BANDUNG – Regarding the expansion plan or the formation of a new autonomous region in West Java, the Chair of the National Awakening Party (PKB) faction of the West Java Provincial DPRD, H Muhamad Sidkon, asked the West Java Provincial Government to be more active and intense. Because the proposal has been agreed with the legislature.

"We hope that regarding the DOB there will be a clear 'follow-up' from the West Java Provincial Government. So the West Java Provincial Government must be intense again," he said when contacted by telephone by Antara, Thursday, May 5.

The West Java Provincial Government has again proposed three new autonomous regions, namely South Cianjur Regency, South Tasikmalaya Regency, and North Garut Regency.

West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil and the chairman of the West Java DPRD signed the approval of the proposed three candidates for the new autonomous preparatory region (CDPOB) at the West Java DPRD Plenary Meeting at the West Java DPRD Building in Bandung, some time ago.

Sidkon, who is also a member of Commission I of the West Java DPRD, said that the West Java Provincial Government must take follow-up measures, such as sending the West Java Regional Secretary or the West Java DPRD to visit or meet with the Indonesian House of Representatives and the Vice President regarding the new DOB proposal.

"The term must 'pick up the ball'. For example by visiting the DPR RI or even if you can meet the Vice President," he said.

According to him, so far the West Java Provincial Government is still considered weak or has not made many follow-up efforts after ratifying the new DOB proposal.

"Don't let it be because it has been ratified in the plenary session that it feels finished. So there must be more concrete efforts from the West Java Provincial Government. It looks like waiting for the 'destiny' of the new autonomous regions moratorium," he said.

In fact, he said, the proposed new autonomous regions in West Java were related to economic development and development, especially the southern part of West Java.

"West Java today is far behind by neighbors like East Java. Now is the time for us to rise up through this new autonomous region proposal," he said.
