JAKARTA - The Central Jakarta Metro Police (Jakpus) deployed 1,948 joint personnel to serve the rally held by the Central Leadership Council of the Federation of Indonesian Metal Workers' Unions (DPP FSPMI) and a number of community elements in the DPR/MPR area, Thursday, April 16.

"We are ready to serve the protesters and prioritize professionalism and persuasive attitudes in the field," said Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Pol Reynold EP Hutagalung, quoted by Antara, Thursday, April 16.

According to him, in the service of the demonstration, the Metro Police of Jakpus involved as many as 1,948 joint personnel from the police, police and police stations.

The officers, said Reynold, were spread out at a number of strategic points, especially in the DPR/MPR building area to anticipate potential disturbances of public security and order (kamtibmas) and traffic congestion around the protest location.

He also emphasized the importance of presenting opinions in an orderly manner, without violating rules or creating an anarchic situation.

Reynold ensured that all security personnel were not equipped with firearms and always prioritized a humanistic approach.

Furthermore, he said that vehicle traffic flow engineering would be implemented on a situational basis if there was a spike in the number of masses or security disruptions.

Meanwhile, based on the official Instagram account @fspmi_kspi, the demonstration will be held in front of the DPR/MPR building today, Thursday.

During the demonstration, it was stated that thousands of workers demanded the ratification of the new Labor Law and the elimination of outsourcing and cheap wages.
