Purpose: This study aims to deeply analyze the responses of online motorcycle taxi drivers to the implementation of E-Tilang (electronic ticketing) in Palembang City in 2024, by identifying their perspectives, attitudes, and experiences with the system. Methodology: A qualitative approach was used to gain in-depth insight. Data collection methods included field observations, in-depth interviews with drivers, questionnaires to capture broader views, and supporting documentation to strengthen the findings. Results: The implementation of E-Tilang has increased awareness of and compliance with traffic regulations among online motorcycle taxi drivers, mainly because of concerns over sanctions that could affect their income and reputation. However, challenges remain, such as the lack of socialization of incentives, limited driver involvement in policymaking, and the need for better education on the benefits of the system. A more inclusive and communicative approach is essential to ensure the long-term success of E-Tilang in promoting safer and more orderly traffic. Conclusion: E-Tilang in Palembang effectively improved traffic compliance among online motorcycle taxi drivers owing to concerns over penalties. To enhance its impact, better outreach, driver involvement, and education are required. An inclusive approach will support safer and more orderly traffic. Limitations: The short research duration and varying respondent understanding may have influenced the accuracy of the responses. Contribution: This study provides valuable insights for improving e-ticketing policies and serves as a reference for future academic research on traffic law enforcement.

Purpose: The purpose of this scientific article is to analyze the expansion of the position and role of the TNI in the 2025 TNI Law regarding the potential formation of a Military Junta in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, as well as to compare the involvement of the Military in the political realm that occurs in Indonesia and Myanmar. Methodology/approach: The article was prepared using a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection was performed using library study and triangulation data analysis techniques. Results/findings: Results show that Myanmar's military dominance stems from authoritarian history and constitutional shifts. In contrast, Indonesia's 2025 TNI Bill expands military roles within state operations but raises concerns over democratic decline due to its non-transparent legislative process. Conclutions: The expansion of the position and role of the TNI based on the TNI Bill 2025 does not have the potential to create a Military Junta, but there needs to be supervision of every policy issued by the government related to the role and function of the TNI. Limitations: This paper is limited to the impact of the expansion of military positions in the TNI Law, which has the potential to create a military junta. In addition, the approach used in the analysis was limited to case studies and legislation. Contribution: This research contributes to the social, political, and legal fields that discuss the revision of the TNI Law, which has received various responses from local and global communities.
