JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung responded to the phenomenon of installing high fences at a number of malls and office buildings in Jakarta that have recently begun to be seen. He admitted that the move was triggered by concerns about potential security disruptions, as was the case in August last year.
Although he understands the reason behind the installation of the fence, Pramono considers excessive concerns to be bad. He even opened the possibility of asking for the fences to be removed again when the situation is considered conducive.
"Regarding the installation of the fence, I also observed, maybe part of the concern, but later at the right time I will ask for the fences to be removed again," said Pramono in the Blok M area, South Jakarta, Friday, July 31.
Pramono emphasized that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government had coordinated with the TNI, Polri, and other law enforcement agencies to maintain the security conditions of the capital.
"Because excessive worries are also not good. And I as the Governor of Jakarta coordinate with the TNI, Polri, other law enforcement agencies, we will keep Jakarta hopefully always safe, comfortable and make joy for whoever is there to enjoy Jakarta," said Pramono.
When asked about the form of concern in question, Pramono openly associated it with the situation in August last year.
"Yes, the same concerns as last August. But hopefully not. I'm sure not, I'm sure not," said Pramono.
Later, speculation circulated on social media regarding the potential for riots in August 2026 which was associated with the installation of high fences at a number of shopping centers and office buildings.
Pramono asked the public not to be immersed in concerns and ensure that the government and security forces would maintain the stability of Jakarta.
