JAKARTA - The moment of the inauguration of the Jakarta International Stadium or JIS in North Jakarta was accompanied by the incident of the collapse of the fence for fans or spectators of the northern zone stadium on Sunday, July 24.

DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said the collapsed fence did not interfere with the JIS inauguration ceremony which was enlivened by the Persija Jakarta match against Thai club Chonburi FC.

"Last night there was a fence that fell, but it didn't interfere with the event," said Anies on his Facebook account, Monday, July 25.

According to Anies, the breakdown of the audience guardrail was due to The Jakmania's unstoppable enthusiasm for being able to witness their favorite team again competing in DKI Jakarta. Persija is known for the last few years using a temporary home base in the buffer zone of the capital, especially Bekasi.

"Perhaps because of The Jakmania's unstoppable passion and longing after so many years, they are finally able to return to support Persija in their own cage," he said.

Anies ensured that he would evaluate the incidents that occurred during the inauguration of JIS. He also emphasized that all relevant stakeholders pay attention to the evaluation of the aftermath of the collapse of the fence.

"Yesterday's match became a valuable material for evaluation of all of us, Jakpro, Jakmania, DKI Provincial Government, and Persija," he said.

Finally, Anies reminded The Jakmania and all communities who use JIS to maintain facilities and infrastructure. For him, a building is not only a supporting infrastructure, but is also accompanied by shared ownership between the users of the benefits.

"Let's take care of our stadium, keep the pride of this place, and show everyone that this stadium is not just a masterpiece building, but the fans are also an example for all," he said.
