Acting Governor of West Java Beyvi Machmudin was furious that the city of Bandung was nicknamed a 'city of extortion' after the Rp10 thousand parking fee case across from the Asia Africa Conference Museum was widely discussed on social media. "Park Rp10 thousand shouldn't be allowed. He called it on social media Bandung 'city of extortion'. Shame on us. Even though this is a matter for the city government, we can't let go of our hands, it's still part of West Java and is in the capital city. So try not to go into extortion," said Bey at Gedung Sate Bandung, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, October 3. "The parking problem of Rp. 10,000 shouldn't be. It's more than what it should be. I ask that there be no more extortion, everything is transparent," he added. Bey said that the provincial government would discuss the issue of vehicle parking costs in Bandung City with the city government to the police. "I don't want it to be like that anymore. If there is just a closure, we will coordinate with the Regional Police or need it with the TNI," he said. The problem of vehicle parking costs in the city of Bandung surfaced following the upload of the @infoanjawarat account regarding the parking ticket photo at the PARKING ZONE FA 90 Jl Asia Afrika No. 90 in front of the Asia Afrika Conference Museum.

"There are photos of motorbike parking tickets in Bandung being charged a tariff of Rp. 10,000 in the Asia Africa area, to be precise in front of the KAA Museum, Bandung City. Warganet said: Bandung Lautan Pungli! Well, apart from an unreasonable price, on the ticket it is also written that all loss is not the responsibility of the manager," the account said.
