Politik uang atau yang dikenal dengan money politik adalah sebuah upaya memengaruhi pilihan pemilih (voters) atau penyelenggara pemilu dengan imbalan materi atau yang lainnya. Dari pemahaman tersebut, politik uang adalah salah satu bentuk suap. Praktik ini akhirnya memunculkan para pemimpin yang hanya peduli kepentingan pribadi dan golongan, bukan masyarakat yang memilihnya. Para calon Kepala Daerah ataupun calon anggota legislatif yang melakukan money politik akan merasa berkewajiban mencari keuntungan dari jabatannya, salah satunya untuk mengembalikan modal yang keluar dalam kampanye. Akhirnya setelah menjabat, dia akan melakukan berbagai kecurangan seperti menerima suap, gratifikasi atau korupsi lainnya dengan berbagai macam bentuk. Tidak heran jika politik uang atau money politik disebut sebagai “mother of corruption” atau induknya korupsi.

Ketua Dewan Pimpinan Cabang Persatuan Wartawan Republik Indonesia (DPC PWRI) Kabupaten Tasikmalaya Chandra Foetra S mengatakan, “Politik uang telah menyebabkan politik berbiaya mahal. Selain untuk jual beli suara (vote buying), para kandidat juga harus membayar mahar politik kepada partai dengan nominal fantastis. Tentu saja, itu bukan hanya dari uangnya pribadi, melainkan donasi dari berbagai pihak yang mengharapkan timbal balik jika akhirnya dia (Kepala Daerah atau Calon Legislatif) yang didukungnya terpilih. Perilaku ini biasa disebut investive corruption, atau investasi untuk korupsi“, ungkapnya.

Selain itu, dirinyapun mengatakan, Fenomena politik uang atau money politik menjadi ancaman serius menjelang pesta demokrasi Pemilihan Umum (Pemilu) dan Pemilihan Kepala Daerah (PILKADA) Tahun 2024. Dirinya pun mengimbau seluruh masyarakat untuk ikut mengawal Pemilu ataupun Pilkada dengan menentang dan menolak praktik politik uang atau money politik yang dapat menjelma menjadi korupsi. Karena menurutnya, jika masyarakat memilih calon anggota legislatif ataupun calon Kepala Daerah karena politik uang atau money politik, sama halnya masyarakat tersebut melahirkan calon pemimpin baik anggota legislatif ataupun Kepala Daerah yang akan melakukan tindakan korupsi dikemudian hari ketika dirinya telah terpilih dan menjabat.

Fenomena politik uang atau money politik menjadi ancaman serius menjelang pesta demokrasi Pemilihan Umum (Pemilu) dan Pemilihan Kepala Daerah (PILKADA) Tahun 2024 ini. Maka dari itu saya mengimbau seluruh masyarakat khususnya yang ada di Kabupaten Tasikmalaya dan umumnya di seluruh Indonesia untuk ikut mengawal Pemilu ataupun Pilkada dengan menentang dan menolak praktik politik uang atau money politik yang dapat menjelma menjadi korupsi. Karena jika masyarakat memilih calon anggota legislatif ataupun calon Kepala Daerah karena politik uang atau money politik, sama halnya masyarakat tersebut melahirkan calon pemimpin baik anggota legislatif ataupun Kepala Daerah yang akan melakukan tindakan korupsi dikemudian hari ketika dirinya telah terpilih dan menjabat. Sudah bukan menjadi rahasia lagi jika setiap penyelenggaraan Pemilu ataupun Pilkada baik tingkat nasional maupun tingkat daerah masih dikotori dengan politik uang. Apabila masyarakat dengan senang hati menerima politik uang, maka perilaku tersebut dapat memberatkan para Kepala Daerah serta Wakil Rakyat. Sebab, ongkos politik atau demokrasi yang tergolong sangat mahal dapat memicu oknum Kepala Daerah atau Wakil Rakyat melakukan tindak pidana korupsi“, ungkapnya.

Lebih lanjut Chandra pun menegaskan, “Jika para Wakil Rakyat (anggota legislatif) dan Kepala Daerah yang terpilih karena sudah melakukan politik uang atau money politik, mereka bakal berhitung ongkos yang telah dikeluarkan untuk mengikuti kontestasi jabatan politik. Ongkos tersebut pun bakal diupayakan agar kembali modal dikemudian hari saat dirinya telah menjabat. Praktik balik modal yang dilakukan oleh oknum anggota legislatif ataupun Kepala Daerah yang terpilih karena melakukan politik uang atau money politik tersebut dengan berbagai macam hal, karena sudah jelas, gaji mereka selama 5 tahun menjabat sebagai anggota legislatif ataupun Kepala Daerah jauh lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan biaya mereka pada saat mencalonkan dirinya sebagai calon anggota legislatif ataupun calon Kepala Daerah dengan melakukan politik uang atau money politik demi mendapatkan suara dari masyarakat“, tegas Chandra.

Boost asset performance, cut downtime, and stay ahead of competitors with PetroSync Reliability & Maintenance training for business leaders. In today’s competitive industrial landscape, asset performance is no longer a technical concern—it is a business imperative. If your competitors can maintain higher equipment availability, reduce downtime, and respond faster to failures, they gain an advantage that directly affects market share, profitability, and customer trust. As a business leader, you may already sense this pressure. The uncomfortable question is not whether reliability matters, but whether your organization is moving fast enough. When Your Competitors Fix Assets Faster Than You Can Imagine two companies operating similar assets in the same market. One experiences frequent unplanned shutdowns, while the other maintains steady production with minimal disruption. The difference is rarely luck—it is capability. Organizations that invest in reliability and maintenance competencies empower their teams to detect issues earlier, prioritize the right tasks, and execute maintenance with precision. Studies consistently show that mature reliability programs can improve maintenance productivity by 15–25%, simply by reducing reactive work and improving planning accuracy. While your team struggles with fire-fighting mode, competitors with structured reliability frameworks move faster, recover quicker, and deliver more consistent output. Over time, that performance gap becomes impossible to ignore. The Hidden Cost of “Business as Usual” in Reliability and Maintenance Many companies underestimate the cost of maintaining the status quo. On the surface, operations may appear stable—but beneath it lies inefficiency. Unoptimized maintenance strategies often lead to: Excessive overtime and labor waste Spare parts overstocking or critical shortages Repeated failures that erode asset life According to industry benchmarks, poor maintenance practices can consume up to 30% of total operating costs. Meanwhile, organizations that adopt reliability-centered approaches typically achieve 10–20% operational efficiency improvements, freeing capital for growth rather than repairs. If competitors are already operating leaner and smarter, continuing “business as usual” is not neutral—it is a risk. How Smart Reliability Leaders Turn Technology Into a Competitive Weapon Forward-thinking leaders understand that reliability excellence is no longer driven by people alone—it is amplified by technology. AI-powered maintenance tools, including intelligent chatbots, are increasingly used to support frontline teams. These systems help technicians access procedures, historical failure data, and troubleshooting guidance instantly. The result is faster decision-making, fewer errors, and reduced dependency on limited expert resources. Organizations implementing AI-assisted maintenance solutions report: Faster issue resolution and improved team productivity Reduced training time for new technicians Operational cost savings of up to 20–30% by minimizing downtime and unnecessary interventions However, technology only delivers value when paired with strong reliability fundamentals. This is where professional capability development becomes critical. Programs such as CMRP Training and CRE Training equip professionals with the strategic and analytical skills needed to turn tools and data into real performance gains. Staying Relevant in an Era Where Asset Performance Defines Market Winners The reality is simple: markets reward organizations that can sustain asset performance under pressure. Those that fail to evolve risk falling behind—not because they lack assets, but because they lack reliability leadership. Reliability-centered methodologies help businesses shift from reactive maintenance to structured decision-making. Programs like ARCM Training enable teams to align maintenance activities with business risk, ensuring resources are focused where they matter most. Meanwhile, RCA Training helps organizations break the cycle of recurring failures that quietly drain profitability. For business leaders, investing in reliability and maintenance capability is not just about equipment—it is about protecting competitiveness. When your competitors can deliver faster, cheaper, and more reliably, the cost of inaction becomes far greater than the cost of transformation. About PetroSync Global Internasional PetroSync was established in Singapore in 2010 and began its expansion into Indonesia in 2013. To this day, PetroSync has become a leading oil and gas training provider, with a participant passing rate as high as 90%. This Press Release has also been published on VRITIMES
