BIFA is one of the few flight schools which do actually have multi-engine aircraft. They have about 4 seminoles since 2014. But you're right, most CPL/IR grads in Indonesia before 2014 only had single engine IFR ratings.
As for this incident, the ATR was being towed to the remote south apron and was not powered up; no nav lights, no strobes were on. The tug driver was also not on tower frequency.
A sad end to what was a brand new ATR42-600, which was about 6 months old at the time of the incident.
