JAKARTA - The installation of campaign props (APK) is getting out of control. The APK, a flag type of one of the political parties (Parpol) is suspected of being deliberately installed on public street lighting poles (PJU) along Jalan Sultan Agung, Pasar Rumput, bordering Central Jakarta and South Jakarta.

According to Fatahillah (29), one of the motorcyclists who often passed the location, he began to be surprised when he saw the presence of the flag of one of the political parties attached to the PJU lamppole.

"Initially I didn't pay attention to the party's attributes, but earlier I saw that there was already a party flag mounted on the street lamp. It was very high, the flag was the highest," he said to the head shaking at the Halimun traffic light (TL), Setiabudi, South Jakarta, Thursday, January 18.

Fatahillah admitted that the installation of a number of party flags was installed on the road divider fence. Usually, the flag is attached using wood and bamboo. However, the most surprising thing is that there are flags that actually take advantage of public facilities, namely street lighting poles.

"Isn't it wrong that it was installed, was it at the PJU lamp?" he asked in surprise.

Fatahillah hopes that party volunteers will be wiser in installing the props. So as not to disturb public order. He also continued his journey when the traffic light returned to green.

A series of traffic accidents occurred in Jakarta due to campaign props (APK) that violated the rules at a number of points, causing harm to the community.

Several APKs such as the party flag that was damaged along the Pondok Kopi flyover, Duren Sawit sub-district, East Jakarta also often disturb motorists.

Even the motorcycle accident that hit a car on Jalan Laut Arafuru, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta was due to the view that the driver was blocked by the APK in the form of a legislative candidate banner (Caleg).
