JAKARTA - The Sub-Directorate of Traffic Law Enforcement of the Metro Jaya Police, AKBP Ojo Ruslani, appealed to the public not to use brong exhaust or noisy exhaust at night on New Year's Eve 2026.
Ojo said that the New Year's Eve celebration should be carried out in a simple manner as a form of empathy for victims of natural disasters that occurred on the island of Sumatra and a number of other areas.
"We appeal to the public who will celebrate New Year's Eve to celebrate it in a simple way. The government has also banned fireworks as a form of empathy for our brothers and sisters who are affected by disasters, including the prohibition of the use of brong exhaust," he said when contacted by the media, Tuesday, December 30, 2025.
According to him, the use of brong exhaust not only violates traffic rules, but also has the potential to have social impacts in the community. Noisy exhaust can trigger unrest, public order disorders, and social conflicts due to disruption of citizen comfort.
"The use of brong exhaust violates Article 285 of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. In addition to violating the law, the noise from the exhaust can stimulate social chaos and trigger commotion because it disturbs the peace of the community," he explained.
For this reason, the police invite all people to work together to maintain a conducive kamtibmas situation during the New Year's Eve by not using brong exhaust and complying with all applicable regulations.
"We hope that the community can celebrate the new year in an orderly, safe, and empathetic manner. Don't use brong exhaust for the sake of mutual comfort," he concluded.
