JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono admitted that he was asking for data on Jakarta students who played online gambling to Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Hadi Tjahjanto. This was revealed by Heru when giving counseling to students at the Melati Jaya PKK Building, South Jakarta. "Yesterday I went to the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs to ask by name by address, who are the residents, who are the students, who are the students who did the judol and he received KJMU assistance," said Heru, Monday, August 5. According to Heru, the data that will be obtained by the DKI Provincial Government is complete enough to trace and follow up on student involvement in online gambling. Starting from identity to use of gambling transactions so far. "There is a column of person A, person B, the NIK is there, the address is where. The rightmost column or the first column is him trying, the second column at the right is that he has done it many times, the last column is there many times with the amount of rupiah that has been recorded," explained Heru. After obtaining the data, Heru emphasized that he would revoke the Jakarta Superior Student Card (KJMU) assistance to students who received assistance who played online gambling. "For students who do it many times, play the term, judol game, first (do it) if we can, secondly we are fostered, we explain the three parents. If we don't (stop), we have to do KJP, including the KJMU, we will withdraw," said Heru. Previously, Heru Budi Hartono opened the option to take firm action against residents who received social assistance (bansos) who were caught playing online gambling. However, to determine what actions the residents who receive social assistance for online gambling players, Heru Budi admitted that he would first coordinate with the central government. "There is firm action, but later together with the relevant ministries we will see the range," said Heru at Grand Hyatt, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, July 2. However, Heru emphasized that the DKI Provincial Government will still educate them not to play online gambling anymore, before taking firm action.

"We give them the opportunity to change behavior. It can't be arbitrary like that too. Together with the police, to what extent do they play gambling, is it big enough," said Heru.
