Head of DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Agency (Kadisdukcapil) Budi Awaluddin warned migrants who would come to try their luck in Jakarta after Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijriah.

Bearing in mind, in the data collection of the DKI Provincial Government, 80 percent of migrants who entered Jakarta for the last 4 years were residents with the last high school education and below. Then, 40 percent of them earn low income.

Meanwhile, it is estimated that new arrivals will enter Jakarta this year as many as 15 thousand to 20 thousand people. The majority, they are relatives of Jakarta residents who come back home after Eid.

"From year to year, Jakarta has become the center of urbanization, starting from looking for luck in the region. However, when it comes to Jakarta, sometimes it's not as lucky as it is often heard," Budi told reporters, Sunday, April 7.

In addition, Jakarta after the move of the capital city to Nusantara, East Kalimantan this year will face increasingly tough challenges because it is projected by a global city.

Therefore, Budi appealed to Jakarta residents who celebrate Eid al-Fitr in their hometowns not to bring their relatives back to Jakarta without guaranteeing a proper place to live and a place to work.

"In addition, for residents who want to come to Jakarta, for several reasons, they must be aware that they are also preparing themselves, their skills and skills. So, when they stay in Jakarta, they can be guaranteed," said Budi.

"Also, don't just come to Jakarta, change your ID card, and then return to the area of origin," he continued.

Budi continued, currently the DKI Provincial Government is implementing a population administration control program. Where, the population identification number (NIK) of residents with Jakarta ID cards who no longer live in Jakarta will be disabled so that they can take care of population transfer.

"So, people who are not in accordance with their domicile, of course, we will arrange it by temporarily deactivating the NIK. In the future, we will formulate a new policy in suppressing the mobility of migrants to Jakarta," he said.
