Muliaman stated that there is no time limit for the search for Eril, who has been missing in the Aare River since Thursday (26/5/2022).

"Actually, there is no time limit for this search to be stopped. Because yesterday we met with the SAR team and the river police said that it is our duty to monitor and maintain the river at all times. They did not say that if the search is not found in a few days, it will be stopped," said Muliaman.

2. Monitoring the Situation

Therefore, Muliaman ensures that the search for Eril will be carried out every day.

"The search will continue every day because it is part of their daily duty to monitor the situation from every part of the river," he added.

3. Critical Time

According to Muliaman, based on the information he received, there is a critical time in the search for missing people in the river. Usually, victims are found on the third day.

"But the majority refer to similar incidents in previous years where 99.9 percent were found within three weeks. So that's according to their decades of experience in maintaining this river," said Muliaman, who obtained data per year of similar incidents reaching around 15 to 20 cases.

4. Receiving Community Assistance

Nevertheless, Muliaman hopes that Eril will be found quickly. According to him, on the third day of the search, the SAR team will be greatly assisted by the community.

"During the Saturday-Sunday holiday, almost everyone dives into the river so that SAR officers can be helped by the presence of people in the river. Hopefully, there will be good developments this Saturday-Sunday," he said.

5. Strong and Patient Family

Elpi assures that Ridwan Kamil and his wife Atalia Kamil, as well as their family who are currently in Switzerland, are strong and patient in facing this test.

"He (Ridwan Kamil) and his family are observed to be healthy, strong, and patient in facing this test," he concluded.
