Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment, Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin, said that escorting state officials while driving is better used as needed.

The statement was made when commenting on the virality of escort officers (patwals) who were arrogant when accompanying cars with RI plates 36.

"In fact, my escort has become a habit from the past, which I think we really need to use if we really need it," said Cak Imin to reporters at TMPN, Jakarta, Saturday, January 11.

The context of what is meant is like when serving in carrying out state duties. So, it takes speed to move from one location to another.

According to him, if it is not really needed, then state officials are advised not to use the escort facility.

"If we don't need it, it's better if we just get used to it," said Cak Imin.

Meanwhile, regarding the arrogant Patwal members, the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya stated that they had examined and sanctioned them.

Wadirlantas Polda Metro Jaya AKBP Argo Yuwono said the patwal officer had the initials Brigadier DK. The sanction given was in the form of a warning.

In addition, Brigadier DK was also asked to be more humane when on duty to carry out escort.

"It has been examined and we will give sanctions," said Argo

It was also explained about the issue. From the examination of Brigadier DK, the incident began when the Toyota Alphard car that was traveling on the middle track tried to shift to the right. Because, there is a road repair truck that stops.

At that time, there was another car that was also traveling on the right lane. Thus, there was almost a collision. The Toyota Alphard driver was involved in a debate and had the potential to cause traffic jams.

Brigadier DK was also said to be trying to intervene and asked the Toyota Alphard driver to continue his journey. It was that moment that went viral as if there was an arrogant attitude from the police.

"At that time, the guard press immediately took the initiative to intervene and asked Alphard taxi vehicles to move forward immediately so as not to cause traffic jams," said Argo.
