JAKARTA - Member of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Ali Lubis assessed that DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung's decision to open a number of parks for 24 hours was inappropriate. According to Ali, a park that is open 24 hours prone to crime is open.
"Above 12 o'clock at night, of course, it will be very vulnerable, especially for women and children, such as being prone to perpetrators of crimes such as robbery, robbery, motorcycle gangs, and others," Ali told reporters, Tuesday, May 20.
In addition, a park that is open 24 hours, according to him, has the potential to invite young people to commit indecent acts, such as committing obscene acts to hanging out while drinking alcohol.
Ali understands that the purpose of opening the park for 24 hours can be an alternative cheap entertainment venue for the community, especially at night. However, park operating hours should remain limited.
"For a 24-hour operation time, I don't think it's right, it's better if it's only until 24.00," said Ali.
On the other hand, the DKI Provincial Government also needs to improve security aspects such as installing surveillance cameras (CCTV), as well as providing trash cans at various points in order to maintain the comfort of visiting residents.
"To create a sense of security, I think the Jakarta Provincial Government needs to cooperate with the police in conducting patrols around the park that is open until that night," said Ali.

"The inauguration of five parks that are open 24 hours is carried out to support the function of green open space (RTH) as an inclusive park for residents, while still paying attention to its ecological function," said Pramono.
Pramono said he was happy to see the extraordinary public interest in welcoming the 24-hour garden activation, especially at Laman Lapangan Banteng.
Many community communities have been observed to have held activities that make the park busy with various positive activities at night.
Pramono also hopes that with the existence of a 24-hour park, the people of Jakarta have many places to interact, stay in touch, share, and support each other according to their interests.
Pramono believes that through these parks there will be a sense of tolerance, togetherness, a sense of belonging to the City of Jakarta, and mutual respect between residents.
"I invite all communities and communities in Jakarta to play a role in the 24-hour garden activation and take good care of it," said Pramono.
