JAKARTA - Controlling of joint officers against illegal parking attendants (jukir) in a number of minimarkets in the Central Jakarta area has not provided a deterrent effect. Because, not long after the control was carried out, the illegal jukir returned to operation.

Indeed, previously the control of illegal jukir which was intensified by the Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-dept. only collected data and provided a statement to the minimarket jukir without any strict sanctions.

Suwadi (38), one of the minimarket customers, admitted that he still found jukir in each minimarket in the Central Jakarta area who was still asking for parking fees. Although it does not force it, the existence of jukir often harms minimarket consumers.

"I spent so I wasn't comfortable with this jukir. For example, spending at a cost of Rp. 8,000 but when I wanted to go home I had to pay for parking Rp. 2,000. It was greater than the need for me to shop. If I was given Rp. 500.00, I was even angry," he complained to reporters, Thursday, May 30.

Suwadi hopes that the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency will immediately issue clear rules for the jukir so that all minimarkets in Jakarta are completely sterile from the existence of illegal jukir who are troubling minimarket consumers.

"The rules must also be clear, what are the toughest sanctions if the jukir violates again. Don't just record them," he said.

Meanwhile, the Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-Department again held control of illegal jukir in a number of minimarkets in the Tanah Abang area.

The Field Coordinator for Control of the Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-dept., W S Laoly, said that his party had brought order to 12 illegal jukir people while guarding parking.

"There were 12 (given a statement letter), they were again marked at the minimarket in the Tanah Abang area. We brought them to the office to be given a statement so they don't repeat their actions. (if you repeat their actions) Maybe tomorrow the social services will be," he said.
