Pangkalpinang,- Viralnya kasus pemerasan uang sebesar Rp 20 juta yang melibatkan seorang oknum wartawan di Pangkalpinang, Bangka Belitung, hal itu mencoreng nama baik profesi jurnalis di wilayah tersebut. Sudarsono alias Panjul (37), seorang wartawan yang seharusnya menjalankan tugas untuk menyampaikan informasi yang benar kepada publik, kini harus berurusan dengan pihak berwajib setelah diduga terlibat dalam kasus pemerasan terhadap seorang pengusaha kontraktor lokal.

Modus Pemerasan

Kasus ini terungkap setelah Polresta Pangkalpinang menetapkan Sudarsono sebagai tersangka. Menurut keterangan dari pihak kepolisian, Panjul diduga menggunakan posisi dan pengaruhnya sebagai wartawan untuk mengancam pengusaha tersebut. Ia disebut-sebut telah menerbitkan berita negatif tentang proyek yang sedang dikerjakan oleh pengusaha kontraktor tersebut. Korban, yang merasa tertekan oleh ancaman itu, akhirnya dipaksa menyerahkan sejumlah uang kepada tersangka guna menghindari pemberitaan buruk yang dapat merusak reputasinya.

Pasalnya, Panjul, oknum wartawan online di Kota Pangkalpinang, Bangka Belitung (Babel), terjaring OTT saat memeras perusahaan senilai Rp 20 juta.
Saat operasi tangkap tangan (OTT), petugas menemukan uang senilai Rp 20 juta dari tangan tersangka. Uang itu hasil memeras korban. OTT itu berdasarkan informasi dari masyarakat ke Kejaksaan Tinggi (Kejati) Bangka Belitung. Kemudian, Polresta Pangkalpinang bersama Kejari dan Kejati turun ke TKP.

Respon Masyarakat dan Pengusaha Lokal

Kasus ini tak hanya mencoreng dunia jurnalistik, namun juga memicu keresahan di kalangan pengusaha lokal. Banyak pengusaha kontraktor di Bangka Belitung merasa khawatir dengan adanya wartawan yang menyalahgunakan profesinya untuk kepentingan pribadi.

Seorang pengusaha yang enggan disebutkan namanya menyatakan keprihatinannya atas kasus ini. “Kami berharap aparat penegak hukum bisa bersikap tegas agar kasus seperti ini tidak terjadi lagi. Kami ingin bekerja dengan tenang tanpa tekanan dari pihak mana pun,” ujarnya.

Proses Hukum dan Ancaman Pidana

Sudarsono alias Panjul kini resmi ditahan di Polresta Pangkalpinang dan bisa dikenakan Pasal 368 KUHP tentang pemerasan, yang ancaman hukumannya mencapai sembilan tahun penjara.

“Berawal ada laporan masuk, kemudian setelah berkoordinasi kita turun dan melakukan OTT, menangkap yang bersangkutan ini. Kita bawa ke Polres termasuk barang bukti, habis itu gelar, (kasus) naik penyidikan dan selanjutnya penetapan tersangka,” jelas Kasat Reskim Polresta Pangkalpinang AKP Riza Rahman.

Tamparan Bagi Dunia Jurnalistik

Kasus ini menjadi tamparan keras bagi dunia jurnalistik, terutama di wilayah Bangka Belitung. Diharapkan agar para jurnalis selalu menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai etika dan profesionalisme dalam menjalankan tugasnya. Profesi wartawan sebagai pilar keempat demokrasi harus terus dijaga kredibilitas dan integritasnya agar tetap mendapat kepercayaan dari masyarakat, jangan sampai mencoreng nama baik profesi jurnalis.

Masyarakat juga berharap agar kejadian serupa tidak terulang lagi di masa mendatang, dan pihak penegak hukum mampu memberikan efek jera bagi oknum-oknum yang menyalahgunakan profesi yang seharusnya mulia ini.selebrynew.co.id

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
