BANDUNG - West Java Governor (Jabar) Dedi Mulyadi admitted that he had asked the relevant parties to provide a deterrent effect to the illegal parking (pungli) perpetrators in connection with the viral complaints from the public about the alleged parking fee of Rp. 15 thousand in Braga, Bandung.
He proposed that the perpetrators be sent to military barracks if extortion was categorized as a relatively minor offense.
"Yes, if you want to be militarized, then later you will follow the training, then you will be directed to work in what sector. Isn't that the solution. For example, you will be recruited as an official parking attendant. Jukir (parking attendant) is official," said West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi at the Bandung State Building, Monday, December 22.
Dedi Mulyadi also sent a message to all regional governments to take firm action against all forms of extortion that only enrich a few people.
"So I have also said that we must start focusing on arrangement, there must be no more illegal parking, illegal collection, coordinators of traders, which only enrich a few people and make Bandung City a slum," said Dedi Mulyadi.
The West Java Provincial Government, he said, will take firm action against groups that carry out extortion. Moreover, he continued, this is currently entering the long Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 holidays.
"We want ordinary people, we want any group, we will process according to the provisions of the law, because Bandung City is a city that has high tourism values, which must be made comfortable for visitors," said Dedi Mulyadi.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of the City of Bandung Iskandar Zulkarnain admitted that he had followed up on the viral video about parking extortion in the Braga area, Bandung City. At this time, the parking attendant has undergone a legal process by the police.
"We have processed it at the police, it has become a crime, but it is like that, it is wild. So we can't data one by one. So once we know this, it will appear again. But whatever, every time we will monitor and we will monitor," said Iskandar.
