Here is Headlines of several national newspapers published today, June 5 2018.

We begin with Kompas entitled, ‘the Government and Parliament’s Guarantee is Doubtful’

The Government and the House of Representatives guaranteed the inclusion of special crime cases into the Criminal Code Draft Bill (RUU KUHP) will not weaken the eradication of special cases, such as corruption, terrorism, severe human rights violations, money laundering, and drugs. However, the guarantee is yet to erase worries that corruption eradication will be disturbed by its inclusions into the Criminal Code Draft Bill.

Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has sent letters for five times to President Joko Widodo to convey their hope so that corruption will not be included in the Draft Bill. The commission Deputy Chairman Basaria Pandjaitan at the Presidential Palace Complex Jakarta on Monday (4/6) said, the corruption eradication already has its own law, so there is no need for another one. Separatedly, KPK Deputy Chairman Laode M Syarif added, the rejection against corruption inclusion into the Criminal Code Draft Bill is kept being conveyed by KPK during the Draft Bill, both with the government and the legislators.

Meanwhile Media Indonesia wrote, "UNRI Rector Admits the Failure".

Riau University (UNRI) Rector Aras Mulyadi said, the arrest of three UNRI alumni who are also alleged terrorist had gave the campus bad image. He admitted to fail noticing any suspicious moves of the suspected terrorists. Therefore, UNRI will carry out some organized efforts and strengthen the comprehension of Pancasila (Indonesian Ideology) in their curriculum.

UNRI also had declared its rejection against radicalism and condemned the terrorism after the arrest of the three suspects in their campus.

We end the Headlines with Republika entitled, "Peak of Homecoming Traffic Begins This Weekend".

The peak flow which was predicted to be in the middle of next week, apparently will happen this weekend. Jakarta-Cikampek road will be the most condensed spot in the homecoming traffic.
