Agus said that parking at the Kramat Jati Main Market is under the authority of the parking unit, although it is still within the Perumda Pasar Jaya environment.

"Because parking is under the division of another implementing unit, parking. But because he is in Perumda (Pasar Jaya), he is in Perumda but in cooperation with a third party," he said.

The victim had asked, "Where is the receipt?", to the parking attendant.

"No uncle. I'm sorry," replied the officer.

"I know all the PD people. Let everyone line up, let all the security guards go down," said the victim.

"I was wrong, uncle, I'm sorry, uncle," replied the officer again.

Until now, the case of alleged illegal parking fees at Kramat Jati Main Market is still being investigated by Perumda Pasar Jaya officers.
