Anton says that UMM students never commit any criminal acts in the Lowokwaru region.
“UMM students are special, meaning that they are never involved in any criminal cases in the Lowokwaru region. According to the citizens’ reports, they behave well enough,” explained he.
Anton also says that the relations between his team and UMM have been established for a long time, even since the campus was founded. Interestingly, UMM always maintains good relationships and never cuts communication with the police albeit there is a chief restructuring at the sector level.
On the other hand, Winarti feels that UMM regions are unique, especially the Campus III one. It is inseparable from the location of the campus in the two districts: Malang City and Regency. Then, she recommends that synergy and understanding must go on, so security and usefulness can continue steadily. “Especially during Ramadan and Eid Mubarak later. Don’t let misunderstanding toward information happen.” said Winarti.
