JAKARTA The installation of internet poles in the Warakas area, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, triggered an internal conflict between regional administrators. The head of RT 01 Warakas, Sujarwo, reported the head of RW 01 with the initials B to the Tanjung Priok Police because he felt he was not involved in the installation decision.
According to Sujarwo, the incident began when one of the internet service providers held a meeting with 14 RW heads in Warakas to ask for permission to install an internet pole. The provider offered compensation of Rp. 6 million for RWs who agreed. Of the 14 RWs, only four received the offer, namely RW 01, RW 05, RW 07, and RW 09.
"Only four RWs received, the other ten refused," Sujarwo told reporters, Tuesday (26/8/2025).
Problems arose when internet poles began to be installed in the RT 01 area without socialization. Sujarwo admitted that he was not aware of the plan, especially regarding the news of the compensation money.
"First, I didn't know about the installation of internet poles, suddenly there was news of money coming in. My name was also mentioned as if he had received it, even though he didn't," he explained.

Sujarwo felt that his good name was polluted because he was mentioned as the party who approved the installation. In addition to questioning the legality of the internet pole on the shoulder of the road, he finally reported this matter to the police.
"What I question is the legality. Second, my name was defamed. This is not a matter of RT, but a matter of personal honor," he said.
The police had mediated with Sujarwo and B, but no agreement was reached.
Meanwhile, B considers this issue not to be exaggerated. "His name leads, there must be pros and cons. I just follow the procedure, so that time answers," said B.
