Depok Deputy Mayor Chandra Rahmansyah emphasized that he would impose criminal sanctions if fraud was found in the 2025 New Student Admission System (SPMB) was found.

"In order to strengthen system integrity, the Depok City Government will bind the implementers through agreements and commitment statements. If violations are found, criminal law sanctions will be imposed," Chandra said as quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, June 2.

According to him, the Depok City Government (Pemkot) is committed to implementing the New Student Admission System (SPMB) honestly, with integrity, and free from all forms of fraud.

"We ensure that in the implementation of the SPMB there is no practice of being entrusted. This is a form of our commitment to create justice for the entire Depok community," said Chandra Rahmansyah.

He emphasized that fraudulent practices such as buying and selling seats will no longer be tolerated and his party will act decisively against all forms of data manipulation, gratuities, and other violations that injure the revenue process that is fair and transparent.

"The mayor's directive is very clear, this system must be clean from fraud in any form. Therefore, we gather all educators and operators so that they are in line with the leadership's instructions," he continued.

Chandra Rahmansyah reminded that the implementation of the SPMB is a big mandate, not only to the government, but also to God and the nation.

This is a responsibility to God, the nation, and the people of Indonesia. This is a field of charity. We hope that those who carry out this task with good intentions will get a reward for goodness from God Almighty," he said.

Previously, Depok Mayor Supian Suri firmly stated that the implementation of the New Student Admission System (SPMB) for the 2025/2026 Academic Year would be free from the practice of entrusting, intervention, and abuse of authority.

"All decisions and processes that will run are the full authority and decisions of the committee, according to SPMB rules," he said.

He emphasized that there is no room for intervention in the process of selecting public schools.

"We cannot force all students to enter and attend public schools, because this will affect the quality of education. Everything must be in accordance with capacity," he said.
