Meanwhile, the Regent of Indramayu Lucky Hakim was also asked to apologize for his vacation to Japan without permission from the governor or the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri), especially during the 2025 Eid homecoming period.
Lucky Hakim admitted his mistake and apologized and even admitted that he had been summoned by the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendari) and was ready to accept the sanctions.

"Thank you, yes, these leaders who are gentle dare to do, dare to take responsibility. You started it. Greetings to the residents of Depok and Indramayu sing in good health, hopefully the waste affairs and coin sweepers will all be finished. These are great leaders in West Java," said Dedi ending.
