have to worry about this unofficial group going to clash with local citizen anymore, but some are unhappy because the group of their religion get disbanded for unclear reason.

The disbandment of FPI group looks like nothing changed. The group only change its name and will be able to operate as soon as the government approve their exist. Soon the group might be involved on another controversial activist or maybe the opposite, but to me this just make no difference for the society.
