JAKARTA – The Jakarta Watch Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) stated that Citayam Fasion Week (CFW) which was held at the Dukuh Atas zebra crossing, Central Jakarta violated Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation.
"It is regulated in Articles 131 and 132," said Jakarta Watch Chairman Andy William Sinaga, quoting Antara, Saturday, July 23.
For this reason, he supports the prohibition of fashion shows in the area now known as CFW.
Andy considered the statement of the Governor of DKI Anies Baswedan inappropriate because it did not prohibit the actions of these young people.
"As governor, Mr. Anies must understand the law and if you want to facilitate the implementation of the fashion week, it can be facilitated at the youth/sports arena owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government," he said.
In Article 131 of Law No. 22 of 2009 clearly regulates the rights of pedestrians to be provided with crossings, sidewalks and other facilities.
Whereas in Article 132 it is stated that pedestrians must use the designated place when crossing.
The place that has been determined is a zebra cross or a crossing.
"Users of zebra crossings are also required to pay attention to the safety and smoothness of traffic. The point is that the means of crossing the road is a means of traffic for crossings used by pedestrians," he said.
That way, he continued, Citayam Fashion Week is indicated to have violated the Traffic and Road Transportation Law because it used a road crossing that was not according to its designation so that it interfered with pedestrian facilities.
Articles 274 and 275 of Law Number 22 of 2009 stipulate sanctions in the form of a criminal threat of one to two years in prison and a maximum fine of Rp. 24 million to Rp. 50 million.
Previously, the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, stated that he would not prohibit the action of teenagers from holding a fashion show or Citayam Fashion Week in Dukuh Atas or currently known as "SCBD".
"As long as there is no letter, there is no prohibition," said Anies at Jakarta City Hall, Friday.
The former Minister of Education and Culture dismissed questions from the media crew about the dangerous considerations because they were held at a road crossing.
He said the information about the ban was only to attract the interest of readers or clickbait.
"No (related to harm), as long as there is no letter, it means there is no provision. That is all clickbait and helps increase your traffic, right?" Anies told reporters.
For this reason, he continued, policies are not regulated through comments in the media but are determined through decisions.
"So you can't, the country doesn't regulate through doorstops (interviews with journalists, the country is not regulated through comments. The country is regulated through regulations. As long as there are no regulations, then there are no restrictions," said Anies.
Previously, Anies' subordinates in Central Jakarta emphasized that the sidewalk and zebra crossing on Jalan Tanjung Karang, Dukuh Atas MRT Station Area, Central Jakarta, did not function as a fashion show, but as public facilities for the public.
Deputy Mayor of Central Jakarta, Irwandi, appealed to SCBD youth groups who used the venue as a fashion show to pay attention to car and motorcycle users passing through the area.
"In accordance with the function of the sidewalk for roads, do not make catwalk events at the zebra cross, please help other road users, it's not just them who use it, there are other road users who are disturbed," said Irwandi.
