BEKASI - The Bekasi Regency Government, West Java permanently closed the operation of the Night Entertainment Place (THM) under the guise of a restaurant, namely the Infinity Cafe at Ruko Menteng Blok A27-29 Jalan MH Thamrin Lippo Cikarang, Cibatu Village, South Cikarang District. "If the owner breaks the seal, he will be subject to legal sanctions," said Bekasi Regent Dani Ramdan while leading the closure, Antara, Friday, September 16. PT Sarinah Kim Jaya as the owner of the Infinity Cafe was declared to have violated Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Tourism with a permanent closure sanction accompanied by the revocation of business licenses. "The previous permit for restaurants, but the implementation is karaoke and night entertainment, so it is not in accordance with the permit. In this place there is also a violation of ethics because it employs employees by wearing school clothes attributes that are not in place," he said. The local government will allow the place to operate on condition that it changes the name and type of business. "Patrol officers will carry out regular surveillance and if the community finds activities like this, immediately report them to us," he said. Dani hopes that business activities in Bekasi Regency can be carried out in an orderly manner and comply with applicable regional regulations. "For other places of business that are not appropriate, starting today we will submit a letter of warning first, second, and third with a predetermined time limit," he said. Acting Head of Bekasi Regency Satpol PP Deni Mulyadi said the closure of the business activities was carried out until the manager changed the type of business according to the permit that had been taken. "If in the future we want to open a restaurant, please, but if we open another karaoke business, we will still ban it even if it changes the name," he said. At the same time, his party also sent a warning letter accompanied by a copy of regional regulations to all business owners in the Jalan MH Thamrin area, Lippo Cikarang, for order to run a business. "A total of 85 entertainment venues in this area. We will not be selective, if not heeded, we will close all of them," he said. Deni stated that entrepreneurs who want to unseal the closure for the sake of changing their businesses or renovating are required to submit an application letter to the Bekasi Regency Satpol PP. "Later, we will monitor it with the relevant regional apparatus. If he wants to play games, please, but we will not open the seal," he said.
