Deputy Mayor of Bogor, Jenal Mutaqin, came to the Central Bogor Police to meet Dani, a viral busker for angry effects in public transportation (doc the Bogor City Government).

BOGOR Deputy Mayor of Bogor, Jenal Mutaqin, visited the Central Bogor Police Headquarters on Wednesday, July 23 to meet directly with Dani (29), a busker who had gone viral on social media due to his angry actions in city transportation (angkot). The incident caused public unrest and drew a lot of public comments.

Dani was arrested on Tuesday night by a joint team from the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) and the police at his home in the North Bogor area. The arrests were made after a video of him being aggressive and intimidating when busking on public transportation spread widely on social media.

In his meeting with Dani, Jenal Mutaqin expressed his hope that similar incidents would not be repeated in the city of Bogor. He emphasized the importance of community participation in maintaining environmental order and comfort.

"Of course I hope this kind of incident will no longer happen in Bogor City. We rely heavily on citizen participation to report various forms of unrest, including disturbing acts of thuggery," Jenal said.

According to Jenal, Dani is not part of the busker community that has been fostered by the Bogor City Government (Pemkot). From the results of the data collection, Dani admitted that it had only been two days before the incident occurred.

"Dani is not registered in our fostered community. But even though she has not been included in the coaching data, we still have to provide a humanist approach and solutions," he said.

As a form of coaching efforts and long-term solutions, Jenal offers Dani a job as an environmental sweeper within the City Hall. However, this offer was accompanied by important conditions, namely Dani had to stop consuming liquor.

In addition to the legal process that is being carried out at the Bogor City Police, I offer him a job as a road sweeper at City Hall. But there are conditions: you have to stop drinking alcohol. Because this is the main trigger for deviant behavior, "said Jenal.

Jenal also said that Dani is known to still have children dependents from his ex-wife, so that the provision of this work is also a form of concern for the social and economic aspects faced.

On that occasion, Jenal emphasized that the Bogor City Government actually had a coaching program for buskers operating on the streets. Currently, there are around 400 buskers who have been recorded, and of these, about 200 people have gone through the selection process and are given space to appear officially in a number of public areas and places of business in collaboration with the City Government.

We have prepared safe and organized places for them to perform, such as in the Bogor City Square, Heulang Field, Taman Expression, to several cafes such as Weekends, Switzerland-Bell, and others. We want them to make music in a dignified manner, not in a scary way," he said.

However, Jenal did not turn a blind eye that there are still many buskers roaming outside the coaching system, and not all of them are residents of Bogor City. For those who do domiciled in Bogor City, the City Government will continue to collect data and approaches to be directed into the fostered community.

"This is part of our commitment in responding to directions from the Mayor to make Bogor free from thuggery. We cannot tolerate behavior that disturbs residents, especially if it is triggered by alcohol consumption," he said.

Jenal hopes that the public can also continue to support the City Government's efforts in realizing public order, including by not giving money to buskers who are forcing or acting inappropriately.

"Don't give them a stage for deviant behavior. On the other hand, let's help us lead them to a better path," he concluded.
