JAKARTA - The Parking Management Unit (UP) of the South Jakarta Satpel Transportation Office has put up a banner prohibiting the collection of illegal parking fees at Blok M Square, South Jakarta after a viral video of residents who paid parking twice.
"We have appealed to parking managers to put up a socialization banner that prohibits the collection of parking fees to illegal parking attendants," said Head of Sudinhub South Jakarta Bernad Oktavianus Pasaribu when confirmed in Jakarta, Wednesday.
Bernad said that in the action, his party collaborated with the Satpol PP and the Parking Management Unit (UP) of the Transportation Office of the South Jakarta Satpel in carrying out monitoring and supervision with the aim of preventing the occurrence of illegal parking attendants.
Therefore, the South Jakarta Administration Parking Implementation Unit has installed eight banners prohibiting illegal parking fees that are scattered in the Blok M Square area.
"Best Parking has followed up on the direction by installing a socialization banner that prohibits visitors from giving parking fees to illegal parking attendants," he said.
His party has also taken action against 10 illegal parking attendants (jukir) in the Blok M Square parking lot, after the viral video. "There are 10 illegal parking attendants who have been documented," he said.
Bernad said the action had been carried out on Tuesday (31/3) afternoon at 17.00 WIB. In the action, his party collaborated with Satpol PP and the Parking Management Unit (UP) of Blok M Square.
A total of 10 illegal parking attendants were disciplined and asked to make a statement not to return to illegal collection. Namely, initials MU, S, R, MRB, SA, MI, JS, D, IN, and AF.
Meanwhile, the Head of the South Jakarta Police Pamong Praja Unit (Satpol PP), Nanto Dwi Subekti, said this regulation was a follow-up to public complaints regarding the practice of double parking fees in the area.
"They are withdrawing parking money, even though parking is only charged once officially using a ticket," said Nanto.
A total of 10 illegal parking attendants who were secured were given sanctions in the form of a report of the examination (BAP) by the Parking Management Unit (UP) of the Police.
"If they repeat it, they will be subject to heavier sanctions," he said.
In addition to disciplining illegal parking attendants, continued Nanto, officers also took action against seven street vendors (PKL) who sold in the wrong place.
Thus, visitors to Blok M Square are urged to only pay parking once at the exit and park their vehicles officially provided by the management.
Previously, a resident's protest against illegal parking fees went viral on the Instagram social media, so he had to pay twice for parking at Blok M Square.
