The Bandung City Government asked the local community to entrust security matters to the authorities, so there is no need to carry sharp weapons (sajam) for self-security on the streets of developed cities.

"Don't, I think it's an inappropriate thought. Just trust the security forces, trust the police," said Bandung Mayor Ema Sumarna as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 25.

Furthermore, Ema also asked the public to pray and support the authorities in creating security and comfort in the city of Bandung.

Moreover, he emphasized, that playing judge by yourself is the wrong thing to do.

"Hopefully our officers, with the support of the community, there is Linmas too, hopefully the security of the city of Bandung will be better. I also don't like it and don't support it with force of violence and play with my own law, that's the wrong thing," Ema added.
