“With full respect, i express my gratitude for the guidance given since i was assigned to the Subang Polres last May. I learned many useful lessons from him,” said AKP Asep to progresifjaya.id.
According to him, the figure of AKBP Ariek as a leader also greatly reflects the work principles expressed by the legendary figure of the world-class film producer, director, animator, and voice actor, Walt Disney.
The work principle that AKP Asep meant was, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing”. If then translated into Indonesian, it would sound like, “Cara untuk memulai adalah berhenti berbicara dan mulai”.
“In my opinion, he is a leader who doesn’t talk much but works a lot. Well, like Walt Disney’s understanding of the work principle. His attitude is also nurturing and guiding us to work with full responsibility, commitment, and until completion,” he said in praise.
A similar impression was also expressed by the Head of the Subang Polres Traffic Unit Regident Unit, Ipda Dedi. He said, that AKBP Ariek is a leader figure who is always a role model for his staff.
“He is a firm leader who does not compromise on violations of the law. But he can also be very humanistic and humble with the community and his subordinates. Just look at what the situation is like and he is adaptive and quick to adjust,” said Ipda Dedi.
After the passing of AKBP Ariek, Ipda Dedi continued, the entire ranks of the Subang Polres really hope that the next leader, namely AKBP Donny Eko Wicaksono, can also be a role model. And he really believes that hope will come true considering that the Subang Polres is not a new work area for AKBP Donny. In addition to being the Head of Operations, AKBP Donny is also a former Wakapolres of the Subang Polres.
“It’s like coming home for AKBP Donny. And of course that is an additional motivation for him to give his best for the Subang Polres. I really believe that,” he emphasized again. (Bembo)
