JAKARTA - The police reminded businessmen to properly implement the rules for the Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM). They are also asked not to be selfish by forcing their employees to keep working.

"We continue to remind company leaders, please don't be selfish," said the Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Yusri Yunus, to reporters on Thursday, July 8.

In addition, entrepreneurs are asked to be more concerned with the spread of COVID-19. The availability of places in hospitals handling COVID-19 is getting less and less. In fact, many people have died.

"Just look at the graves that are full, let alone the existing hospitals and Athletes' House. Do the employees want to be victims," he said.

Therefore, Yusri emphasized that the Police would take firm action against businessmen who were stubborn. Because their actions have a very bad impact on the transmission of COVID-19.

"We will take firm action, we will take firm action against the leaders or owners of the company if they violate the rules," said Yusri.

Previously reported, Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Fadil Imran said many people entering Jakarta were company employees who were forced to work by their bosses. So, the fault lies with the company's leaders, not the employees.

"So, it is not the employees who are at fault. What is wrong is the employer who keeps ordering them to come to work," said Inspector General Fadil.

In fact, up to now, dozens of companies have been involved in violating the Emergency PPKM rules. The process is already at the investigation stage and it remains only to determine the suspect.

"There are 21 companies that have been fingerprinted. We will find out who the suspects are among these skippers," said Inspector General Fadil.
