JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono will issue a regulation prohibiting all ASN DKI Provincial Government from showing off their wealth or flexing.

This is the aftermath of the family behavior of one of the officials of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency who often flexs so that it goes viral on social media. The rules that will be issued by Heru Budi are the governor's instructions (ingub).

"Yes, I have planned to issue an Ingub (regarding the flexing ban)," said Heru when met at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Central Jakarta, Monday, April 3.

Regarding the family flexing case of the Head of Traffic Control and Operations and Road Transportation Division of the Transportation Service Massdes Auroffy, Heru did not want to interfere much.

He handed over the action to the DKI Jakarta Inspectorate who is currently examining the Massdes. "Of course this is all a process, it is being investigated by the Inspectorate. (The summoning of Massdes' wife and children) is up to the Inspectorate. The important thing is that the flow must be clear," said Heru.

Recently, netizens exposed the behavior of Massdes' wife and children who often uploaded photos of their appearances and accessories, ranging from bags, shoes, to camera lenses. Various well-known bag brands exhibited ranging from Hermès, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, to Dior.

When traced, the price of bags exhibited by the Masdes family varied, ranging from tens and tens of millions of rupiah. In fact, there was one Hermès bag exhibited by Masdes' wife, if genuine, the price reached Rp1.5 billion.

Meanwhile, Masdes is recorded to only have assets of IDR 1.8 billion per year 2021. This was revealed in the report on the assets of state officials (LHKPN) reported by Masdes on March 12, 2022.

In the clarification process, DKI Jakarta Assistant Inspector II Deden Bahtiar said that his party would find out whether the luxury bag owned by the original or mock Massdes family (KW).

Deden admitted that his party could not provide further information regarding the examination. This is because the process of clarifying Massdes for the behavior of his family's flexing has not been completed. The DKI Provincial Government has also not asked for an explanation from Massdes' wife and child.

"We will still develop it according to its development. If for example it is deemed necessary to present related parties so that they can be clear, of course we present them. We will work as well as possible, as objectively as possible," said Deden.

In addition, the DKI Provincial Government has not given any sanctions to the Massdes. Given that the clarification process has not yet reached its end. The results of this examination, said Deden, are needed in full so that sanctions can be given according to the provisions.
